The idea of a automobile that takes no fuel is something of a dream, or is it?
Theo Jansen is a man who may be answering that problem as we read. He hasn't announced that his creations will used for driving or using to travel, that is my own view on his creations. His creation that you have probably have come to read about are things called kinetic creatures, kinetic meaning that it moves on its on force some what like a solar car. Kinetic creatures use wind power rather than solar. Most of these creatures are made of a light form of wood or rope. These creatures come with a select set of abilities that will keep them surviving in the wild (Most of their habitats are beaches) for example they will nail them selves to the ground in a wind storm, they have feelers to detect objects that are in front of them. On another note he names the creatures what I think is Latin. To my understanding he makes these things as animal-like as possible, most of them walking in some sort of crab like way. These creatures (to my understanding) come in all sizes so they could possibly be made as little tiny pets or giant pets for that matter. I hope to see more about this in the future, make sure to check out the TED talk about it.
