Reply To: How to realize the motion that a rigid body moves in an elliptical path?

Hi, Rob:

(1) Yes, in real, the moving object rotate around its own axis;

(2) Yes, the moving object is connected with another driving object(Let’s say a rod);

(3) The driving object(the rod) pushes the moving object to move along the ellipse path, but I do not know the force between them.

  Figure 2 shows the simplified situation.

Regards
