    Yes.
    Yes.
    The wings articulate using a fulcrum and lever approach using a gate hinge and are controled by means of a sheathed bicycle brake cable that I can pull out using my hands or attached to weaponry (see my hawkman costume video).

  • @atgrigg78
    @atgrigg78  12 лет назад

    I used turkey feathers, about 3 pounds of (tom rounds) and about 1/2 pound of plumage. Tom rounds average 12" to 14 in length and 1 3/4" to 2 1/2" in width. The hen rounds average 10" to 12" in length and 1 1/4" to 1 3/4" in width.Rounds are either right wing or left wing. The amount of feathers in a pound will vary depending on the size of the quill.

    Prior to this project, I had no training. Much of what I did was self taught through research and development. I started with miniature designs and tested various materials to determine a cost effective method to creating a structurally sound set of articulating wings. The armature was designed by a close friend, who at the time was sculpting, molding, and casting a fully armored batman suit.

  • @WolfQueenMusic
    @WolfQueenMusic 12 лет назад

    Just one thing, the outer parts of the wings on the end are supposed to go behind the inner part of the wing, not in front, that would have made it even more realistic, but other then that, THIS IS AWESOME!!

    Wow, a bit pricey, but I can see why. All that work, not to mention the thought that went into making them. And they articulate! That's the part that makes the price well worth it.

  • @atgrigg78
    @atgrigg78  11 лет назад

    I have looked into this and the torque required to articulate the wings is impractical. One can use a dispersed array of motors synchronized throughout the wings or two primary motors with torque converters. Either configuration requires about 15 pounds of NiMH batteries (enough for about 3 hours of continuous use, or 6 hours of moderate use). $2000 would barely cover cost. You need to figure in labor - the most expensive part of manufacturing these wings, unless you can get these built in China

    i would really love a pair of these wings.. it would be perfect for a Maximum Ride cosplay if the feathers were in a different color~

  • @atgrigg78
    @atgrigg78  12 лет назад

    I would rather build a new pair so you can pick the color and I can design it to fit you.
    I would also add in extra reinforcements and better articulation.
    I have yet to be offered an amount worthy of consideration to start another project.
    It is very labor intensive, but if paid a deposit up front for supplies it is likely that I can complete a set in 6-8 weeks (before halloween 2012)

  • @atgrigg78
    @atgrigg78  11 лет назад

    I will update this video thread and my video channel once I start my kickstarter project. I will list the price for a full set at that time.

  • @atgrigg78
    @atgrigg78  11 лет назад

    Short answer: Yes.
    The wings in this video are a prototype. The new design is almost ready for production featuring better ergonomics, added reinforcement to high impact areas, lighter weight design, and easy assembly for quick repairs if need be.
    I plan to launch a project on kickstarter(dot)com issuing awards at different contribution levels. People who donate at the highest contribution level will receive of a pair of custom built wings to a color of their choosing.

    Right... ?
    It's not like I have an assembly line or employees, it's just me.
    Many of the supplies to make one set cannot be purchased in bulk and some have to be completely fabricated from scratch.
    The most expensive part is labor, which is really cheap considering that my first pair took 8 months to build....
    I wish I could make them for less.

    • @atgrigg78
      @atgrigg78  8 лет назад +3

      +Links2ndHeroine In all - I spent about $1600 in materials and hardware. Somethings you only need to buy once like a heat gun, drill set, saw, etc. That also includes costs for research and development and experimenting with various materials and construction. As for the backpack - I purchased one and cut it up. But you can also find patterns for making your own straps and packs.

Suggestions?

  • @captainsewerrat
    @captainsewerrat 12 лет назад

    Excellent building, looks very cool. I think if you can manage to change the "flapping" motion in the way that you can spread your arms out parallel to the wings it would look even better instead of having to move your arms downwards. Maybe just rerouting the wires would do the trick. Just a suggestion. =)
