Adam got to SEE one of Theo Jansen's full-sized Strandbeests in person in 2016! Watch the video here: ua-cam.com/video/U02qqB-2nbs/v-deo.html
Wonder if you could power something like that with a tea candle. (the fan would be at the top instead, like on a christmas pyramid)
"I would love to meet him someday". And now Adam has! :D
my name is Adam so I feel like I'm eating by Extinction
+Adamkaban Kaban autocorrect
Oh god, you autocorrected the Dodo bird out of existence! D:
3+ years later..
Adam finally met Theo Jansen
Yup :)
and a little longer later Adam builds a full sized pedal powered beest
Cuz he felt like it
Cameron Chilcoat he did already
Alamda A. Balqhin Um. Not at the time this video was recorded and uploaded. The OP's original comment was in reference to the fact that it was 3 years after THIS video that he finally met the man who made the real ones.
Strandbeests are seriously someof the most awesome things I've ever seen. They move so smoothly, and completely on their own. I especially like how Theo just made his own leg system, and invented air-pressure powered sensors, just to make his strandbeests work perfectly. I really love such incredible creativity and genius.
I didn't even know the existence of strandbeest. Thank you Adam Savage these are incredible
Had no idea he knew about these thats cool
I think it's about time that Adam builds one of these in full size :)
+HerrStein Theo Jansen did it already!
+Eric Avila of course he fuckin' did, he invented the things
+Joe Fortescue exactly
he is check his instagram
I watched this for the first time a year ago and finally found the kit, in English, today!! Really fun build, especially if you enjoy the tedium of working with mechanical gadgets.
I live in the Netherlands. I met Theo Jansen, and attended one of his lectures about the strandbeesten. A friend and I were very inspirated by him so we bought his book and we build our own strandbeest out of pvc pipes. Just like Theo Jansen does. It took us about every weekend for 2 months to make it, but it works and walks all by itself.
I absolutely adore the camera work in this whole show. It's really amazing.
+Nightmare096 haha,
Sinister Scout
Rude.
He's sinister after all. And he's a scout.
But then I'm repeating myself.
'lego is never wrong'.... every single time i put together a set, there is always one piece 'missing' and i say to myself 'this time its missing for sure', and then bam, there it is, under a page in the manual or something like that. 20 years of playing with lego, and they have never been wrong.
+Shawn Pyke i just realized that. Yes they where never wrong. I had so many construction toys with issues. But Lego and "Märklin Metallbaukästen" where never wrong. I don't know if the later is known outside of Germany, but i know that copycat ones can be bought everywhere.
Too bad they stopped making the original ones :(
@@wupme Märklin is Chinese now. Sadly. The quality has declined ever since.
I have only ever had Lego fail me one time in my life. I had only 1 of 2 giant fin pieces in a set, and it was too large for me to have misplaced it. I checked everywhere around my building space for hours but nothing. I don't see how I could have misplaced such a giant part and not find it again
Well that concludes it! Lego is never wrong based on this person experience
Strandbeest sounds so funny when somebody who doesn't speak Dutch says it.
I actually saw a Strandbeest walking across the beach, its just amazing to see something like that walk.
MonsterEnergie Should it be pronounced as Strondbased? :)
Igor Arutiunian Uhm, they say Strand oke but beest is like based yeah. So kinda like Strandbased
Oh wow! I'm jealous because that would have been amazing!
MonsterEnergie Believe me, knowing the dutch pronunciation makes me just cringe every time someone east "beast" lol
I actually met Theo Jansen years ago (he had an open day at his workshop). He's a amazing visionary and a ingenious inventor/engineer.
You don't need to buy japanese e-bay kits, theo jansen sells his own kits now on his official website.
I love the Strandbeest, when they first started being built I was mesmerised and found the self-sustaining nature so captivating. Truly ingenious
My brothers childhood friend makes those large scale Stranbeests and he once found one on the beach. He went back to get a camera and he met the creator of that Strandbeest as well
I met Theo Jansen at IUPUI back in 2007. He brought and demonstrated the Strandbeest in the courtyard of our university. Great experience.
Thank you. Bless you for the introduction to srandbeest. Your vids make my life exciting again when I thought there was nothing left and I'd done what I wanted I found you and you took me back to a better time. There's more life. Thank you.
These kits are one of the best things about living in Japan. I love the subscription ones that are partial kits every month for larger projects. The amount of information they come with is incredible for a "model". Definitely worth learning how to read a little if you plan on getting these.
