Flapping-flight (I): development of a DC motor-based resonant flapping mechanism for large wing strokes

Three elastic coupling mechanisms have been designed to improve the efficiency of a flapping mechanism directly powered by a DC motor run with an alternating signal for oscillating rotation. The mechanisms were designed to oscillate at natural frequency where little or no energy is wasted to acceler...
