There is a diagram of Theo Jansen's eleven holy numbers but I can't find it does anyone know what the numbers are or know where the diagram is?

Answer 1

I do have a drawing in Theo Jansen's hand of the linkage and the 11 numbers. Its not in English but you can get the proper lengths from it. I need to rummage it up but when I do I will post here. Will try to be quick.

EDIT* Found it--email me: rtalley@iastate.edu EDIT2* [March 21, 2009]: Joe Klann of mechanicalspider.com has made a great comparison of his walking linkage to Theo Jansen's linkage and has made diagrams and comparisons of both on his website. He also posted both diagrams containing the 11 holy numbers which I provided for him there, because I can't post pictures here.

So, for the diagrams, go to: http://www.mechanicalspider.com/comparison.html and scroll past the comparison.

I hope all this helps and I hope people appreciate this fine art and science.
