Anyone else see this on CBS Sunday Morning?

Watched a couple videos on them on youtube a couple years ago. Never really appreciated the complexity of them till watching that segment. Great find!:thumbup:

Thanks for that link- I could only imagine the amount of hours went into those! Love how they are wind powered!:thumbup:

I've made some of those out of knex before. They weren't wind powered though.

Great video, very inspiring. Thanks for sharing that with us, does any one know if he has taken these to burning man or was that some else?

My undergrad deg. Is in fine arts with a concentration in sculpture, and from a family of artsy people,... These creations are truly awesome,... I thought this vid was REALLY awesome.

I've shared it with a bunch of folks.

FYI when I went to the art museum earlier this month they had working models/ kits of a couple of these, could not quite bring myself to drop the c. $100 on it. May go back.
