Spirals: Growth and Efficiency in Space

Maple seed spinning descent inspires PowerCone retrofit for wind turbine blades, increasing energy capture by 10-13%.

• ✿Inspired by: Maple seed (Acer) autorotation; Barn owl (Tyto alba) silent flight feathers
• ⚡︎Function: Maple seeds must descend slowly enough to disperse far, despite being dense objects. They overcome high settling velocity through rotatio...
