This is not like a dragonfly. a dragonfly is like a hlicopter abel to fly in all 3 dimentions. this is more like a giant butterfly only able to fly in 2 dimentions. but it is cool.
@Anden1990 ...a line like from A to B is 1 dimention ..// a square surface for example A to B to C to D and back to A, but also a triangle A-B-C-A..that is 2 dimentions...// and a cube or a pyramide ,a sphere,a bar or a tube or cone those have 3 dimentions....there is more to it but this schould give you an idea of howe it works...so everything that flies is moving in a 3 dimetional environment....
Ok, I've watched and watched this video. The four wings are done by two spars, but how are they connected to the fuselage? I just need the name of the part. Could anybody clue me in?
@nopudding4you pause around 1:11. the wing mechanism is really simple, you can make one by splitting a bamboo skewer and putting a hole through the middle of them and mount them like an x
Similar to Entomopter and ancient in concept by original mathematicians and inventors of early civilized man. Similar to some of the earliest attempts at aircraft also before modern helicopters. Similar to some of the original patents of helicopter. Super good demonstrator model by the young Asian enthusiasts. Ornithoputer? Its a mono- Entomopter like a mono-plane. Entomopter is more like a biplane but its a bi-winged-thoputer.
Just based on how it looks when it is flying - it does seem that it only has forward momentum, but the tail sags lower so that it aims slightly upward which also gives it lift. As you see from the video it is definitely higher as it flies longer, but doesn't seem that controllable. Very beautiful and fragile looking.
it is very nice...but I see no means for positive air displacement. as with all ornithopters, the action of the wings are producing contradicting forces in both directions, incapable of lift. it is essentially a flapping glider, whereas the flapping only provides a forward momentum
@physiist777 it looks to me that the "wings" or "flaps" when pushed together squeeze the air and force it torwards the rear of the aircraft, creating forward thrust. thats why they only have a rigid stick thing at the front of the wing, so the rest is free to let air flow out of it. thats just my observation its hard to explain.
Madness is right. It works the same way a split prop on a pedaling kayak works or like the way a penguin's flippers work in both up and down motions. Not very many flying things have wings that only provide pure lift. Usually forward momentum is translated into lift by the wing, which normally creates a difference in air pressure above and below the wing.
to physiist777, you'r likely thinking air plain, where you should be thinking bird. the wings provide both thrust and lift, although the lift is not as efficient as a fixed wing. notes how it hits the wall above the level of the bball hoop "10 ft", a glider would not gain hight like that.
i was gonna build an ornithopter and i saw a bunch of ones that couldent fly so i was about to not do it but i clicked on one last vid and this amazing one inspired me THANKS.
Yes, the Japanese often change foreign words slightly to fit in with how their language works. In this case, they add that U because in the Japanese language they never have a "P" followed by a "T". Unlike may other languages, they break up language into syllables, not individual sounds. Japanese ABC looks like this : A, I, U, E, O, KA, KI, KU, KE, KO, SA, SHI, SU, SE, SO and so on...
Thats cool!!! This is one of my favorite!You used the staggerred crank, right? I made also using the staggered crank but but i dont know what is the problem, they dont flap symmetrically.. will u pls help me define tha correct measurements. thanks!
i want to build one of these. can you tell me what material you used for the body, and explain about the acuator/lipo battery. are they just for the rudder? or do they control the wings. can you tell me what controls the wings if not that? please!!!
anyone know where i can find more information on this type ornithopter?
