- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ธ.ค. 2024
- This One Day Build is a special one: Adam assembles a pedal-powered Strandbeest of his own design as an Artist in Residence at the Exploratorium science museum in San Francisco. The outdoor build was open for public view, and Adam has to test and problem-solve the build on site with a mobile workshop deployed from his Land Cruiser!
Thanks to the Exploratorium for hosting Adam's build! www.explorator...

Adam got to SEE one of Theo Jansen's full-sized Strandbeests in person in 2016! Watch the video here: th-cam.com/video/U02qqB-2nbs/w-d-xo.html
Good job Adam 👍
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.
You got to witness the magic in it's infancy. That's incredible.
Adams one day builds are by far my most favourite thing on TH-cam
not just on youtube.
if you watch the people visiting his building site over course of these 3 days you can see they just genuinely love that dud. he's just a great guy
As a simple dutchman; I see strandbeest, I watch and like.
As a fellow Dutchie ..... I'm flabbergasted by Adam's almost flawless pronunciation of Theo and Strandbeest.... it is a sign of the utmost respect to learn to pronounce someone's name correctly .. tip of the hat to Adam, dude! awesome!
so he ruined performance and video just to add some shoes
@@remko2 its good, bit definitely not perfect
Guten morgen!!
@@charlesbrant8522 Not ruined. It just made it funny rather than majestic instead. It wasn’t going to be a masterpiece anyway, so might as well have fun with it by giving it his own spin. That’s why he did it. To have fun. Leave majestic to the original artist.
This just gave me a whole lot of respect for the original strandbeests as well as Adam's problem solving capabilities. That 3.5" adjustment was beautifully executed!
I love one day builds.
ziploc53 but this is a three-day build.
Tedious Totoro Three times the pleasure!
Tedious Totoro Well that's okay because I love 3 day build too
I love when they install bathtubs in strandbeests.
This difference between this build and those painful, sponsored truck builds is night and day. You can't fake genuine enthusiasm.
love how the spectatores all watch right into the welding :D
irgendwieanders1 fact after 30 feet welding ark does not damage your eyes. still bright tho
Oh here come the saftey trolls~
jeremiah4248 they were definitely closer than 30 feet
Hahah yeah out come the safety salamanders, they should put a big welding screen over the sun too in case anyone looks at that. Brutal build to do on site!
who will save the children
Measure twice, cut once. I'm amazed with Adam. Anytime I have to do a tedious project and I mess up on something small but overwhelmingly difficult to pinpoint and repair, I start over from scratch.
Wish I could have been there Adam, this is the kind of stuff I love doing! Even the endless hours of problem solving that comes with each project. You're an inspiration to us all, so keep on doing what you love!
1 day build, 2 days fixing.
and 3 additional days of regret
Can you do it
Sounds like programming.
with more planification and briefing he could do it in just two days
That's why it is amazing to watch him. Also imagine him working on a movie how it may be.
7:12 - 7:24 Lovely moment here, the music, the winter sunlight coming off the steel as it moves.
Such an awesome build. The shoes were kind of unnecessary but the strendbeest being caught on a shoelace was funny.
I smelled that cooking as soon as he described it as a "teenage tie"
SO MANY good engineering lessons in one video. This is why I'm subscribed
Your LandCruiser is beautiful, can you do a video on it?
Yes please!
one thing i realized about it, its a right hand drive
*correct hand drive
the right way to drive
(pun intended)
Tyrone Ross it might be from the FJ company
"I was very specific that I wanted to do the problem solving on my own." The blight of engineering.
In programming it's called NIH syndrome for Not Invented Here. Sure, maybe there's another library or software already out there that does close to what you want... but that's not quite the same as writing it yourself, exactly how you want. It can be dangerous too, sometimes it's best to save time and use what other people have already built.
“The blight of engineering.” …and the mother of invention! 😃
@@generaldirection5123 every computer program that doesn't use standard API's and dialog boxes provided by the operating system, and some of the worst offenders of that come from Apple and Microsoft who should be using what their own OS provides.
@@generaldirection5123 Welp thanks for the enlightenment maybe it's time for me to stop wasting time making my own libraries argh
Please PLEASE do a video on Adam's "mobile workshop"!! Mobility is essential and so hard to get right.
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 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.
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 ☺️👍
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.
I never thought we'd see it!
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.
well that was anti-climactic. it seemed to work A LOT better without the shoes
I just love the way how you say strandbeest. It is very authentic and respectfull towards the dutch language. Thank you for that.
