How to Build Flex Ornithopter - Unique Simple Flapping Mechanism, Easy to Build DIY Project
Ғылым және технология
The FLEX Ornithopter is a unique design that uses flexible materials to imitate what is found in nature. This also makes it easier to build than other ornithopters. And it flies! It's a great STEM educational school science project. An ornithopter is a mechanical device that flies by flapping wings like a bird or insect. Give the Flex ornithopter a try!

Very impressive. I was looking for a simpler design for a middle school class project. We're gonna try it!
Jajajaja no me canso de verlo. Cuanto ingenio y sencillez 👏👏👏
really grateful you are explaining the progress
Love it was thinking you could do it a lil simpler and it’s all ready done
Every time facing one problem.hard to find that T.A.N super sport rubber band in our country 😅
Innovative thinking....Great job!!
Great tutorial many thanks
I've tried to build it so many times. It seems that my ornithopter's wing can not fight aerodynamic resistance. Anyway, the frequency of flapping wings is not high as flying and not long time. Could you tell me how to fix it.

There could be some cause of friction such as the wire is not straight or some glue got in, or the metal tube is not smooth across the end. Otherwise the crank can be too large, so the rubber band wouldn't have enough leverage to flap the wings.
Gracias , por su tiempo me encantó
Es superinteresante tu proyecto. Te felicito. Tengo la idea de replicarlo a escala superior, con materiales más aligerados.
From philippines done SUBSCRIBE 😊
Excellent working
Very different design nice.
So woderfull idea to inspiration from fly mussle types and also this make simple mechanism. Perfect🙌🙌👏👏
Is there any way to get a full part list, step by step instructions, and blue-prints on the website.
PDF please

Love it this video....
Good to see
Now it make sense how a Japanese guy make a small butterfly ornithopter. He use flex :)
Good video. Does the card stock "hinge" weaken and break? It seems the constant bending back and forth of any paper won't last very long.

It does wear out. Usually it peels off from the wood and you can glue it back on.
Nice work bro

Wao this amazing,i will try make one
Awesome..😁😁😁😁😁
Very nice explan
..Wow...A whole different wing mechanism with a single connecting rod...Fantastic! 👌🏼 ..What could be the closest substitute for balsa? 🤔

Hey please tell which glue you used .......
I've seen enough of these videos now to where I've felt that could comfortably build my own ornithopter. And I've done just that. However, whenever I try to wind the crank up, the wings just won't flap no matter how much I wind it up. Also, I've found that it's sooo difficult to keep the wire hook in place that's supposed to connect the rubber band to the other end. The more that I wind up the crank, the more that the rubber band will be begin to pull it off from its secure place. What is it that I'm doing wrong?

I would suggest a stiffer wire
Nice ♥️🙂
Để bảo quản cánh sử dụng bền hơn nên làm tay quay rời từ phía sau đuôi máy bay sẽ thuận tiện hơn và khởi động nhanh hơn.
Selain kayu balsa bisa gak gan?
And please give a link for the drill you used.......... please 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Btw can you please tell what paper or fabric what ever is it which u used to make wings of ornithopter

I use tissue paper. There are special tissue papers for model airplanes and you can also use gift wrapping tissue paper.
Use an Earring Stud Post (eBay) for pin joining connecting rod !
Can I use Japanese paper, Instead?

Yes. People often use "Japanese" tissue for model airplanes, and it is lighter than what I used.
I am happy
Sir I live in India and I want an ornithopter but I am unable to make it.So please suggest me a website so that I can buy it from there.🙏

The glue is Elmers Glue All and the drill is something like this one: www.ebay.com/itm/223083370530?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item33f0ce1822:g:b2gAAOSweQBZnXui&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACgBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%252Fn%252BzU5L90Z278x5ickkgCVySCgrNFPU8Iu85TabMCHZF%252FLe3%252BWJo5Rk3vvM7j1MzkNMYHDXTiFkL3xOytGYoizHElYehjy7A%252FXITmOQ0lQE02UUJAaXivWNbVFQemkUQR1wwF%252Fa1159wIZ0WVHZKtclm7ffVxRm5LVYMjC0gMzEIL0HgbETrEGMmaq8S2d318nyM48HKxLrO3cUDJqgB7g6Rffrf9gagSrwHCI7fNMnAKhYdf5eJEeL0l%252BTKEjVO5zgJFGblofeIegau3iEySG0AGuahuqMZeibAr49wTDtx8MS6oO4eS3yVbe%252FFcmLTvRldAfWqJCmj%252FXmM2DlzUmmUCh5%252F3hTpFc6QuWhrNoJc2ArE5J8qH18NiiFjLvYdM1AUmfMoqBptn8KV8VlCuFf56w%252BNbI6kDHdM3ww5aBlYUrXueAGa68WBCmIerMwkw1SIcuf5HcTww7t6P0fpUAow86Ci3ssqh%252BUlwW2vTrDkvdUPKy0cOqfPzpIZn2MPJL0lTpzHzHpPSi0lyrjjTVcKSQsxgEmtuIaxuJT7SJSgNy8FdNQyYVlzYPPujniyVtMxfPKkaBiWlLU1OOElplL2ajxxFHEMVD%252F3leWIEzgbL4EOiiV54dR9Ju0Vvb1K36745xr5cos6mcHzORKaZdOIjo7dFjaCPWnvMOagCCEL1Jmp5LCo8BfA9Stoopso8ieZROlcg%252FWxxWXtoFiTSDNqfkSFOiuRlae1dnn08KbZkdxTDmzKtzlint2EM%252Fs%252BIgIO5Uu2kNHXRMWYSnULRx7pBv5af95Cf2xuJQ7u%252BxOtpXBc4Q3299EJ0nYYXQ%253D%7Ccksum%3A223083370530d90a9a0b26914eeebc2fdd0a703757c3%7Campid%3APL_CLK%7Cclp%3A2334524

Wow rusty flyer i was subscribe you
Sweetheart and very
The problem is not building it it’s finding the material

I realize this may be difficult, especially with the decline in hobby stores that has happened. One online vendor is sigmfg.com, they sell most of the materials, but it looks like they ship outside USA.

Sorry to hear that. Try the Freebird design instead. It's quite a different (and more traditional) approach so maybe you will have more success with that. www.ornithopter.org/archive/freebird.pdf
