Wind Powered Beach Mutant Robot

[ooglemcboogle]

Cool

[ooglemcboogle]

@ooglemcboogle I agree it was very cool!

[xxxcagriersozxxx]

WHY?

[zeppy215]

Welcome to the Machine!

[DasFunkwagen]

just wait till he figures out how to make them breed

[SuperZalex]

Awesome! Just, awesome!

[TjinDeDjen]

he would never win battle robots championship with this....

[PowerUpXX]

of course only after i stopped thinking about the genius behind it

[PowerUpXX]

the entire time i was just thinking "kick it in the shins!!!!!"

[sabata2]

My question is how do these 'robots' know to move away or towards the tide?

Ingenious design, I'll admit. Very impressive. But not efficient at all. You can hear all the creaking of the PVC joints, and that loses most of the wind energy right there.

All this guy needs is frictionless surfaces so that the energy transfer can be as complete as possible.

[woonsrus]

@sabata2 The guy used materials he beach-combed for. The waste PVC is cheap & light and he obviously had a lot of it...

[SuckyMeSucky]

it is out side my house

[BEWash]

This is pretty ingenious. Can any of your inventions carry a load?

[ido187]

LOL!! "Wings gather wind which is stored in bottles" yeah, and what about thunder stored in a bottle?:D

[CaptMARNEY]

beautiful

[hoyKumaG]

thsts how engine works

[StuPadazzo]

Why is there a Zebra sign on the beach at the 24 second mark....?

[perryboy73]

its a zebra crossing sign

[brave2k7]

Beautifull ! specially how legs move.

But we, with my brother, are going to achieve more.

We will add balance to movement.

Perhaps we can se it in autum, next year.

But still -- walking and low use of energy is beautiful !

[Titouc76]

Leonardo Da Vinci's reincarnation ! XD

[TheAussiNut]

He's 1 insainly inteligent bloke but how the hell he came up with that monstrossity & made it work amaizes me

[GeniusBumProductions]

@TheAussiNut he came up with the idea from some old di vinci ideas and drawings

[dirtysanchezproducti]

@TheAussiNut drugs...

[Mattros]

that pretty cool. how exactly dose it store the wind energy in bottles though?

[cozrulez]

it looks like the sails pump up a compreeor which then moves the legs in turn

pretty ingenious

[amustsee]

it's cool but it kinda creeps me out...

[madichelp0]

u sure? ofc it's scary as fuck

[htmlbandit]

That's pretty cool!

[joshtukes137]

it's alive!

[dxdoc]

hes imba

[eee10vrj]

cool

[naraic18]

the movement of the wind on the wings compresses air like those powerhog model planes, into bottles so that they can always move

[HaveFaith18]

By doing that, try ur head first ;)

[JamboyStu]

I would love to break your balls with a rusty screwdriver, but we can't all get what we want.

:o)

[R87Stang]

Does the wind blow parrallel with the wings or perpendicular?

[KottonmouthSoldiers]

yes

[R87Stang]

both?

[KottonmouthSoldiers]

yep, the way the sails are set it doesnt matter, it collects wind either way.

[WombatSlayer2]

perhaps the wind causes pressure build up?

[Sowinski314]

the wind isn't physically placed in the bottles, the wind acts upon sails and it transfers the force to compress air

[Zovex11]

Yes it does..

[Coryashire]

I am confused, how can wind be stored in a bottle, wouldnt it disapate.

[samparadis]

Wow, this is crazy!

[nytram42]

My house is infested with those things, do they make a spray to get rid of them?

[Exarian]

if all else fails, use fire...

[ASlipperyBannana]

loolol my house too

[keyanage]

i like this guys sculputeres very beautiful.
