Colibri, a Graceful Wooden Kinetic Sculpture by Derek Hugger

Derek Hugger has designed a graceful wooden kinetic sculpture, called Colibri, that simulates the motion of a hummingbird in flight.

Colibri’s intricate mechanism contains approximately 400 parts and was created in about 700 hours being Derek’s most complex wooden kinetic project so far.

You can see more of Derek’s kinetic sculptures on his website; he also has a store where he sells detailed instructions of how to make them.
