Helicopter Automaton

This fun desktop toy brings out your inner creativity, allowing you to have a short break from the task at hand while pondering on the mechanical relationship between the parts allowing it to work. With a few simple spins of the side lever, the helicopter comes to life hovering up and down. Combined with the spinning blades, it becomes mesmerizing while maintaining its simplicity. With overall dimensions of 10X20X25cm, it is able to achieve fine details while still fitting onto a confined desktop space. This was a team project with my partner @Bweb6234.
