🔧 Technology & Design
The entire turtle body works as a compact spring mechanism, storing kinetic energy directly inside the flexible printed structure. When you press down into the top indentation with your fingertip, the shell and specially designed spring legs deform and build up tension energy throughout the body.
As soon as you release the pressure, the stored energy is transferred instantly back through the legs, creating a rapid push against the ground that launches the turtle into the air. 🐢⚡