I'm so happy we had the exact same idea when we first saw the strandbeest. Also, great Dutch pronunciation!
Our Dutch hero!
IKR
derbi senda NEDERLAANNDDDDD
Bas Daalder DRENNNTHHEEEE
derbi senda Zekers!
uhm, hoi
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!
That was beautiful : D I'd love to see you do another one of these to see it evolve and grow.
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.
I love strandbeests! That was a great build Adam!
This is why I love Adam Savage, after all these set back he pushes through, working the problem and comes out successful.
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!
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!
Measure twice cut once, only works if you have the right measurements!
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
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.
Thankyou Adam for showing us you are amazing and you are human.
converse fans do NOT watch this video....
A lot of shoes were harmed in the making of this video.
Yes

I've worn worse damaged chucks
i know the feeling
I wish I had half the smarts of Adam, I may then accomplish something. He truly is an inspiration.
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.
The alternative in this case being to entertain the constant advice of dozens of random passersby, which would have been a recipe for absolute disaster. He clearly had assistance, he just didn't want loads of armchair engineers adding their two cents all day.
Andrew Delashaw But he's building for the sake of creation, the problem solving is probably what makes it fun for him. This is like a whimsical engineering art piece more than anything else.
Andrew Delashaw Yea I agree. But one has to be able to accept input from others too. For example when I am building something I can't standing people's input. I don't know why. It's not to be mean. It's just my project I don't want criticism or changes or something I don't know.
Yea it'd be a different story if he was building something that involved the safety of others or something. Adam did eventually figure out the problem that the other guy noticed, so it's not like he completely ignored him.
Yes strandbeesten Finally something from my home country and you pronounced it pretty well
dat wou ik net zeggen
I simply can't see Jamie building something like this. It's overly complex, a billion things can go wrong, it's inefficient... but it's utterly fascinating and the fact that Adam is tackling something like this really shows how smart and determined he is. Something like this is right up his alley: Showy, lots of moving parts, intricate designs, he can spend hours talking about every step, etc.
I was there. It was so cool
You Were there? Now i Wish i didn't live on the other side of the world
Stewie Griffin I was on my vacation and happened to go there that day. I'm glad I did
he couldn't even get it to work. all alterations he made to the original design seem to have made it worse. Don't see anything impressive besides what the original already had in aestetics
I was as well! Such a neat event :)
Failure is always an option ;)
While I was watching this I was telling myself that when my kid (still in mommy's womb) grows up I'll make him watch all of Adam's shows. I'm not sure in 10 years time whether or not there will be another person as inspiring, creative, persistent, and unique as Adam is. I wish I had learned from Adam when I was a kid.
Is it called a one day build because, one day, it will be built? :)
Damn, if I go by this definition, I have sooooooooo many One Day Builds....
hahaha nice
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.
I like how you pronounce strandbeest.
it was as close to perfect as anyone can do.
anyone not native to netherlands or germany :P
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Bierrr Strahnd baest
@@CookingWithCows
German here(2020), sounds Dutch to me.
I can literally watch Adam build anything for hours. It's so mesmerizing.
yeah, the shoes were an issue haha
I love all the support you guys were getting. Best of all though was how many kids I saw. Very encouraging!
Anyone notice Adam's badass Fj40 4x4?
there is an episode of Tested where he talk talks at length about it.
Th12teen Link?

1BigBen Thanks
and the kiwi on the back?
Nothing is better in a one-day build than watching Adam screw up, problem-solve, and then learn. And love those slo-mo working shots! Props yet again to Joey.
Cool! I remember first time seeing this contraption thinking how cool it would be to put bedals on it.
I love his enthusiasm! His obvious love for what he does and how things are made to work. Beautiful mind!
why put the shoes on at the end.
thinking it was a sponsor.
Ends question with a period lol
I love these one day builds with Adam. They show you the human side of things, that things can and WILL go wrong, even the masters do mistakes but everything is fixable. everyone make mistakes
I would love to have the backing to make what ever I want when I want. LOL
I love the passion and happy spirit in which Adam works.
Never give up, never surrender!
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down!
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say good-bye!
I freaking love the Exploratorium. I remember going there when I was little, in its first location near an art museum, and it was awesome.
Awesome!.. And I miss Mythbusters show :(
At least it went out in style )
I like Adams perseverance and enthusiasm, that's why Adam Savage is Adam Savage
Grinder with no shield? ooow, OSHA got some splain' to do.
