Diagram

Folding Fan

This is a diagram for my action origami unit, called a spring joint, and it can be used to integrate motion into many origami models. In this case, it is presented as a flapping fan, that can be used as an alternative to the traditional fan for cooling off on a hot day, but I encourage you to experiment with this unit and create your own action models!
