Adam geeks out over a new Japanese model kit of a walking biped machine based on artist Theo Jansen's Strandbeest creations. In building the kit, Adam explains his organization skills and the challenge of deciphering building instructions in a language he can't read.

Adam got to SEE one of Theo Jansen's full-sized Strandbeests in person in 2016! Watch the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-U02qqB-2nbs.html

Wonder if you could power something like that with a tea candle. (the fan would be at the top instead, like on a christmas pyramid)

@maxhardy123 8 лет назад

@xMRxZEROx 7 лет назад

Alamda A. Balqhin Um. Not at the time this video was recorded and uploaded. The OP's original comment was in reference to the fact that it was 3 years after THIS video that he finally met the man who made the real ones.

Had no idea he knew about these thats cool

@joeytje50 10 лет назад

Strandbeests are seriously someof the most awesome things I've ever seen. They move so smoothly, and completely on their own. I especially like how Theo just made his own leg system, and invented air-pressure powered sensors, just to make his strandbeests work perfectly. I really love such incredible creativity and genius.

@paulineouwerling3508 9 лет назад

I live in the Netherlands. I met Theo Jansen, and attended one of his lectures about the strandbeesten. A friend and I were very inspirated by him so we bought his book and we build our own strandbeest out of pvc pipes. Just like Theo Jansen does. It took us about every weekend for 2 months to make it, but it works and walks all by itself.

These kits are one of the best things about living in Japan. I love the subscription ones that are partial kits every month for larger projects. The amount of information they come with is incredible for a "model". Definitely worth learning how to read a little if you plan on getting these.

@robu2358 2 года назад

Great project. Tip for translating, Google translate can do on the fly visual translations. When I visited Korea, I could use my phone camera to view food menu items and washing machine settings. Sometimes translations we're too literal to understand, but it could be helpful. Keep up the great work.

@WiZillaZard 10 лет назад

i've seen the strandbeest in real life once, it's amazing how he got it to work, such a massive build in real life

@alejandrocolindres5831 8 лет назад

I met Adam in San Francisco on Crissy Field where the strandbeest was being displayed by Theo Jansen. He took a picture with our youth group too! Coolest day ever.

@rachels1676 11 лет назад

I remember watching a documentation about this artist, and I remember how beautifully the artist combined art and science in order to make these beautiful pieces. I recommend that you look up his work it is really impressive.

'lego is never wrong'.... every single time i put together a set, there is always one piece 'missing' and i say to myself 'this time its missing for sure', and then bam, there it is, under a page in the manual or something like that. 20 years of playing with lego, and they have never been wrong.

@wupme 8 лет назад

+Shawn Pyke i just realized that. Yes they where never wrong. I had so many construction toys with issues. But Lego and "Märklin Metallbaukästen" where never wrong. I don't know if the later is known outside of Germany, but i know that copycat ones can be bought everywhere. Too bad they stopped making the original ones :(

I have only ever had Lego fail me one time in my life. I had only 1 of 2 giant fin pieces in a set, and it was too large for me to have misplaced it. I checked everywhere around my building space for hours but nothing. I don't see how I could have misplaced such a giant part and not find it again

YES!!! I was in Chicago this spring and wandered into the Chicago Cultural Center (a hidden gem) and found an exhibit of Jansen's original Strandbeests! I even got to pull one across the floor...under supervision, of course. I'd seen videos of the Stranbeests before and was fascinated by them, but it was an entirely different - and overwhelming - experience to actually move with the genuine, Theo Jansen constructed Beests. WOW! I believe they're now on display in San Francisco's Exploratorium. If you can go see these Beests, DO IT!

@Mistraker 10 лет назад

I have one of the ones with the fan. Can be had for about $15 on ebay. I ordered another when I found out each six legged section is identical, with no right or left side. This means you can attach more to your original model, making it as long as you like. Although, this means the wind power will be less effective. But still, extra long strandbeest GO.

The red the wind pushes it back the faster forward it moves That's kinda inspirational

@CaptainEmoney 8 лет назад

Not sure if this idea is any good, but it would be a cool project to build a display case for one of these so it could be on a shelf but still operate. I'm thinking a fan and a treadmill that are set to go at the right speed for the strandbeest - gearing it correctly would be the challenge in my mind. Possible 1-day build?

@MasterMayhem78 8 лет назад

I would think as long as the 'feet' don't touch the shelf surface (supported a couple millimeters above it) with an installed fan, these things could walk forever. *until the fan is turned off anyway.

@dummkompf 8 лет назад

I'm thinking you could flip the fan blades around so they're facing the opposite direction, and then it would walk in the same direction as the wind instead of walking against it.... you sure you didn't install those backwards?

@OJowii 7 лет назад

That's what I was thinking!!

@TheGroundedCoffee 5 лет назад

I think it's way more interesting that it walks against the wind, as it has to overcome the power of the wind. Maybe accidentally it's right in the spirit of us Dutch folks, as it's always kind of windy here, so there is a lot of walking and bicycling against the wind. I think this strandbeest tribute is perfect.

+andrineslife No one person has spent 2 centuries doing anything. No one has lived two centuries, I'm not sure what you're trying to say. And yes, Theo Jansen does sell models of Strandbeests on his own website, but he didn't in 2013, when this video was made.

@andrineslife 8 лет назад

+Frozen Eagles Sorry. I did google century to make sure I knew how to spell it, I guess I didn't read the description ;-) I didn't mean to sound like I was criticising the video, it was just meant as information :-)

@RegurgitatedNews 8 лет назад

+andrineslife It's not a criticism of the video, it's a biological impossibility. A century is one hundred (100) years. 100 trips around the sun. You may have meant a decade, which is ten (10) years.

@yeetymcyeet4760 5 лет назад

I totally forgo the knolling whenever I build with LEGO. I don’t know what it is but I’ve always built from dumping the bags into piles, and the searching for pieces in the messy piles I’ve made just brings me back to my childhood. I keep it messy to keep building like a kid and I find the search fun plus it makes the build go slower.

@zwz.zdenek 6 лет назад

I don't think so. Several projects failed in the US for requiring too much patience, skill and intelligence. De-boned food with safety labels is what the wild American wants.

@Mr.Rogers143 Год назад

Theo even says in a TED talk that he's created a simple "brain" which is basically a step counter for where the water is and where the beach is. There's a hose that is normally sucking in air and is located near the ground. When it gets close to the water as it's walking, it sucks in water. The resistance of the water in the suction triggers a valve to open or close, and causes the sculpture to reverse in the opposite direction to safety lol. Brilliant!

Cool build, I actually just built a strandbeest out of maple and walnut in my home shop. I built everything except the driveshaft which was made by small wonder toys. My first goal was to get it walking, which I did in a video I posted on my channel. Next step is to make it wind power in the spirit of Theo Jansens beests! Thanks again for this cool video. I love seeing Jansens ideas getting more attention, a genius in his own right.
