Безумно, прекрасно и трогательно...
Есть такой замечательный человек - Тео Янсен. Живет он в голландии. С 1990 года он трудится над созданием новой формы жизни. Тео создал невероятное. Новое, необычное и потрясающее до глубины души. Это живые существа, наподобие оживших гигантских скелетов допотопных динозавров. У них есть крылышки и ножки...
Для создания каркаса Тео Янсен использует дешевые жёлтые пластиковые трубочки. У скульптуры есть "желудок" - пластиковые бутылки, наполненные воздухом. Вступая во взаимодействие с ветром, скульптуры начинают ходить. Им не нужна пища, как животным, им не нужно солнце, как растениям, им не нужна вода. Это новая совершенная форма жизни. Их принцип движения надежней,чем устройство колеса. Как знать, может быть, когда человечество вымрет, по земле будут ходить эти причудливые создания. Во всяком случае, именно, к этому стремится их автор...

"Since 1990 I have been occupied creating new forms of life.

Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they dont have to eat.

Over time, these skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storms and water and eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.
Legs prove to be more efficient on sand than wheels. Wheels have to work their way through the sand and shift relatively more of it as a result. Try pulling a cart through loose sand and it's hard work. The advantage of wheels, however, is that they don't lurch; their axle is at a constant height, which saves energy. But the legs of the strandbeest have this same advantage; they don't lurch either. The upper and lower leg parts move relative to one another in such a way that the hip joint (at the juncture with the upper leg) remains at a constant height, just as with the axle of a wheel. But they don't have the wheel's disadvantages; they don't need to touch every inch of the ground along the way, as a wheel has to. Legs can leave out patches of ground by stepping over them. Which is why you can better have legs than wheels on sandy ground.
Self-propelling beach animals like Animaris Percipiere have a stomach . This consists of recycled plastic bottles containing air that can be pumped up to a high pressure by the wind. This is done using a variety of bicycle pump, needless to say of plastic tubing. Several of these little pumps are driven by wings up at the front of the animal that flap in the breeze. It takes a few hours, but then the bottles are full. They contain a supply of potential wind. Take off the cap and the wind will emerge from the bottle at high speed. The trick is to get that untamed wind under control and use it to move the animal. For this, muscles are required. Beach animals have pushing muscles which get longer when told to do so. These consist of a tube containing another that is able to move in and out. There is a rubber ring on the end of the inner tube so that this acts as a piston. When the air runs from the bottles through a small pipe in the tube it pushes the piston outwards and the muscle lengthens. The beach animal's muscle can best be likened to a bone that gets longer. Muscles can open taps to activate other muscles that open other taps, and so on. This creates control centres that can be compared to brains".
