Abstract

We present a generalized, 3 dimensional version of the Purcell's swimmer\nwhich is a planar mechanism locomoting at low Reynlods number regime. We use\nCox theory and resistive force theory to come up with the forces acting on the\nsystem. We finally come up with a purely kinematic form of the system's\nequations.\n
