Amazing Kinetic Sculptures!

Hello Everyone,

Truly mesmerizing and nothing short of engineering excellence ... kinetic sculpting is not entirely a new art form...but it is becoming more popular... probably one of my favourites because it makes me so happy

have a windy experience! (feel free to add more videos)

how it happens (the forces and pivot points that matter)?

some practical uses of kinetic sculpting-->

VAWT's (vertical axis wind turbines) are the new designs that will be replacing the traditional propeller wind turbines...they are architecturally beautiful and prevent over-spin which is dangerous in traditional propeller turbines.

VAWT’s harness multidirectional and quickly changing winds much better than traditional turbines.... propeller turbines have to turn into the wind.

awesome:p

amazing cross wind landings

It is amazing to see these landings, at least I am sure, I have never saw such.

My cousin, who is rookie pilot, taught me the pilot lingo....they call it 'crabbing' when they land like that along the runway (because of the crosswind) ... he said its tricky because you have to straighten the plane out on the runway before the nose gear touches the ashphalt...and the window to perform this is only a couple of seconds (and it gets narrower if the winds are stronger)...if not done properly you risk crashing or more commonly damaging the landing gear.


..those were EXTREME landings...i bet the people sitting in the first class windows could probably see the far side of the runway!...and the pilots were yelling YEEEHAAW! at the top of their lungs as they approached...it's seems like a tricky approach. I just thought it was awesome and it shows how beautiful of a kinetic sculpture the aeroplane can be (provided your viewing from outside and not stuck in cramped smelly cabin on the inside...with pitiful airline food and crying babies)

aeroplanes are amazing kinetic sculptures!

c h e e r s PK70!

So your Cousin does that, it must need special skills I doubt all pilots can handle it. The way it lands itself is amazing, I saw it repeatedly. Real good one kinetic sculptures. Thanks for posting, you made my day, believe me.

this is totally useless but I SOOO WANT ONE! :p

just another example of innovative kinetic art;

it goes down as an amazing "kinetic sculpture" in my book...the most amazing sea worthy vessel.

with those jet turbines flying you across the water you can get away from those pesky pirates
