The material could be density faded with 3d printing or just
use tapered springs.
This was supposed to be Fractal Hat Rack for the person
who wears many hats, but I couldn't find the category. Coat
rack is... ok I guess.

could you describe this more visually? Is it like a fern triangle, or um, sort of like the link? |

I like the idea of a bouncy 3d fractal using tapered springs. One could adjust desired bounce by altering the 3d profile of the spring - flat being bounciest and polygonal less bouncy. Envisioning 3d objects is not my strong suit but I can imagine a 3d fractal which looked like it was continuously unfolding by rotating various components along different axes. |

Less sure about hanging coats on it. Maybe small moss-filled flowerpots with orchids and other aerophyte plants, carried along for the ride. |

Think what would happen if you tapered an iron spring
from 4 inches thick to millimeters thick over 12 inches in
a mathematically derived shape. You would have a
gyroscope that stores energy and can impart that energy
back to the system incrementally with each stroke of the
bendy wing the spring is attached to. |

Sadly not. Springs are not gyroscopes. They are not gyroscopic, and they lack gyroscopy. What you would have is a spring, is what you would have. |

You can store energy in a gyroscope and you can store
energy in a spring, I dont see a difference besides that
one has an axle. Axles are what killed Wilber Wright.
He died trying to defend his patent on propulsive
undulation which is the way that all life moves --
masked as a steering mechanism -- from Alexander
Ghrahm Bell's introduction of articulation into the wing
in the form of reintroducing our historical mistake of
inventing the wheel, into the wing, which created
World War 1 and 2 and all the rest of the horror of the
20th Century. I think this time we should know better
than to introduce unneccesary motors into these
technologies. These flapping machines should go
directly toward human powered flapping flight not by
way of powered drones, if we want a peaceful
transition to the infusion of intelligence into all
matter. |

*sigh* so, when you say "gyroscope", you mean "flywheel"? [JHC] if you're going to spew your drug-induced incoherent ramblings all over the internet, at least make sure they''re coherent incoherent ramblings. And get either help or a late-night show. Or a translator. |

Thank you for correcting me MB, I I'll use the term fly
wheel from now on. |
