Kinetic sculpture
(6) | 14/07/2011 | Translate: The "kinetic sculptures" by Dutch artist Theo Jansen doing walking alone on the beach drawing energy from the wind. "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds," declared the Jansen, whose purpose is to create "new life forms" from pipes, bottles and PVC sheets.

Impressive sculpture in a pencil Artist Mahesh Shiva carves a pencil, in such a way as to create a chain.- Construction of a PVC hydraulic jack Vang Hà from Vietnam builds a homemade jack, basically using PVC pipes as raw material.
- Duet with xylophone and pipes The Royal Marines Band of England in a fun duet with xylophone and an improvised instrument with PVC pipes. Excerpt from the Mountbatten Festival held in 2019 at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
- Could you light a little with your flashlight; This is the Imalent MS18 flashlight which has a brightness of 100.000 lumens, and is known as the brightest flashlight in the world. It can keep the brightness of 100.000 lumens for a minute, and then reduces its brightness to 22.000 lumens. At full power it uses 720 watts of energy and this generates large amounts of heat. It is equipped with copper cooling pipes and fans that help it remove this heat from inside.
- Saxophone from PVC pipes A talented man from Baltimore in the United States, made an improvised saxophone from PVC pipes.
- Painting with psychedelic effects Artist Claudia Bueno uses 60 glass panels to achieve this psychedelic art style with light.
- Sculpture on pencil tips Russian artist Salavat Fidai creates beautiful miniature sculptures on pencil tips.
- Installation of a wind turbine at sea The EOWDC (European Offshore Wind Energy Center), also known as Aberdeen Bay Wind Farm, is a test facility for offshore wind energy. It is located about 3 miles off the east coast of Aberdeenshire in Scotland. Compared to land, there are higher wind speeds at sea, therefore the production of electricity from offshore wind farm is higher.
- The Swedes are planning a sailing cargo ship This is Oceanbird. A cargo ship, designed by the Swedish company Wallenius Marine to reduce CO2 emissions related to maritime transport, and sails thanks to wind energy. Thanks to the five large telescopic wings of the height of 80 meters that will be equipped with algorithms for the exploitation of the wind, the ship 200 meters long and 40 meters wide will be able to navigate at a speed of ten knots (that is, 18 km / h). According to Wallenius Marine, with 7.000 cargo cars, the ship will take 12 days to cross the Atlantic. The ship is expected to be built in 2024.
- Sculpture on potatoes An artist sculpts a bull on sweet potatoes.
- Soapbottle: bottle of liquid soap made of soap An original way to avoid using plastic for liquid soap, shampoos and shower gels. Once the liquid soap is used up, the container can be used as a classic soap. This product is the result of student design from the University of the Arts in Berlin.
- The wind creates a funny scene The door of a pool enclosure has the goodness to open, to let a beach ball pass out. A funny coincidence created by the wind and recorded by a security camera.
- The larger gear array in the world This is perhaps the greatest speed splitter gear you've ever seen. It takes more energy than is observed in the universe, that the last gear to make a full rotation. A creation by artist Daniel De Bruin, inspired by the "Machine with Concrete" of Arthur Ganson. The Daniel De Bruin constructed this camera to demonstrate the vast size of the number googol (googol). In Math, a googol is a natural integer which corresponds to 10 ^ 100 (i.e., one followed by one hundred zeros). A number greater than the amount of people present in the known universe. This mechanism has a bearing assembly, with each gave rotational reduction ratio 1/10. Since there are 100 gears in the mechanism, the first should be rotated 10 ^ 100 times so that it can make a complete rotation. This would require more energy than is available in the observed universe theory (10 ^ 70 joules) - assuming that a full rotation of the first wheel requires 1 Joule.
- Coins with traps and hidden mechanisms The artist Roman Booteen from Russia uses coins to create complex works of art. The carves by hand by placing tiny hidden mechanisms.
- Little life in still life A still-life painting to life and progresses, in a work of art by artist Duane Keizer.
