| Division: | Engineering & Computing Sciences | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Chignecto East | | City: | River John, NS | | School: | River John Consoladated | | Abstract: | An entomopter is a mechanical replica of a flying insect. My entomopter design is based upon a dragonfly because a dragonfly propels itself like no other arthropod. Project Entomopter investigates building a life size mechanical dragonfly, shows how inexpensively this can be done and explores many uses for such a device. |
