Adam, Theo must have taught you to pronounce "Strandbeest" the way you did at 0:40. Sounded very Dutch! Goed gedaan!!

This actually shows the sheer stellar ingenuity of Theo’s creations. I remember living opposite his workshop in Delft at the time (we’re talking 1995 here) and I was already mesmerised. He would load up his old battered Volvo with pvc pipes, rope and tape and take off to the beach to put yet another miracle together. His tenacity took him really way farther in the years after that. Recognition by Adam, and his realisation that these things are really very meticulously grown (because that’s what it is) are a true testament to Theo’s visionary craftsmanship and artistry.

Built one wooden Strandbeest for school project, so many measurements I wanted to cry. Adam is really great on problem-solving, if I ever mess up any geometry in any one of the legs I would probably quit, but boy did he use that strap!

I have the pleasure of having this 'beest in the middle of my workspace, The Kinetic Museum in Eureka, California. I have gotten to demonstrate it at least once a week for the last 3 years. Thanks Adam ☺️👍

I never thought we'd see it!

Oh my gosh, I just went over to watch Theo Jansen’s “evolution” video. Just so beautiful and amazing to watch. Thank you so so much for sharing this video, without it I would perhaps not have ever seen those amazing machines walking on the beach. I was astounded by all the different designs and the visual effect created by his long wavy centipede-like creations. Again, thank you for sharing this video with me, much appreciated. 🙂🐿

This is amazing. I know it's not the truest form of Strandbeest (Theo's beests being wind-powered PVC constructs), but it's amazing in its own rights. I feel that making them out of sturdier material such as steel would help create more complex mechanisms (implementing steering or shifting gears somehow would be nice). To stick with Theo's idea of self-sufficient constructs, I would like to see one day a solar-wind hybrid or a purely solar-powered strandbeest.

SO MANY good engineering lessons in one video. This is why I'm subscribed

uhm, hoi

I would like to shout out to the elderly man at 8:12. I am almost sure he has been doing some sort of metal fabrication/mechanical engineering since his early to mid twenties. He has well earned his salt, and yet, Adam Savage, who is one of my role models, has stolen his spotlight. All props given to Adam and his achievements, but even more props to this nameless gentleman who lives his life in humble servitude.

Thank you SO much Adam! I've been a prop builder for forty some odd years. Although, admittedly, with nothing even close to your resources or skills. Most of my career has been Opera, with whatever I could friggin find with no budget. Watching you on these "one day" builds has reminded me of why I spent so many years defending my need for the dining room table, and why the patio doors really had to be open despite the 40 degree temperatures. This one, for some reason, captures my OCD "brilliant idea that needs to be achieved!" Thing as well!

I'm so happy we had the exact same idea when we first saw the strandbeest. Also, great Dutch pronunciation!

I think this may be my favourite one-day-build ever. Great work Adam, and also great work by the camera and editing team. A joy to watch.

Thank You Adam for once again showing that persistence is the key to achieving a goal. Your innovation and experimentation shows the rest of us that we need to continue to learn, grow, and apply the lessons to be successful. Skip

I just love the way how you say strandbeest. It is very authentic and respectfull towards the dutch language. Thank you for that.

17:35 a perfect example of how sometimes its a good idea to listen to someone who has a theory. I understand why he wanted to do it alone, but when youre stuck for 2 days while in public, its a good time yo take advice i feel.

Wow! Great video Adam! It’s amazing to see people achieve their dreams and have this much fun. And it’s also hilarious to watch your inner kid come out while you build such amazing things! I’m loving these videos keep going bye!

I love watching tested, Adam is a hero. I wanted to work in film and special effects as a kid. That never quite happened, but working in event production provides problem solving puzzles to keep me busy and I love it. Adam, I don't know if you ever see these comments especially on an older video, but if you're ever in Cleveland we've got a great science center right on the lake next door to the rock hall wink wink, nudge nudge.

I remember back when the strandbeest was first invented or popularized back in the mid 2000's I had replicated one out of k'nex it was fascinating to be able to build with such a modular building material and watch as so much of the geometry of the structure was COMPLETELY important to the movement. change one thing and the entire machine would behave completely different.

That was beautiful : D I'd love to see you do another one of these to see it evolve and grow.

I love strandbeests! That was a great build Adam!

You are a serious inspiration Adam! Thank you, and the rest of the Tested crew, for providing us with this pure form om real entertainment. Keep making videos with that mesmerising enthusiasm, and I will eagerly wait for your next project!

I love his enthusiasm! His obvious love for what he does and how things are made to work. Beautiful mind!

Measure twice cut once, only works if you have the right measurements!

Cory Sennett His first mistake was "wanting to do all the problem solving by himself." No matter how smart or ingenious you are, a single mind is never as good as multiple. If he didn't have that mindset, he might had finished a day earlier with a machine that actually worked instead of a day later with one that didn't. I love Adam, but he needs to realize that other people have good idea too.

You could use a wheelchair for the seat so you don't have to fight friction in the tiny wheels and if you use a small sprocket on the pedals with a large sprocket on the shaft it should make this thing walk effortlessly