It's the only way to fit the damn thing anywhere half the time lol.
I never take it off and I use it almost daily at work. In all kinds of awkward places.. If it doesn't fit.. then you use some other technique. Saw or flame cutting..
taking the shield off of a new tool is the very first thing we do at our shop.
lol people put shields on grinders
Zephyroz Don't worry, got my mom on speed dial too.
Failure is not only an option... It is literally how we learn. Cool build!
Him saying: 'strandbeest' is the best thing i've heard today
Oh, man. To see it the first time in action, priceless. Now you're making one of your own with pedal power? I can't imagine the limitless possibilities
If I could pick any person on the planet to have a beer with, Adam would be my first choice.
Half way through this video my 7 year old son runs to grab his notebook and is currently writing up his design for "our next build" . Love you Adam and Tested, keep inspiring all of us!
The Jamie approved red Converse might of been a bad idea
Being a great craftsman isn't about not making mistakes, it's about being able to fix your mistakes. Kudos to you Adam!
Wooo, never thought I'd hear Adam speak a bit of dutch :D And on that note, pretty damn good pronunciation... now back to watching the vid (always love these one day builds)
Mars Sonnemans when did he spoke dutch?
'Strandbeest' is a Dutch word ...
It literally means either 'beach animal' or 'beach monster'
i would say rather" beach beast "than animal or monster.
It is no "strand dier" of" strand monster"
ron d yeah it would be beach beast
He does have an honorary doctor's degree from a dutch university (Universiteit Twente).
My son and I saw this displayed on our vacation. Yours and Theo's exhibits were an inspiration
Adam rocking his Cidney cosplay.
like the channel itself is great but adams persona and charisma just makes it that more amazing
The shoelaces at the end...oh Adam, you're sometimes your very own Nostradamus...
Adam that was amazing. You are one of my most favorite people in the world. Keep up the great things that you do and thanks for sharing them.
Really digging Adam's Cidney cosplay from FFXV
Man Adam's just a straight savage.
awesome!
IT surely is Jake, IT surely is
You here too?! I was just watching your videos, Man :D
thanks for watching!
William Jakespeare hey it's Jake!
I'm all about the mesmerizing wonder that I feel when I'm mind blown by the relationship of the mechanisms in a system that for me has a beauty that transcends mere aesthetics.
how did you do all the calculations for this, its very impressive and i would like to make one of my own but perhaps a bit smaller, keep up the good work adam
or did you just mimic the pre-existing ones
he copied the existing ones.
Badly... is how he did.
I love how Adam really puts effort in pronouncing it right :)
Adam has said he's 12 year-old Adam's fucking hero. Dude, you're 25 year-old me's fucking hero.
Adam is my childhoods version of a cool grown up. Now he's just an amazing human being.
Adam, you need to bring this on your tour with Michael Stevens!
if god give me a wish i would ask to LIVE adam's life style....I cant get enough of the awesome works he does everyday life...
Do u put your hand over the welder to stop the gas from blowing or to stop the flash
Yeah outdoors flux core is better than gas.
@Paul Frederick given it's a wind situation yes.
Cobraa
being a generalist Adam knows about a lot of things. But he doesn't have a lot of in depth knowledge about a lot of things too. A real welder would never MIG weld outdoors.
Paul Frederick I didn't refer to Adam specifically. You wouldn't stick weld sheet metal on a car if it's outdoors right? you'd use a MIG
Cobraa
I might. I can SMAW down to some pretty thin gauge metal. I'd rather use a MAG too.
from one Savage to another .This is so cool. well done Adam and crew
16:43 He should've screamed, "IT'S ALIVE!!!!"
Adam I don't know how I missed this episode. Not only do I love strandbeests and this build amazing but I never knew you had that land cruiser. What a beaut! 😍
A lower gearing on the pedal system would probably help
Amazing, most impressive build.
Its impressive that Adam managed to build it in a matter of three days!
that girl in the cowboy hat stays there a long time. Thats dedication!
I could look at Adam's Plans all day they are so beautifully drawn I'd love to buy a poster of it
Pronounced strandbeest very nicely
I would looooooooove to see Adam's Notebook !
Woah, is this all filmed on iphones? you can see one on a bigass tripod
I know one thing for certain, the existence of these things make this world cooler.
"oh god, it's not working THANK YOU AND GOOD NIGHT!"
When you got it moving, I couldn't help but have a giant smile.
