Flying Machine Catapult Ring 4

This is how the ring works. You just turn the crank and until the rubber band is all twisted and when you let go...it flies.



I took a jewelry/metal smithing class last semester and this is my 'ring.' We had to create 'The Ring' that a famous person was wearing when a famous event occurred.
I did Leonardo Da Vinci's ring when he designed the flying machine and a type of catapult.

The process was awesome..but very difficult trying to figure out how to make the wings work. The wings are powered by a small rubber band and a crank. The catapult is also powered by a rubber band. And the ring fits my finger.

I'll provide a number of pictures of the different angles and movements.
