PRIME MOVER
DETAILS
1 BODY: Body is the main frame on an ORNITHOPTER which holds all other
functional and static parts onto it. It should be strong enough to withstand the
static and dynamic loads acting on the ORNITHOPTER.
2. WINGS: These are the part of an ORNITHOPTER which create thrust and lift
needed for the flying. It should be flexible enough to create an angle of attack.
3. CONNECTING ROD: This is the part which transmits the motion from a prime
mover to the wings. It is that linkage which converts the rotatory motion of prime
mover into reciprocating motion of the wings.
4. PRIME MOVER: In this case a prime mover is rotating device which rotates
about a fixed axis. This rotatory motion is later converted into reciprocating
motion of the wings, which in turn creates the thrust needed to fly.

MATHEMATICAL
A FOUR-BAR linkage is the simplest movable closed chain linkage. It consists of
four linkages in a closed loop mainly by four revolute joints. It is a constrained
motion because of its single degree of freedom
GRASHOFS PRINCIPLE:
The Grashofs condition for a four bar linkage states that if the sum of the
shortest and longest link of a planer quadrilateral linkage is less than or equal to
the sum of the remaining two links, then the shortest link can rotate fully with
respect to a neighbouring link(i.e. we will get a continuous motion).
