Fabuleux! Thanks for the link. I'm sure I read some comments after it's first showing which implied some people thought it was a real horse and was cruel - how did they make it run on water?! :crazy: :lol: I guess it was cleverly switched to a real live grey/white horse afterwards, but, still! :roll:

The ingenuity of the engineering from the Nantes workshop was extraordinary.
It was a brilliant spectacle on the night.

After this example of le génie français may I ask your attention for perhaps lowtech but complex engineering, an artist in action. Wildlife in The Netherlands, on the beach.




Also availabe in a simplified version: engine one manpower.
