Theo Jansen's Prototype

BRIEF:
The main aim of this project is to materialize mathematical solutions to make them visible to the human eye. Here resides its atractiveness.

Furthermore, not only equilibrium between functionality and aesthetics is seeked, but also collation of design, manufacturing and testing processes. All of theese processes happens simultaneously, to troubleshoot and redesign quickly and efficiently.


In spite of assembling successfully the model, it didn't work neither move. It was due to the big amount of torque needed, which we couldn't produce enough from wind. However, we reverse-engineered some existing models to fix it and come up with a solution.
