The Strandbeests are made from electrical conduit and cable ties - very low tech. The "legs" are constructed from 11 segments in a particular ratio worked out by Theo Jansen to give a walking ability. You used to be able to buy a plastic model of a Strandbeest with small windmill to power it. There is a website on Strandbeests - STRANDBEEST.
