  • What she MEANS is:

  • But will it Blend?

  • NOPE chuck testa!

  • Mini UAV

  • can I buy that bird as my pet?

  • @NineTailsDemonFox Yeah, thanks, I just was wondering, how this model can help them with this task. But I read it in the article: They used the design of the wings for generators. Which is not half as cool as buying those robot birds... ;)

  • @Stabacs There's tons of ways. Guy in Japan actually made re-chargeable batteries that run on water. No joke. Might still be able to find it here on youtube if whomever uploaded still has it up.

  • Harvest energy from water? How???

  • best ornithopter ever made and its autonomous also!

  • That's it. We're doomed.

    I, for one, welcome our new ornithopter overlords.

  • @tamrtaye Does it even matter? Seriously, if someone wants to spy on you, they already can.
