Most of this video didn't show much of interest to me BUT just for about 6 seconds at around 6.00 into this video below, it shows a strange walking contraption that appears to be made of bamboo and is powered by the wind to slowly and gently walk along a beech.
What the hell is it?
Can anyone give me the name of this thing? Does it even HAVE a name!? If not, any suggestions on what we should call it?
Can you give any weblinks explaining what it is?
I want to know more about it.
@phil-a-dork saidThanks! 🙂
I was right 🤗
Google "Theo Jansen wind powered sculptures"
Wiki says he is a Dutch artist. And each sculpture already has a name.
There are 4 YouTube videos that show up.
I did that and here is one such video;

Perhaps we can just call them 'Jansen machines'.
@humy
Yeah, saw these creations a couple years ago.
So the wind just pushes, I was thinking there was something mechanical going on with wind turned into propulsion but it is simpler than that. The museum piece shows a couple of them just being pushed by humans so the wind just pushes on the whole assembly.