Great project. Tip for translating, Google translate can do on the fly visual translations. When I visited Korea, I could use my phone camera to view food menu items and washing machine settings. Sometimes translations we're too literal to understand, but it could be helpful. Keep up the great work.
i've seen the strandbeest in real life once, it's amazing how he got it to work, such a massive build in real life
The satisfaction that Adam gets from this, is the same I get from watching him work and talk about projects. I'm addicted to the one day builds.
Having Adam as a father would be awsome! He could help build realy cool school projects and you would get realy good scores XD
+Naj Kraemer Uncle would work great as well :). Sorry for 6 months late but I just agree with you so much.
I remember watching a documentation about this artist, and I remember how beautifully the artist combined art and science in order to make these beautiful pieces. I recommend that you look up his work it is really impressive.
I love the mix of art and science. When I first saw his work, I thought, OK, I quit, he said it all.
Adam Savage...you're my hero!!! Talk about fun hobbies...
No matter how many times I see those things walking around I am absolutely amazed over how organic it moves, and all by the power of the winds... Amazing! =D
Dear Adam,
If it worth doing, it is worth over doing. For the love of everything, build a large scale one!
How have I never seen those!!! Magical mechanics. 💖
They both waved at the same time, perfect timming!
Adam savage looks old, but he deep down is a 14 year old pokemon fan :D
I have one of the ones with the fan. Can be had for about $15 on ebay. I ordered another when I found out each six legged section is identical, with no right or left side. This means you can attach more to your original model, making it as long as you like. Although, this means the wind power will be less effective. But still, extra long strandbeest GO.
I love watching Adam work.
thank u adam & tested. because of this video i got the kit of the strandbeest u blew across the screen at the start of the video for $12 off of ebay. i had fun putting it together & its a thing of beauty!
strandbeest means "Beach Animal". They are really quite beautiful in motion
Rachel Magowan wouldn' it be beach beast
I would love to see MythBusters show put down a challenge for Adam Savage to make a larger scale version using PVC piping like Strandbeest one's but that could carry a person or Buster just to be safe.
I enjoy watching Adam tinkering with toys and other things that he maked. It's like watching a child get excited to open presents on Christmas morning.
Thanks so much for this tested. I went on ebay, bought and built one and had so much fun. The one thing I had issues with was the propeller/fin supports and the tape they had would not adhere very well. So much fun. My students were astounded and a few even bought their own models.
dutch art,, i love my country
Strand=Beach
Beest=Beast/Creature
And btw this model kit will cost you more to make than the real thing actually did :p
You are right.
its not about the material. its knowing how to put them together
You can buy the model kits at Aliexpress for €10 :)
I remember doing a seminar on these, they're absolutely amazing.
his passion is contagious
Really want to make a steam punk style version powered by a little stirling engine. That'd be sweet.
Somebody already made one in a sort of Segway style that you could ride around. There's video on UA-cam somewhere.
Adam should try a Gundam kit, perfect grade 700ish parts all in japanese
Why perfect grade tho give him a challenge make him build an rg
The movements of it are absolutely fascinating and it's just walking; lol. The mechanics behind it in explanation are so simple but yet the execution so complex. Love it. Would love to see a full sized one in person.
I saw one of the original large one's on an exibition in belgium few years ago. It's awesome to see how big they are
68 people had their families killed by strandbeest
Can't relax on the beach without those bastards stepping over me, kicking up sand. One even took my picnic basket!
+Anthony B and they took our jobs!
What are all those professionally trained strand jerks gonna do now?
Their jobs are in jeopardy. Should the switch to be ski jerks? That's not gonna work.
+djteac Tey terk er jerbs
+djteac we need to stop importing these and organically grow them in America!
That doesn't include the many hundreds more who've been captured and made to help create their little ones!
Not sure if this idea is any good, but it would be a cool project to build a display case for one of these so it could be on a shelf but still operate. I'm thinking a fan and a treadmill that are set to go at the right speed for the strandbeest - gearing it correctly would be the challenge in my mind. Possible 1-day build?
I would think as long as the 'feet' don't touch the shelf surface (supported a couple millimeters above it) with an installed fan, these things could walk forever. *until the fan is turned off anyway.
