“Wow” says it perfectly.
This is interesting…
Now,
couple this into a generator system, and have different sections WAVE, as the wind goes by…Would be beutiful and gen POWER.
I’ve got to 2 words for this: “FREAKING AMAZING”. I wish my children turn out to be geniuses like this man.
Amazing.
I think he sounds a lot like Christopher Walken
I hope that thing has an off switch or it will march right into the water.
I wonder how he gets it to walk back into the wind?
holy freaking crap that machine is sweet
DU’s renumerations bucket must be filling quickly for essentially posting a commercial?
Pretty amazing and beautifully done as well.
#5, you’re right! I think that thing needs more cowbell.
🙂
SHINY
There’s no doubt that great engineering = art.
So BMW is going to make a wind car? Awesome!
Now that is what I call a blend of art, engineering, and patience.
Truly beautiful work
thank you very good nice topic thanks 🙂
Makes me want to build one of those
You could do it in CG, but I think it would be just as hard, and not a project that I’d care to tackle.
Turd.
Man….I wish he was my neighbor so I could play with his art….just fantastic. Who cares if it’s a damn commercial?
I have a question…
With All these smart creative people….
Why aint BMW, using there ideas??
Think of how wonderfully the human body does these movements rather than watching a mechanical representation. Machines will never replace us – but, of course that wasn’t Theo’s point. Oh heck, just enjoy it. I sure did.
