Mech-Jelly

My first offical blog post is based off the test postings we did in class. I posted a image of  jellyfish, and I remember seeing something about a Mechanical Jellyfish (video)...I found the article (here).



The article talks about a German company that specializes in industrial automation. The mechanical jellyfish they built was actually very simple, both in design & use of technology. The jellyfish is nothing more than a helium filled balloon with a small electric motor that connects to the eight tentacles. It even weighs less than two pounds!
Overall I liked reading the article, and learning more about the jellyfish. I really liked how simple it was, even though it can be used for many things from studying jellyfish to just looking at it move in the air~.

    That's cool, I never thought I would find jellyfishes so interesting. Technology is getting more interesting every second.
