Solar Impulse

Solar Impulse is a European long-range solar-powered plane project currently being undertaken at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The project is promoted by Bertrand Piccard, who piloted the first balloon to circle the world non-stop^. This project hopes to repeat that feat using only solar power. The first aircraft, officially named HB-SIA, is a one-seater, capable of taking off under its own power, and intended to remain airborne up to 36 hours^. Building on the experience of this prototype, a slightly larger follow-on design (HB-SIB) is planned to make circumnavigation of the globe in 20–25 days ( extracted from wikipedia)

Artist Theo jansen demonstrates the amazingly lifelike kinetic sculptures he builds from plastic tubes and lemonade bottles. His creatures are designed to move - and even survive - on the beach and on their own.
The wall between art and engineering only exists in our minds.
