New wind turbine mimics the hummingbird

Hummingbirds flap their wings about 80 times per second. They are also able to hover by flapping their wings in a figure-eight pattern. The tiny bird's design makes it one of nature's most efficient and agile flyers. Tyer Wind, a company based in Tunisa, has looked to this unique design to redesign how we harvest wind energy. The project aims to develop a revolutionary new wind convertor based on a deep and different observation of nature.
