See the 4Tet prototype that they actually built. All of the electronics can be housed in the end bulbs. The batteries could be in the center of each tube, limited to the shortest length. Cameras today are only the size of a fingernail, or even smaller. It's not nearly as "impossible" and you think it is. You just don't have enough imagination.

I saw the 4 point one, which rose ocncerns, this design shown here is much better and much more plausable. I assume that the motions here have been sped up 100X or so.

Soon this will be a science fair project

mixerman3d: This is not imagination. This is enineering. Real prototypes already exist.

[mixerman3d]

if someone can prove that this can even be made i may give it consideration. as of now it's just a 3d concept that is purely imagination with no real engineering concept

Looks like it is not technically possible to have moving parts like such...
