THE MECHANICAL ÆROSTAT.

Make a “flyer” by attaching three vanes to a common centre, mounted

perpendicularly on a pin. These vanes are segments of a circle of which

the obliquity increases as they recede from the centre of motion.

[Illustration: Fig. 152.]

A stand is made to hold it while a cord is wound round the spindle. On

pulling the string, it will ascend.

The vanes must be adjusted angularly for the best effect.
