Strandbeest

Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist who creates what he calls 'Kinetic Sculptures,' where nature and technology meet. Essentially these sculptures are robots powered by the wind only.

The robots are made from plastic yellow tubes. One of his most famous kinetic sculptures is 'Strandbeest,' which means Beach Animal.
