Theo Jansens neuestes Strandbiest ist „Animaris Mulus“

Mit einer großen Neuerung hat Theo Jansen sein Opus „Animaris Mulus“ versehen. Er schreibt dazu: „This is the first time a caterpillar walked on the wind. The caterpillar walking system is very simple. Two lines keep a number of segments is together, so the shape of a wave appears. The big advantage of the caterpillar is that it doesn’t have any hinging parts. So no lubrication and no sand in the joints. It can also carry a lot of weight. In the coming generation it will carry the wind stomach (PET-bottles for wind storage) and a pumping wing. All my hope is on the MULUS.“
