    They should incorporate something like this for Mars Rovers. The main problem with most Rovers is they have to be solar paneled and they get stuck in the mud sometimes. Obviously there's a lot of thought that goes into mars rovers and the robot would still benefit from wheels, but if engineers needs the robot to go 50 km in one direction on a flat plain, one of these beasts could do it a lot faster with a lot less energy.

    the beach is the best place to show these things, because the beach is this boundary between the infinite ocean (the void) and the place of our origin. the ocean and the beach are homogenous so the alien creature, stands out as this very uncanny creation, like at 2:20.
    The fact this thing is powered only by wind shows how free energy is. Energy is all around us if we understand, and tune ourselves to the environment and the natural world. We come from the void but the void is not empty as scientists tends to claim, it is alive...it contains the infinite potential for all forms.

      My grandfather was the father civil aviation. He built the first aircraft for sale to the public. Aeronca aircraft was his baby. They could fly at 25 miles an hour with a very small single cylinder engine. It was the first aircraft to be refuelled in-flight by a speeding Packard on a racetrack in California. They pulled the gas can up with a cane and the pilot poured it the tank. I wish I had your intelligence and Outlook. Good luck God bless you with a very long life.
