The Dear Park Aqua Pod Rocket automaton

Check out this new hand-cranked automaton by Jim Kransberger located in Asheville, NC. The piece measures 16 inches high and incorporates some found objects like the crank from an old hand drill. When cranked the wheels turn, the driver's hair blows up and down, and the pusher's legs run.
