butterflies
We are using a store-bought flexinol creation to investigate the movement below. The movement of the butterfly depends on the natural tension of the material's curvature. This involves the thickness, coat, and resiliency of the material. We looked at card paper, thin plastic, and mylar, and found that mylar was the best imitator of the original butterfly's maximum movement.
