Thank you for your magical beests, Theo!

I love kvanb's Lego recreation of Theo Jansen's Rhinoceros Strandbeest mobile sculpture. Jansen even approved the model, and it was up on CUUSOO for

44k vertices, 2 materials at 8K, ground material at 2K Responsible for all aspects. After the Event crumbling infrastructures tried to adapt to a world devoid of animals. Agriculture bore the brunt of the impact. Wind pollinated plants are the only viable source of nutrients, but with no draft animals cultivating them was nearly impossible. It took the largest famine ever recorded to get academics, craftsmen and peasants to work together. After two long years the brightest minds in the empire came up with a design that could replace the humble work horse. Applying mathematics, windmill mechanics and woodworking created a farming tool that saved thousands of lifes.

My 123D Jansen Strandbeest Mechanism: So this is a Strandbeest mechanism, a mechanism invented by Theo Jansen, a Dutch artist. This kinetic sculpture moves when on a slope, or as in Theo Jansen's creations, harnessing the wind's energy. I designed this kinetic sculpture using the c…

Theo Janssen heeft zijn vizier, ondanks een voorspoedig herstel, nog steeds op volgend seizoen gericht.

“If you’re asking ‘why,’ you don’t get it.” So said [JP] when he told us about his strandbeest bicycle build. After all, who in their right mind would graft a co…

Theo Jansen's mechanism (strandbeest) allows to perform walking motion. The advantage is that the required power of the engine used in the mechanism.

Just a quick and simple 2 leg test of my strandbeest using the standard 11 measurements. All done in 3mm laser cut ply.

Here is my robot.The motors are "JA12-N20" 6V 100RPM (I suggest you use something a bit faster).The joints use 104 ball bearings reference 6

Ever since I can remember I have been intrigued with mechanical models that have gears. One of my first experiences with gears, that I remember, was of my cousin who had three Lego gears in sequence. I was fascinated by this simple gear chain where all three would turn together when one of them is…

After watchine a video  Adam Savage  linked to early this year, I became fascinated with  Theo Jansen 's  Strandbeests . And while my niec...

3D Printed Theo Jansen Strandbeest: Being convinced that 3D printing will eventually lead to an industrial revolution, I've tried to stay up to date with 3D printing and, as a Computer Science major, the CAD software used to create printable objects. Recently, the cost and quality of…

Now with stowed electronics, the Strandbeest adaption looks much better. Made from lasercut MDF 3mm, driven by two hacked servos, an Arduino Nano and a RC Re...

All the credit goes to Dutch artist Theo Jansen for building the marvelous wind powered walking kinetic sculptures called Strandbeests ( Be...

I modified the basic structure of Theo Jansen's mechanism in order to make a shape of human's leg.I added foot and Achilles, and modified hinge point of driv...
