Well the idea of this project
is to accurately model

fish as actually Petroff and
right and the reason for

this is that it's based on the way that
it's modeled which is set forth in

the paper that was pretty
certain by Professor Al Ben and

a few other people at Harvard because
the way the thin right model works.

It should serve as a device for
sort of robots.

I think like that in the future.

So talk a little bit about
how the center is work and

then the design and
how I tried to get that model

work and then just a little bit
of patients and future research

is actually the hope is made up of a bunch
of generators defender a sort of like

they look like muscle tissue
just the red strands and

what they're made of is this
right here sort of a membrane.

And these are actually bones which is the
biggest part of what I'm modeling and it's

a big part of how the finesse actually
move because if you see right here.

If you apply pressure to one end.

If you put one end up.

It's the same thing the other direction.

So that's how you get the flap and
with not a lot of effort but

the what happens when you do
that is that there is traces and

these actually when you put it this way
this one is going to shift over here and

this thing shifts over here.

And the way the forces between
these work is that these two

the membrane tries to sew the strain.

Top of each other and so
this membrane over here.

Just keep is about a saying
the same distance which is why

playing off each other.

It's going to start.

So that instead same distance and he said.

Same distance.

So this is basically one piece of model.

This is sort of modeling
the metrics right here and

the spring is designed so that it can
be the first between the two trying

together and as you can see over
here it's shifted a little bit.

I realize this is fairly
crude at the moment but

this is also a big part of the design was
that sort of springs and all the forces

could be interchanged so that we could
play around with that and see what

the best thing to do was as far as
getting it to model the actual equations.

He was got two of the pieces
that I just showed you.

And basically this is one way
that I haven't connected.

I have also tried some springs and
other things but

that's the way it was set
up when I took the picture.

But right here.

I don't actually have springs and
this picture.

But there should be strings connecting
these two which again need to

be interchangeable.

So that we can climb out
of that a little bit and so

we see here as if this was the base of the
fender right by pulling one end back and

pushing one and fill in and so that would
do is cause this point there's ferrite so

I'm sorry the Symmetrix to move a little
bit further and this one backwards at

the same time is going to talk a little
bit and so by stringing a bunch of these

together then we're going to get
a model on an actual center.

I wasn't kidding when I said this
is stone still being done so

like I said the pushing in the pulling is
what's causing the whole thing to flap.

And as far as this goes
when we demean Elsa's

all we have to do is put in a remote it's
going to close things back and forth.

And that way we can and analyze that
with you know a fairly accurate

flapping motion and be able to do that.

The other thing about the cell
is the way only true picture

with all the stuff sticking out of this.

It's a little bit of a problem to get an
accurate way of how it disperses accurate

idea of how displaces broader So the plan
is to attach sheets of metal to it and

stick them up out of this back to the side

of this coming up and then that way
that will be just a pure motion of

what we're trying to model and yeah.

In the future this I'm hoping and
press are album is hoping

that this is if the results here
are promising then some and run.

Perhaps not made out of this.

And be able to in the future
use this on robots.

Because it's a lot better
than if it was just fun.

Now that's that's about it.

I wasn't kidding when I said it was cool.

You ran a long time having questions.

Now let's back out the Petrof then is

basically a big collection of Fender
rays each one of these is a fan right.

And how it moves each one of the fan
arrays is it's got muscles that move

the base of the fan and
I said just the first time the tracks.

It just moves one of them
present towards one side and

that sort of things going to move.

Yes right.

And then that's going to
move everything else.

Right.

And then I guess I don't

know exactly right.

That's the idea and I was kind of
hoping that deal farther with this when

this presentation came around but
unfortunately right now there's

not a lot of experimental data as far
as the different spring constants and

stuff like that you will have one and

we're going to try different springs
to symbolize different forces

see which forces are going to
overpower which forces and

in that way we're going to try to
get to model the actual equation and

that there is an equation for
these kinds of things and in that paper.

I don't have it here because it's it's so.

Right.

I believe the scale on
this picture right here

is this line is I believe a quarter
of a millimeter so pretty small.

Exactly.

But the ceiling like I said this
is sort of the marriage sort of.
