Caterpillar

[@jaxnean2663]

Art meets science meets engineering. You sir are a genius.

[@OscarLazzarino]

That caterpillar looks so happy running free :D

[@いぬとかねことか]

incredible, as always the caterpillar's movements look so fluid...

[@ingejustavanderhelm5208]

Thank you dear Mr. Jansen for creating the most wonderful moments in my life watching your Strandbeest... makes me feel alive & in awe of life. Dank u ♡

[@MakersMuse]

I love how it was so eager to go and just shot off down the beach! Very beautiful movement from this mechanism.

[@archaicamusement3871]

3:10 when the caterpillar start to walk an this music sounds, is pure freedom. 😍. Simply amazing

[@OscarLazzarino]

That's a happy caterpillar.

[@lorenzobiondi5727]

Such a clean use of elementary physics, the Strandbeests really express the idea of playing with those concepts, and this makes them so mesmerizing and 'alive' to watch

[@jaidenlang4991]

Somebody needs to make a movie about this guy!

[@L00PdeL00P]

You’re a genius dude. Your Strandbeests are incredibly well engineered.

[@dudelookatree]

The way a wave moves forward on the top and backward on the bottom is so wonderful

[@barbudania]

You have no idea how many times I watched the other caterpillar videos trying to figure it out how it works. Such a simple and beautiful explanation!

[@hammo6641]

Wow! I have been an admirer for many years and this is an amazing achievement, much respect to you Theo, I wish you all the best!

[@kurtf3734]

i love coming back to this channel time to time to check out more of your awesome work

[@1Kent]

I asked if they serve a purpose yet. Now I realize, yes! They make people happy! What better purpose could there be.

[@asdf456ghj]

Thanks for great masterpieces

[@pmag3200]

If there is reincarnation... Theo was Leonardo da Vinci in a past life

[@NRCarrillo]

What a beautiful Strandbeest... the way it almost gallops and glides over the top of the sand is mesmerizing. Does this caterpillar mean that the next evolution of the Strandbeest will be a butterfly?! 😊 A beautiful video, and I love your work!

[@cyborglion4179]

Can you imagine a flying strandbeest. Gives me chills just to imagine how beautiful that would be.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I somehow think that would be to easy for him to make. THere is hardly any movement or motoric required to make, it would basically be kite. BUt lovely idea!

[@animationspace8550]

That is exactly what happened! A flying strandbeest!

[@axjagfilms]

@@cyborglion4179 hehehehehe boi

[@zurichsee706]

@@axjagfilms they are conceived to survive, not to be beautiful....

[@Blockistium]

lol the way it lies on the ground like a tired lion

[@Mermaider]

Welcome back Theo!

[@najah1039]

These are so gorgeous! I love them. You should expand out. Maybe make them in miniatures for the home as decor or mechanical to carry/dispense car keys, pens, bar soap etc. It would be nice to see it else where by you. They would make cool large props for plays but in the home would be great. I would love you to do that too but these vids are so joyous, beautiful moving things!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

There are many people which made altercations of his models. He has posted all the magic numbers on his site. There is a video of him showing all kinds of different versions

[@RomboutVersluijs]

This video shows a couple mini versions and all kinds of alterations. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIjFhmabi5mNprM

[@ShawnWang]

The music is perfect....

[@malgorzatabbl1110]

Jestem pod wrażeniem konstrukcji, piękne i bajeczne znowu będę czekać na kolejne.

[@anne-francoiselemaitre6512]

Vos créations sont si touchantes que quand elles tombent on est un peu triste. Vous êtes un génie.

[@daanwilmer]

I never imagined I would see a caterpillar gallop, yet here I am. With the leg system, it works because of the ratios between the parts being what they are ­- the eleven holy numbers, as you call them. Can such ratios also be found in the caterpillar, or are the dimensions not as strict?

[@muizzsiddique]

I've never seen such a thing before. It's amazing!

[@william4661]

I love this. I can't believe this video only has 400 views.

[@fweichsi2552]

Foda! 🙂

[@z4zuse]

Beautiful. Have you tried to get close up shots using a drone?

[@philipgibson9296]

@theo_jansen Although these are mechanical pieces of art, do you feel a sense of paternal joy when you see a creation moving (or coming to life if you like) for the first time?

[@jacobchan677]

your masterpiece deeply touched me.thank u sir.

[@ArchCaster]

someday a young engineer is gonna be inspired by this and invent something out of this concept

[@dave_pro]

Big Hugs from BCN Theo!

[@omidparsia8365]

Really impressive.

[@안준호-o4v]

wow its very scientific! i am Korean middle school student. I have many curiosity about your machine ,could i email with you?

[@wendy5256]

Heard about your work via the Last Oasis copywrite issue, tragic you've been robbed but im so happy to find your work

[@josuad6890]

idk, it seems like last oasis is a free advertisement for his work. artists would want their work to be widely known and appreciated right? But still, copying the concept without permission is no good, so I hope that mr. jansen and donkey crew can settle this out, maybe with a reasonable royalty or something.

[@azerd1535]

You inspire me

[@user-maisamba]

pure art sir !

[@THOMASTHESAILOR]

There's something elegant in symmetrical motion.... I'd like to know what materials are they made of.. It looks like plastic bamboo..

[@janswildlife9163]

Brilliant!

[@lynd4050]

Wow, this is fascinating 👏

[@fernando3061]

I love humanity but imagining an empty world populated only by strandbeests roaming is a cool concept.

[@v037_]

Fernardo stai zitooooo

[@SavageMontreal]

Is it possible to make something like this with a seat that can move while supporting the weight of a person? I'd like to see someone ride one of these Strandbeests.

[@creptheftshorts]

Incredible!

[@humphrey7079]

You should make a rideable version lol

[@ZsomborZsombibi]

[@duckdonald6654]

[@rogerjoesbury9410]

Wow it would be great to make them.

[@laikaimall]

I love your Strandbeests. Did you ever try to make it out of bamboo instead of plastic?

[@Zoza15]

Bamboo is heavy.. These plastic tubes are lighter and cheaper..

[@sam-zy2dn]

masterpiece talent!

[@noyza2132]

is there a way to calculate the shape of the wave based on the lengths of the legs and their distance?

[@tbone6396]

The caterpillars will take over!

Amazing work! So many questions? Do you have a website or a way to contact you?

[@wisewomen1276]

So genius

[@Shattatzol]

Wow

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I somehow thought that this movement would waste a lot of energy and then a lot of force is needed to get the motion going.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Its almost sad when that last one falls over :(

[@jeanbernier]

Simplement génial !!!

[@김도윤-c8p6m]

Wow..........hmm......so Amazing

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I heard the numbers where on the site, but i cant seem to find the info. It snot on strandbeest.com?

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I did just found a wikipage with those numbers; en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansen%27s_linkage Still i saw a couple videos where its was mentioned they are on the strandbeest website

[@rogerjoesbury9410]

Very very interesting but I cannot start the subtitle s for the hard of hearing, than you.
