Overview
Supercapacitors are electronic components that can store thousands of times more electricity than conventional capacitors. Utilizing this characteristic, I created a simple device that charges by momentarily contacting a power source and then flies. The connected motor rotates the propeller to ascend, and when the power runs out, it slowly descends. The appearance of this repeated cycle of flight and charging is like a primitive organism whose sole purpose is to fly.
