Bi-Bennetts (Supplementary Material)

Supplementary material of the paper Bi-Bennetts - Flexible arrangement of two Bennett tubes. 

The material consists of a video (see or download file bi-bennetts-video.mp4 bellow) and an interactive CAD model, which can be accessed on this link:

The model can be moved by dragging one of the links (except the base link). Close to the fully-stretched configuration of a Bennett 4R loop (i.e. the four common normals of adjacent axes fall into the same line) the CAD model behaves very sensitive, and it may collapse. You can use ctrl+z shortcut to step back up to the initial configuration.
