Artificial Animal, No Batteries Needed!

I know this might be an old news, but I must say this is really fascinating. I was just looking around in youtube for some interesting video and stumble on this. Enjoy!

Theo Jansen - Strandbeest ("Beachbeast")

Theo Jansen, if you're unfamiliar, is the progenitor of Strandbeests--autonomous, wind-powered plastic tube creatures, many the size of elephants and larger, that this Dutch artist / engineer assembles to roam the beaches of Holland. And this is called Kinetic Sculptures.

Kudo to Frodeno and Snowsill

Emma Snowsill and Emma Moffatt at the Finish

Great Job Snowie and Frody....You guys hit the Gold streak on the Olympic Triathlon. I must say that for Frody has been really a Sprint to finish which is really strategic breaking the heart of Gomez, Doherty and Whitfield. Germany will be proud of you my friend.

Snowie, you really lift up to our expectation. G'on ya mate! Nice finish and Australia is having a good day, Its a good Aussie Day and Emma day. Moffatt finishes 3rd after Fernandes from Portugal who is one of the favourite!
