Keukenhof! | Since I have the possiblity to expose things created by me in the Keukenhof I have been working like an idiot to manufacture a big statue out of polyester resin. Title "Dolphin trainer".

Schaduwproject! | THE WALKIN & SHADOW CASTING 3D-DOG! A 3D-dog is nothing special, most of the dogs are, but 3D and überrealistisch, then place, time and action should be incorparated in the scene. The action is clear, the dog walks (and cast a shadow) The place is shown by the tiles. The shape and size of the shadow shows the time if day and latitude and longitude are known
|
| The dog has been placed outside around 12 and his shadow has been drawn on a piece of plywood. Since it is the beginning of february and the latitude here is 52o, the shadows are long. Too long for my tiles that have dimension of 30cm x 30cm.
|
| If the shadow that needs to be cast on the right spot and has the right length then the altitude of the sun must be alfa=27º. That will be the case roughly the 26th of february. Until then the shadow casting dog-project is halted.

White good department! | This belongs to the garden gnomelikes. The latest model; " Hans Brinker demonstrates the simple gesture that brought him wealth and fame!" Derived from the well known children's book ;"Hans Brinker or the Silver Skates!"
|
The Intothewindwobble works!! | For the time being the latest mover. The LMP season starts That means making and painting a lot of garden gnome-likes De latest windwobble has on FILM on youtube a simple sail that will start resonating by wind. ( It is not a sail like a normal sail on which the wind exerts a continuous force) The rather strong movement by the resonance makes the Wobble wobble. The resulting speed is 0,03 km/h. Watch it and beware! In principle it is one thing! All parts rigidly connected! No rotating or loosely attached parts. Unique!

New! Out of the laboratory! This apparatus really moves! Film with explanation (dutch...)! It moves due to variation in temperature! The thing shrinks and expands and by the positioning of the sticks it moves forward! Gerrit van Bakel did it with his Tarim Machine ( I heard it did not move at all..)and undoubtedly others will have done it also; there is nothing new under the sun!
The other products on kabouter.com are machines that show sometimes some action, paintings that are two/thre dimensional and gnome-like statues,just click on the photos below. Click here if you want to know where the production plant of all these fascinating things is situated in Kerkstraat 57 in Strijen in the Netherlands. All first sunday of every month open from 10 pm until 5am. Or mail for anything else. Not anything...
