  • Simple Origami for Cub Scouts and Leaders
    SIMPLE ORIGAMI FOR CUB SCOUTS AND LEADERS Sakiko Wehrman (408) 296-6376 [email protected] ORIGAMI means paper folding. Although it is best known by this Japanese name, the art of paper folding is found all over Asia. It is generally believed to have originated in China, where paper- making methods were first developed two thousand years ago. All you need is paper (and scissors, sometimes). You can use any kind of paper. Traditional origami patterns use square paper but there are some patterns using rectangular paper, paper strips, or even circle shaped paper. Typing paper works well for all these projects. Also try newspaper, gift-wrap paper, or magazine pages. You may even want to draw a design on the paper before folding it. If you want to buy origami paper, it is available at craft stores and stationary stores (or pick it up at Japan Town or China Town when you go there on a field trip). Teach the boys how to make a square piece from a rectangular sheet. Then they will soon figure out they can keep going, making smaller and smaller squares. Then they will be making small folded trees or cups! Standard origami paper sold at a store is 15cm x 15 cm (6”x6”) but they come as small as 4cm (1.5”) and as large as 24cm (almost 9.5”). They come in different colors either single sided or double sided. They also come in different patterns, varying from traditional Japanese patterns to sparkles. When you make an origami, take your time.

  • Origami Science
    Origami Science You will be surprised to know that paper folding ideas are used in technically advanced science projects. Some projects use bona fide origami folding techniques in the their work. However, in some cases, the term "origami" is used even when there is minimal folding involved. Origami-Inspired Deployable Solar Array As we approach 2014, we revisit the 50-year-old space problem of transporting large-objects in narrow-rockets. Here comes origami to the rescue. Researchers at Brigham Young University, National Science Foundation, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and origami expert Robert Lang designed a space array which can be folded compactly and then deployed while in outer space. When opened, the proposed disk-like array is 25 meters in diameter (82 feet) but when folded origami-style, it is only 2.7 meter (8.8 feet). Large-array-in- narrow-rocket problem solved! Not so fast. It takes a lot of time and money to make a 25 meter solar array so the project is currently in the form of a 20th scale prototype. Read article or see video . This solar array is similar to the origami Flasher by Jeremy Shafer but it's not the first time that origami has been used in space technology. In 2002, Robert Lang designed "Eyeglass", a foldable space telescope; a full-scale model has not been made or launched (read more). Back in 1995, Japanese scientists designed a "Miura-ori" solar array which was successfully launched and deployed (read more). Foldable Paper Lithium-Ion Battery Researchers from Arizona State University constructed a paper-based lithium-ion battery which can be folded Miuri-Ori style (the famous Mori-ori map fold).

Trinkle (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) Copyright 2004 by Devin Balkcom. All rights reserved. Abstract Origami, the human art of paper sculpture, is a fresh challenge for the field of robotic manipulation, and provides a concrete example for many difficult and gen- eral manipulation problems. This thesis will present some initial results, including the world’s first origami-folding robot, some new theorems about foldability, defi- nition of a simple class of origami for which I have designed a complete automatic planner, analysis of the kinematics of more complicated folds, and some observa- tions about the configuration spaces of compound spherical closed chains.

Crooks* Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Center for Electrochemistry, and Center for Nano- and Molecular Science and Technology, The University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station, A5300, Austin, Texas 78712-0165, United States bS Supporting Information Scheme 1 ABSTRACT: We report a method, based on the principles of origami (paper folding), for fabricating three-dimensional (3-D) paper microfluidic devices. The entire 3-D device is fabricated on a single sheet of flat paper in a single photo- lithographic step. It is assembled by simply folding the paper by hand. Following analysis, the device can be unfolded to reveal each layer. The applicability of the device to chemical analysis is demonstrated by colorimetric and fluorescence assays using multilayer microfluidic networks. connections between layers. Moreover, assembly of the device ere we report a method for fabricating three-dimensional using double-sided tape is irreversible so that only the surface H(3-D) paper microfluidic devices that is based on the prin- layer can be used for colorimetric detection. The approach we de- ciples of origami (paper folding). The concept is illustrated in scribe addresses these points. Scheme 1. Using this method, the entire device is fabricated on a As previously discussed, 3-D μPADs are fabricated by stacking single sheet of flat paper, and then it is assembled by simple paper 2-D layers. An alternative approach is based on the principles of folding. This method is important for several reasons.