YES!!! I was in Chicago this spring and wandered into the Chicago Cultural Center (a hidden gem) and found an exhibit of Jansen's original Strandbeests! I even got to pull one across the floor...under supervision, of course. I'd seen videos of the Stranbeests before and was fascinated by them, but it was an entirely different - and overwhelming - experience to actually move with the genuine, Theo Jansen constructed Beests.
WOW!
I believe they're now on display in San Francisco's Exploratorium. If you can go see these Beests, DO IT!
I love Adam. He is so passionate about stuff and things. I like that about him
strandbeest does mean beachbeast,and. the original dessign also uses pet botlles,really cool,i have seen one up close and it was amazing (i'm from holland )
jij bent best wel dom he
het is een letterlijke vertaling
volgens mij ben jij zelf niet zo heel snugger,adam zegt toch "i think so",dus dat houd dan in dat hij t niet zeker weet,en omdat wij nederlanders makkelijker engels spreken,was mijn intentie om m duidelijkheid te geven,en JA ik weet dat t een letterlijke vertaling is,maar wat maakt jou beter dan ik ,om mij dom te noemen,ik geloof dat je eerst eens een lesje 'omgang met mensen 'moet volgen en dan kom je er achter dat je zelf ook niet erg slim bent,want ver weg achter een computer kan iedereen dapper wezen,totdat je iemand tegen komt die je shit niet pikt en je ip adres achterhaalt........
Leon Meertens precies
+Pieter Kuipers en waar zeg je 'precies' op,er zijn namelijk meerdere mogelijkheden ?
Knolling is like mise en place, except for model building instead of cooking.
I met Adam in San Francisco on Crissy Field where the strandbeest was being displayed by Theo Jansen. He took a picture with our youth group too! Coolest day ever.
More of videos with Adam, they're awesome!
I'm thinking you could flip the fan blades around so they're facing the opposite direction, and then it would walk in the same direction as the wind instead of walking against it.... you sure you didn't install those backwards?
That's what I was thinking!!
I think it's way more interesting that it walks against the wind, as it has to overcome the power of the wind. Maybe accidentally it's right in the spirit of us Dutch folks, as it's always kind of windy here, so there is a lot of walking and bicycling against the wind. I think this strandbeest tribute is perfect.
No dummkopf.
The artist himself sells the models on his website, where he gets the proceeds, not some company copying the work he has spend 2 centuries perfecting.
+andrineslife No one person has spent 2 centuries doing anything. No one has lived two centuries, I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
And yes, Theo Jansen does sell models of Strandbeests on his own website, but he didn't in 2013, when this video was made.
+Frozen Eagles Sorry. I did google century to make sure I knew how to spell it, I guess I didn't read the description ;-) I didn't mean to sound like I was criticising the video, it was just meant as information :-)
+andrineslife It's not a criticism of the video, it's a biological impossibility. A century is one hundred (100) years. 100 trips around the sun. You may have meant a decade, which is ten (10) years.
+Rogal Dorn I did mean a decade, as I said, I was stupid enough to google century (so I would know how to spell it) without actually reading the description :) But I'll hopefully remember the difference for quite a while ;)
Well thanks Tested! Just jumped on eBay a bought my self one, cant wait to build it.
I never knew what knolling was but after you described that is the exact thing I do when I build big legi sets
It's a shame that a model company like Revell or Round2 or Tamiya couldn't get a license to produce these for the US market. I think they would sell well.
I don't think so. Several projects failed in the US for requiring too much patience, skill and intelligence. De-boned food with safety labels is what the wild American wants.
This is when Google translate's camera comes along real nice.
Adam meeting Jansen. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN! Imagine the amazing things these brilliant minds could build if they combined their efforts?
Bought the same one, fun build, amazing to watch walking
stand = beach
beest = Beast
Beach Beast
And they don't walk on all beaches in the Neterlands only in certain places.
Strandbeest Exhibition
PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM SALEM MA
September 19, 2015 - January 3, 2016
+Joshua Homme I will be in MA soon! Thankyou for telling me.
Big fan of the one day builds, more please!
there is something about the way Adam presents things that is just always interesting..
Put the windmill on the other way so it walks away from the wind! blow it from behind..
I live in holand the hage and I have spoken to the guy who makes the big ones and there was a display in a energy plant right around the corner but I didn't go then cuse I didn't know what it did but now I know so next time I am gonna go
"holand"?
Guy who is too paranoid to use real name Holland = the netherlands
Wouterino Gaming I know. With one l.
