Theo Jansen creates new creatures

Now this is what ideas are made of, meet Theo Jansen, born 1948 in Scheveningen, Netherlands a Painter, Inventor and creator. He has created a new breed of creatures who walk and move around on their own with sheer wind power. He plans to put them on the beach so that they can live on their own. It is interesting to see that he has developed a linkage which is a great inventions after the invention of wheel. The best part is these creatures do not need any other form of energy they just need wind. Also most interesting fact of all is that they avoid themselves from getting drowned or swept away during a storm. I am just inspired of what can be achieved through great ideas... have a good read.
