The Dragonfly Or Reactive Passive Locomotion: A Vacuum Theory Of Aerial Navigation, Based On The Principle Of The Fan Blower (1882) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165073245)

""The Dragonfly Or Reactive Passive Locomotion: A Vacuum Theory Of Aerial Navigation, Based On The Principle Of The Fan Blower"" is a book written by Thaddeus Hyatt and published in 1882. The book explores the concept of aerial navigation and locomotion based on the principle of the fan blower. Hyatt proposes that the movement of a dragonfly is achieved through the use of a vacuum created by the flapping of its wings, which allows it to move through the air with ease. The book includes detailed illustrations and descriptions of the anatomy and behavior of dragonflies, as well as the physics of their movement. It also discusses the potential applications of this theory in the development of aircraft and other forms of aerial transportation. Overall, ""The Dragonfly Or Reactive Passive Locomotion"" is a fascinating exploration of the science behind the movement of dragonflies and its potential implications for the field of aviation.To Which Is Appended Some Remarks On Water And Its Navigation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
