An indoor, RC flying jellyfish.
They claim (and, to be certain,
I can't find any proof to the contrary) that this is the first airborne use of peristaltic motion as a drive mechanism.
Surprise, surprise...air really IS a fluid.
Hi all,
I'm at home alone at the moment, wife away looking after grandchild while my son disports himself in Cyprus on holiday.
I'm having to survive on my own cooking, leaves a lot to desire. Your peristaltic drive has me wondering if I can personally produce the flotation gas and peristaltic force. Not for indoor flying I guess.
