Ornithopter

I am thinking of moving this dev log to my new website.

I ask in the slack if I could move the dev logs to my website I made for the project. so I may be just putting links to them here. aka I think I am going a little crazy whille I wait for funding apps to reopen anyway here are some photos of what I may added to the website.

Hello Been awhile. What I have done.

• Made a website
• Added more detail to the model
• Still waiting on funding

Here a cool video of it

Website is called https://www.governmentcrow.net/

Hello Yall, maybe I should lock in to what I am making give some more
detail of how this project is going to work out.
So I am trying to make a ornithopter what it does is it flap its wing to
generate life ( aka a mechinal bird) The Goal of the project: to build a
lightweight ornithopter capable of stable powered flight using a simple
flapping mechanism.

The project will be set up in phases.
Phase 1
This is the prototyping phase of the wing movement mechanism. I will be
designing a body that takes the rotating motion from a motor to move the
wings up and down. I will be looking for reliability, strength, and
efficiency.
Phase 2
Here I will be designing the wing. I need to make it lightweight. I will
also be testing it with the gear mechanism and measuring how much lift
it produces so I can determine my design constraints for the tail.
Phase 3 – Adding the Tail and Other Electronics
This is where I will be adding the tail and electronics together. I will
also be doing some early test flights if all goes to plan. My goal is
to have a clean mechanical system. The tail will look like an airplane
tail, as I am currently just focusing on the flapping mechanism.
Phase 4
This phase is for debugging and testing. I want to aim for reliability
and simplicity, and I will be conducting my own test flights as well.

Current Progress (Phase 1)
I am currently in Phase 1 and have decided to use a crankshaft based
mechanism for wing motion.I am using this simulation tool to help
calculate and visualize the wing
path:https://www.desmos.com/calculator/iuprdl6sxkMy motor has a KV
rating of 1700, and I will need a gear reduction of approximately
21.24:1. This may change during testing, but for now I am satisfied with
the I have just submitted my project for funding so I am hoping it will
go though.

– Changes I’ve Made.
So I change how the space sits as it look a little to week and it was
interfering with the flapping motion

So I’ve Finish my design and I would be ready to move to the protyping phase. from the last design i have change the movment mech so that I have a clean path to follow. I also made a bom list of all of the parts.

Hello, this is my Ornithopter project. I am just working on a mechanism to move the wings up and down. This will let me test to see if I have the flapping motion correct. The next thing I need to do is print it out and do a test with it to see if my measurements are right.In Onshape right now, I need to get the ratio proper so I can have a clean up-and-down movement.The next thing I need to do is prototype with a 3D printer.
