Elenco Rhinoceros Mini-Beest Kit - Manual (Page 15)

The compressed air in the PET bottles expand
the wings.
Jansen checks the wings' expansion function.
Wings
Wings flutter in the
wind and feed air into
the stomach of the
beest. The wing
material is custom
made UV proof plastic
sheets. It is important
to protect the wings
from deterioration by
UV rays since the
beest belongs in the
outdoors.
The walking sticks
act like ski poles.
A stick pushes
against the
ground and the
reaction force
pushes the body
back up. The
sticks help the
feet to minimize
the friction.
Combined with the
other parts, the
sticks make the beest
walk back, forth, and
diagonally.
There are valves on the PET bottles. The bottle keeps
collecting the air until the valve opens.
Walking Stick
The stomachs are separated into two groups.
One group is located at the center of the body,
the other group is at the hind side. There are 94
bottles altogether.
