I read the article in reader mode so I didn't see the video. After I went back to check out the video I was surprised that the submerged paddle were going in a circle instead of a straight line.

How can they say they too many birds cause the later positions to be unstable if this is their model? Don't they just run out of circumference and so they can't really model so many birds because the paddles start to overlap?

I suppose the math models the higher number of birds but they didn't 3d print that math and put it in a fish tank.
