Videos

This page is under construction. We are working on adding many more videos (in particular, our aircraft footage).

Here's a video of JADE's original Impulse, flying at Davenport, California:

Here is a video of the ICON flying wing, maximizing a very small yard:

Here is a video of the stock ICON flying on a windy day. Loops, rolls,

extended inverted flight, low and slow fly-bys and an inverted landing!

ICON, stock build on a windy day, 1 from Jarel Design on Vimeo.

Another video of the stock built ICON (the one that landed inverted!)

flying a little faster in a very small field, loops, rolls as well as slow flight.

Here are  some of our kinetic and public installation work. Although these are art pieces, many of you will be able to see where we incorporate aerodynamics and mechanical engineering.

Dream Cycles, Kinetic Sculpture

Dream Cycles kinetic sculpture. Public installation at entrance to ScienceWorks museum in Ashland, Oregon. Two wind driven kinetic sculptures designed to invite children to view their world differently by incorporating visually familiar items: bicycle parts! Click on image to view video.

Salmon Flight, Kinetic Sculpture

Salmon Flight kinetic sculpture. Public art installation, downtown civic center in Medford Oregon. Three independently moving fully articulated salmon move independently of moving "river" frame. Bearings include stainless steel and Delrin to withstand harsh conditions. The salmon prototypes were tested to 55mph. Video depicts movement in light breeze. Click image to view video

Copernicus, Kinetic Sculpture

Copernicus, kinetic sculpture. 64 Separate pieces of hand cut copper, combined into double vertical axis, 360 degree rotating pendulums mounted on a 360 degree hroizonal base. A hidden device on each vertical pendulum captures the wind starting the vertical movement, randomly generating 360 degree rotation. When the sails move 180 degrees, the center of air pressure causes the entire sculpture to rotate 360 degrees horizontally, again randomly changing the center of pressure.

Trickle, Kinetic Water Feature

"Trickle" kinetic water feature/sculpture. Designed to explore a large amount of random movement using only 60 watts of power and a small amount of water. Click on image to view video.
