Title: Ornithopter or robot? Post by: iamahuman on October 08, 2010, 09:35:41 AM Guys,I have been reading the plans of the freebird ornithopter and I just thought that I could make a robot(got the idea from Prateek's thread.Thanks prateek :)) instead for a science fair at school.The ornithopter looks complex.The robots seem quite easy.And,I've got majority of the stuff to make the robot apart form the switches.For the ornithopter,I've got nothing.
I am not sure on what I should make.Please advise. Here are the links Robot http://www.instructables.com/id/Balancing-Robot/ Ornithopter http://www.ornithopter.org/birdflight/freebird.shtml Title: Re: Ornithopter or robot?

Title: Re: Ornithopter or robot? Post by: KALYANPRODHAN on October 21, 2010, 11:01:16 PM I also thought for a few days to make tiny ornithopter.
For your information, I use readily available materials. Balsa replacement for tiny model, I will use Ice Cream wooden piece for wing cross hinge and rotor axle frame (Fuselage). Carrybag for wing. PushRod - Ball point pen Refill part or wood with wire (Gems Clip part / 1000 watt unburnt heater coil /tin from Mosquito coil support). My thought only for next project. Thanks. |
