Powered by wind, Netherlands-based Theo Jansen creates amazing large-scale kinetic installations dubbed Strandbeests.
“Since 1990, I have been creating new forms of life,” explains Jansen. “I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind so they don’t have to eat."
Constructed from PVC tubing, the various creations use the energy of the wind to travel around. His latest project involves manufacturing smaller scale single print 3D Strandbeest with propeller propulsion systems. Best of all, they require zero assembly.

“The ability to travel outside will be an enrichment of their habitat,” Jansen explains.
