This video describes a small project by Brian Chan and Theresa Guo at the Hatsopoulos Microfluids Laboratory (Building 3, 2nd floor). It is a machine that flaps its wings and indicates the amount of lift generated. The data will be useful to determine how the force varies with a changing wing stroke angle, and thus help us design better flying machines.
