High-Tech Productions  Aliform  Butterfly   FAQ's

• What makes them work?
  Aliforms Butterflies use a new technology called "Flexinol™ Muscle Wire" which contracts when a small current is applied and relaxes when the current is turned off.
• Can they be plugged in all the time?
  Yes. Flexinol™ uses a miniscule amount of electricity and can be safely plugged in all the time. For a novel effect, use a motion sensor to activate your butterfly when someone goes by.

  They come with their own ac adapter and hook up via a thin grey cord.
