Series 1: 6. Hummingbird
Andy Torbet is on a mission to match the hovering skills of the hummingbird. Flapping their wings 80 times per second, these are the only birds in the world able to hover in one spot, using this to help them extract nectar from flowers with their long beaks. Andy begins his quest by testing gadgets that can extend the reach of his arms, to become his version of the hummingbird's beak. Part of the test has them strapped to a rally car - cue the wheel spins and donuts. Next, Andy heads to San Jose in the USA for the once in a lifetime chance to try out a hovering, human-carrying drone. Then his final stop is San Diego, to try out a gadget which lifts humans into the air using the propulsion power of water. Can Andy learn to ride it and finally mimic a hummingbird, or will he get into a real flap?
