Wind powered kinetic art

I couldn't catch the artist's name, but he is doing some amazing work harnessing the wind. His wind powered sculptures walk and move as if they were alive. I wonder if his methods of energy transfer would be applicable to electric generation. --tom



Sorry this got past yesterday. It is the same as youtube video and just being supposedly wind driven does not make it germane to FL.

Look carefully right before the end credits on that last boxish sculpture.

I looks like a few human feet in there.  I've seen his stuff before

and I know it goes without human intervention, so maybe somebody is

helping this one along.  It's hard to see though..

boB, you are right. I saw a set of feet also. Looked like he was pushing pretty hard too
