Oh, I agree. I love innovative and beautiful design as much as anyone, believe me. And yet I am an engineer at heart, and when I see something like this, questions spring to mind, such as "what is making it move" and "how does it control its buoyancy", amongst others.
The greatest triumphs are a meeting of minds between good engineering and beautiful, functional design. This is a lot of the latter and not a lot of the former. Still, I appreciate the story and hope it inspires those capable of the former to think about how it could be made to work.
