Close up of the rotational actuation with magnetic coil actuators

An experiment attempted to produce a 2 degree of freedom motion for flexible membrane wings. The first degree of freedom was realized with FL2D3. The 2nd one, as shown here, was realized with magnetic coil actuators (MCA). I fixed the power input an varied the actuation frequencies of a square wave. This video shows the rotation amplitudes as well as the structural responses.

excellent work. i have planned to work on similar lines ( gear less Ornithopter ). Is there any published article on your work so that i can refer.

Hi, I appreciate this is an old post but I'm interested in playing around with magnetic actuators too. Can you recommend me to some basic sources for information please? I'd like to learn more. Thanks in advance!

Look for micro RC groups . Keyword micro. You’ll find a lot of tweaking and variations
