"How do they work?"
Space Age Decoration:
Using space age technology they flutter their wings as though they were perched on a flower or branch while basking in the sunlight. Our products are designed to replicate the look and size of the real butterflies, dragonflies, and moths.
Wire "Muscle" and Mars:
The muscle-like wire that powers the wing motion is made from a corrosion resistant nickel-titanium (NiTi) shape memory alloy (SMA) known as nitinol or flexinol that's so reliable it was used by NASA engineers on the surface of Mars for conducting the Material Adhesion Experiment (MAE) during the Pathfinder-Sojourner Mission which landed on July 4, 1997. The wire that allows the butterflies to move is used in new miniature robotics technology products worldwide (and solar systemwide).
Amazing Fact: The wire can lift thousands of times its own weight, as thin as a human hair, and has a breaking strength stronger than stainless steel.
Silent Calming Butterflies:
It only costs pennies a day to operate your electrical butterflies. They are completely silent providing a visually calming mood in your home and work atmosphere. The mechanical butterfly is completely safe and create no fire hazards. You can easily secure and display these lightweight sculptures virtually anywhere: on lamp shades, table tops, water fountains, computers, television sets, high above baby cribs, on headboards, cabinet tops, floral displays, mirrors, walls or basically anywhere you let your imagination go.
