Check out this video of the walking wishbone. Look closely and you will notice that he mechanical energy is transferred directly to the wishbone and it is pulling the entire machine along. The rear wheels are not powered. A very cool invention.
Its one of the many exhibits in the science museums in and around Boston. I've been to Boston many times, but never realized how many different science museums were around. They even have science resturants!! It should be no surprise really, since they have some of the best colleges and universities in the whole country.
Take a look at some slides of some of the best museums in Beantown.
(BTW the Walking Wishbone Machine could make for a pretty cool honors by contract idea!)
