Amazing. I just had to go check how it is powered and that is even cooler.

 

Self-propelling beach animals like Animaris Percipiere have a stomach . This consists of recycled plastic bottles containing air that can be pumped up to a high pressure by the wind. This is done using a variety of bicycle pump, needless to say of plastic tubing. Several of these little pumps are driven by wings up at the front of the animal that flap in the breeze. It takes a few hours, but then the bottles are full. They contain a supply of potential wind. Take off the cap and the wind will emerge from the bottle at high speed. The trick is to get that untamed wind under control and use it to move the animal.

I thought for sure the pedestrian in blue would have offered to help park it for her. ;)

 

She actually wasn't too far off in a few attempts, her primary problem was not turning the wheel sharply enough and not getting close enough to the car on the one side, or the curb on the other. And of course, not following through after the initial turn to straighten out. teehee.gif
