Theo Jansens Strandbeests - The Spirit Within

[pumapunka]

Thanks for the video =)

Sad, there's no comment of him integrated.

But nice work, like it =)

[davidcoldrey]

I drink plenty of beer, too ... and I've never seen ANYTHING like this! I really like that he says how it's given him insight into "... all the problems the real creator must have had ..." Notice the little dog, wagging its tail, trotting behind as the creatures walk along the beach. Looks like the creator solved most of his problems.

How beautiful can be simple kinematics...

[haywardboy510]

man if i saw this i would shoot it lol.

[djeh97]

ahh cool vid, it would be fuckin weird though if i was in the middle of the desert and i saw one of those things.

[Krondelo]

Only a genius could create such art.

[mikemhz]

@Krondelo it's true. genius is the word.

When you smoke cannabis in the younger years it can damage personal developement. When you get older that changes 180 degrees. Using cannabis than, can help you to concentrate on problems very long and deep. So ones everywhile people figure things out, in The Netherlands.

@etiennealive

yes, ofcourse, the cheeseheads, they're stoned all day long and have the finest prostitutes, and their language is annoying, no effence, there are good guys also, but the most are annoying

[etiennealive]

Lol. Don't take it to serious he.

[numinaimages]

Ironic how such a great mind comes from a country that has legalized Cannabis for personal use. Makes you wonder if us American's aren't horribly wrong. I thought our government told us that legalizing Marijuana will make every one stupid?

[VelvetLizard]

It might just encourage people to ramble on about somewhat irrelevant topics that have nothing to do with the context within which they are being broached...

[ErgeErik]

that we can legally use cannabis does not mean that everyone uses it, only the people who are stupid enough to use it on a regular basis do so, and therefore are already stupid

[numinaimages]

Yeah, I agree that not everyone uses it. And my comment was off based and not relevant to the video... However, I fail to understand how using cannabis makes you stupid or already stupid. Can you explain what you mean, ErgErik?

[ErgeErik]

i'm just referring to what you said: "I thought our government told us that legalizing Marijuana will make every one stupid?"

I guess using the stuff kills brain cells and all like alcohol does, but what i meant is that if you already are stupid enough to throw your live away by using drugs and all, that you probably wouldn't be capable of solving global problems like curing cancer, or designing complex mechanical objects

[atheisttotindekist]

Actually if you carefully study these designs, they are not that complex. They are modular and by using many legs they give the impression of being very complex and coordinated.

Just look at a single mechanism and how a rotation in the center part causes the leg-like movements.

(I drink plenty of beer)

[Galactusworldeater]

These are amazing machines, this guy has to be a genius. I mean he has built a basic binary mind into these using RODS OF BAMBOO!

[Isosyth]

Theo Jansen is a damn genius... its amazing how complex these "animals" are using only bottles, electrical conduit(tubing), and the tubes to carry the stored air. They can detect water and dry sand and even have a binary "computer" that measure the steps so it knows where it is at all times.

[jbraly]

To create things like this means you have a mind like few, if any other himan being

[greenG0S]

This is perfect example how human can use his mind to create most beautiful things.

Just amazing.

[jump4h]

amazing!

i hope he keeps improving on these!

[JingleJoe]

I'm going to make one of these one day :)
