Objects can fly because of pressure differences caused by cog dynamics, even to the point of using the energy in the wind for lift.


Can you see how the cogs and the golf ball and the pixiwing all use the same simple mathematical principle? Except, that the pixiwing is a far lighter mechanism than the golf ball system.

Also the pixiwing (ornithopter) spins more in windy weather, because the flaps increase its stability, and lift! In very windy weather the pixiwing will fly with a net increase in energy resulting in its batteries being more charged after the flight than before!!

This is a diagram that only half explains how a conventional wing flies. Simply drawing lines around a wing and arrows pointing up does not make much of a theory.

The pressure is represented, but very inaccurately. Why are the lines on the top drawing close together if they are under low pressure? Surely a low pressure cell would mean that they move further apart?

Like This. But there is still no up force on the wing.
This would stop it going down, but its not enough to make it go up.
The air movement must be traced logically, using the cog system.

Like This.
The colliding air will move in vortices.
Forming small low pressure pockets of air.

Which then role under the wing. We are back to cogs again here, spinning against one another.

Principles of flight
As the vortices are pushed under the wing and are squashed by the force of gravity acting on the wing, or against the sea, they come under higher pressure relative to the vortices above the wing. This is very similar to aquaplaning. But its more like, well its, air-planing isn't it?

This explains why birds flying just above the water use less energy. They are rolling along vortices of air.
