My idea is a hat with wings inspired by the greek and roman god Mercury / Hermes's hat/helmet. It would be a normal hat but would have wings on top which would have some mechanism to make them flutter.
like this found illustration but to the side rather than to the back |
I was thinking the wings would be based on a ornithopter/chirothopter similar to this Instructable page but on a hat. I had a hard time finding exactly the same mechanism that I am envisioning. Most were like the ornithopter or were wings like these but they don't look as fun as something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=pqoY5JMMSME. There was also this interesting one: http://hackaday.com/2014/10/12/mechanical-bird-actually-flies-by-flapping-its-wings/
I am first to admit this is a rough idea but I think it would be fun.
The circuit could be similar to this and would attach to the arduino.
