Air Horse
Paper Animation Kit
A new paper project to download and make. The Air Horse is a bellows powered automata, pump the main bellows and the smaller body bellows fill with air making the horse arch and stretch
.The project comes as a downloadable pdf file with all the parts and instructions ready to print out. Paid subscribers to this newsletter can download the pdf at the end of the page. Thank you for your support! The file is also available from www.robives,com where it can be download for £5 or equivalent.
In the project, the larger bellows at the base blows air up through the vertical tube into the smaller paper bellows that make up the body of the horse. Because the body bellows are fixed at their top they curve around as they are inflated making the horse arch up.
