    'The advantage of this tank is also that it's something light, easy to take apart and put in your backpack.' - Panamarenko

    Panamarenko produced a series of designs beginning in 1984 at his workshop at the Furka Pass in the Swiss Alps. He designed not only his K2 hover car and several pastille motors and flying rucksacks there, but also a tank with caterpillar
    tracks, in which to negotiate mountains, rocks and other rough terrain comfortably. The installation was shown for the first time at the Furka Pass itself and consists, apart from the tank, of a table with tools and a pastille motor.
