The Solar Ornithopter flaps its wings using solar energy, flying gracefully with eco-friendly, light-activated propulsion. It requires no power supply, making it easy to display anywhere, and its quiet pendulum mechanism is perfect for serene spaces.

The 'enn' model, which waves its tail wings in fish-like motion, is based on a circular shape with soft curves.

  • The product requires simple assembly and balance adjustments by the customer.
  • The wings start to flap at the illumination intensity of about 300 Lux.
  • It will begin to turn at about 500 Lux.
  • Since it is driven by low power, it may not rotate due to slight wind or static electricity. If this is the case, you might wish to try another location.

Riley ★★★★★

Watched it catch the morning light on my desk and the wings actually start flapping on their own, no cord or batteries anywhere. The motion is smooth and quiet enough that I forget it's even running while I work.

Adam L. ★★★★★

Set it on my windowsill and it started flapping within seconds of catching the sun, no batteries or cords anywhere. The motion is gentle enough that I catch myself watching it instead of my phone.

Claire P. ★★★★★

The wings really do flap on their own once sunlight hits them, which I didn't fully believe until I set it on my desk by the window. No cords or batteries to deal with, so I've been moving it around the house wherever the light is best.
