Walking Mechanism

Hello Engineers,
This post is about a Walking Mechanism made by Theo jansen, a kinematic sculptor. Theo has used his creativity and bridgred the gap between art and engineering through his imagination and has successfully created a walking mechanism propelled by wind using materials like pvc pipes, plastic bottles etc. The mechanism is a brilliant one.
