Create a miniature walking machine (youtube: kinetic sculpture, Theo Jansen (not me :P)) able to complete 10 full steps, without the use of electronics.
Materials:
- anything that isn't powered by electricity eg. motor.
-rubber bands
-water
-wind etc.
-balsa wood
-polystyrene etc.
Method:
My first ideas were based around Theo Jansen's work, using joints and pivots to mimic human walking. This worked to some extent, but i found minor flaws in it, so decided to move away from that idea and go back to the basic movement; and aerofoil.
I decided to incorporate a simpler aerofoil into the mechanism, a triangle, to transfer that motion to the feet.
