Could you IMAGINE THIS THING coming at you on the street!! Haha! definitely some kind of steampunky horror film in the making, but designer Theo Jansen has such a ridiculous grasp of motion and physics that I had to share the video that elaborates on this technology...

Check out his concept video!

Yes terrifying, but as I'm sure you've noticed, the only thing powering the larger models is wind! Could you imagine if these were adapted to be eco-people movers!?

Just please don't mix them with AI. Thanks! 😅

What the... Looks like a Spider-bike and it definitely must be scary at nights, still, looks like the guy is making some effort so it might be useful to strengthen people's legs. Very curious hunt. Cheers!

haha i couldnt help but share something that looked so crazy! even if its not practical its the design that i think is important- iterations! talk about reinventing the wheel! @jonsnow1983

This is interesting @dayleeo. I wonder what motivates the owner/designer of this product. It seems to me that it is used for farming.

hmm thats an interesting concept @themanualbot !

Pros and Cons
Pros:
-This thing is so cool liking, awesomely designed
-good proof of mechanics

Cons:
-very low energy efficiency, i think it will be very hard to climb hills

hills may pose a problem. good point
@biuiam

Hhahaha...Why in the world would anyone want to buy such a bike? Beats Me. Its amazing how how far people are willing to stretch their creativity in the name of creativity. This would make a great interior decor center piece though :D

the age old question of form versus function! though the form is pretty scary- i think the wind powered applications in the larger vehicles are so damn cool- the bike im sure is the entrypoint haha @elsiekjay

Impressive Hunt, Your Hunt just got Verified!

Great hunt @dayleeo!

I'd like one just to record people's faces while I pass by with one of these.

P.S: Are we going to see people racing using these? That would be funny too.

yes youd definitely need to pair this one with a go pro @ady-was-here !

No one would really have imagined the inventions of this kind of bike and hats off to the creativity of the designer. It would catch the attentions of many people if you are riding this one on street, people might go crazy even, but for me this is an excellent design.

Thank you and Have a great day.

great hunt

This bike will give nightmares to the people ,such an excellent design it is .hope to see it soon on our streets.