I am getting so many ideas for my workshop from some of your content guys, keep it up.
I'd love to see Adam build a full size one of these!
It will not be complete until some Americans attach guns to it.
It's so weird that they make an effort to pronounce the word correctly, but then... don't pronounce it correctly.
It's okay to anglicise a word!
You don't have to try and speak dutch!
Just ordered mine, can't wait for it to arrive!
where to buy this item? any online stores?
Adam inspires me me to build. Thank you Adam. Lego building FTW
Why does he even bother calling it a strandbeast? say strandbeest or beachbeast don't mix up the languages
Strand= Beach
Beest= Beast
I get that beest is probably hard to pronounce for English people but I hope you know what I mean
Care to break down the pronounciation? Because that definitely looks like its pronounced the same as beast....
Thomas Feeley In dutch there is a bigger difference in the letter A and E
Ok.
He didn't mix up the languages... He explained that strandbeest means "beach beast" and then continued to call it strandbeest throughout the video. I don't know what you mean.
Ashkan Kiani I think he means we are saying 'beest' wrong.... but i dont know any other way to say it...
I could watch Adam Savage build with LEGO's in a heartbeat!!
watching the ball bearings adjust the balance is mesmerising.
thank you so much adam I am a aspiring prop designer and a huge mythbusters fan and these videos make the gap between reality and a impossible dream a little shorter!
The guy with the glasses used to be on TV!!! I saw him there many times! I am happy he is on this video site on my internent computer. I have internet and I see him not on TV!!! Wow!!
Thanks to you
love these kits too.
Wow, thanks for sharing this, they are pretty awesome!
I subbed when Adam built the box for his blaster and I have to say I've enjoyed a lot of content since then. This was another really awesome video and I really enjoyed it. I honestly wish it was longer, and though I like watching fabrication form square one much more then this, I still really liked this. I'd like to request more fabrication like the blaster box, but I know the time that goes into that. Great work, and I can't wait to see more.
Молодцы! Чудесное изобретение! Хорошо, что делают такие маленькие конструкторы,это очень поможет детям! Спасибо за видео! 🥇💫💖🕊
I have to say your one amazing man . Nobody is never too old to use and do with such brainpower that you do.
Marvel of mechanics and problem solving...great video
I like the strandbeasts too. Great minds think alike Adam.
I totally forgo the knolling whenever I build with LEGO. I don’t know what it is but I’ve always built from dumping the bags into piles, and the searching for pieces in the messy piles I’ve made just brings me back to my childhood. I keep it messy to keep building like a kid and I find the search fun plus it makes the build go slower.
I can't believe he is building this from a kit. He should be building the beach-sized models!
Awesome video. MORE PLEASEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Theo Jansen zijn werk, is pure inspiratie!
Those metal ball bearings inside the tube are an amazing idea for weight distribution!
These are amazing.
Adam, I love your work
I just built my kit! It's the classic 12 legged model. The legs work beautifully!
The turbine was _tight_ on the shaft. Had to clean out the hole with a drill bit to get it to spin freely. Other than that, it was super easy to construct!
Adam's kid sure have lot's of fun playing his stuff
Oh, the instructions are so Tamiya. Tamiya instructions are mesmerizing. I have followed way past the point I was supposed to stop and start making my battlewagon just because they felt right to go along with.
Just saw this video.
Had no idea these little kits were on ebay.
And now one is on it's way to my door! :D
Theo Jansen is some kind of genius. What a contraption!
I remember seeing that bipedal mechanism in another Japanese toy robot series called the CAM-08 and CAM-10. I own a pair of the small ones and they're pretty amazing designs, both in terms of cuteness size and coolness of the mechanism.
Cool build, I actually just built a strandbeest out of maple and walnut in my home shop. I built everything except the driveshaft which was made by small wonder toys.
My first goal was to get it walking, which I did in a video I posted on my channel.
Next step is to make it wind power in the spirit of Theo Jansens beests!
Thanks again for this cool video. I love seeing Jansens ideas getting more attention, a genius in his own right.
I built one of these, its amazing.
I like the way air fix and other model kits do the assembly pictures with the alphabetized sprue sheets and numbered parts. I usually leave the parts on the sprue until they are called for though
Gakken actually has the instructions available in English as PDFs on their website!! :D
Thank goodness too, because I never would have been able to put together their guitar kit without it.
