Theo Jansen’s Animaris Rhinoceros Transport.

Theo makes amazing wind-powered sculptures.

The Animaris Rhinoceros Transport is a type of animal with a steel skeleton and a polyester skin. It looks as if there is a thick layer of sand coating the animal. It weighes 2. tons, but can be set into motion by one person. It stands 4.70 meters tall. Because of its height it catches enough wind to start moving.

Neat stuff from the NeatoShop:

[...] This site is kind of hard to explain. It contains pictures and videos of a bunch of wind-powered animals that a guy named Theo Jansen created. They’re not real animals; they’re pieces of plastic tubing linked together to form moving parts and joints. And when they’re placed in a windy area like the beach, they move on their own. One of the creatures is called the Animaris Rhinoceros Transport, which is a giant 15 foot tall, 2 ton creature that moves when pulled by a person or other moving object. Really weird but amazing stuff. (via Neatorama) Thu, 02 Feb 2006 @ 18:20:54 in Tech/Links | Wow Leave a comment Name: [...]
