I can't see the video, but then again, I'm not on FB so maybe it just doesn't show up for me?

Yes maybe, it is the work of Theo Jansen, a Dutch Sculptor.

OMG! That's pretty incredible. I like how it looks aesthetically too.

Yeah, I liked them a lot - I was amazed at how wonderful they are.

Those are absolutely fascinating! I always consider the creativity involved in conceiving such a construction!

These are exceedingly cool but... kinda creepy. I can imagine them becoming sentient and eating the guy.

I posted these some time ago over on WC and on my Tumblr blog. They are certainly worth another look.

When I first saw videos of those things years ago, I kept looking for their power source, not yet realizing that it was the WIND that was the source of power.
