Virtual Rotation Axis

Two ellipse mechanisms (blue bar, two violet sliders and green bar, two pink sliders) are connected by yellow bar at center points of the blue and green bars.
The yellow bar rotates around a virtual axis.
Driving motion is the rotation of blue or green bar.
This video aims to illustrate the rotation around a virtual axis.
The mechanism is applied where the placing a real rotation axis is impossible.
