Final Project Prototyping

http://itp.nyu.edu/~bmy1/video/wing1.MOV

The idea for the final project is to have a bird-esque thing of wings that hang by a stiff rod from the ceiling. the wings are on a hinge and dangle on the sides. Underneath the bird will be a fan that, once triggered, will spin to send an air current upward creating lift underneath the wings causing them to rise and fall to simulate the bird flapping its wings in flight.
