Where did you get the idea that this is "Japanese Engineering" ?
I will admit that the "Machines" look somewhat Japanese but, according to the mans name and the description he is Dutch and the beach is in Holland.
Thank goodness for strong sea breezes and smooth beaches.  ;)
I've seen this video in the past and still find it fascinating. Thanks for posting it.

Like Roger said,

The only Japanese thing is that you might want to use them for chopsticks.... ;D :D

Rapid Roger & Marcellarious,

Google Images for Japanese Wind Powered Beach

I just passed along an e-mail as I received it.  It appears that all 3 of us are partly right and partly wrong.  I apologize for the misunderstanding.  MY BAD !!

no bad Jerry, no bad at all!
Things like that happens to all of us :) 8)
and I really enjoyed that video.

here's some more about the artist:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theo_Jansen

looks like he is selling mini versions as an assembly kit.

And when I saw that I was thinking on all that great wooden machines I've seen and so: could there be a scroll project in this kind of engineering???
