  • In this video I try to see if I can achieve flight in my vacuum chamber at the pressure on the surface of Mars. I talk about Ingenuity and how it can fly on Mars.

    Very interesting experiment. Instead of measuring the amount of weight reduction by trying to take off and fly, spin the fan backwards and press it down onto the scale to see how much force it is able to apply. Then you could grab some statistics like how much power it takes to generate a certain amount of lift. Be curious what that curve looks like.

      @76rjackson Před 3 lety +2

      If the scale and motor had a small scaffold, perhaps made of heavy duty aluminum foil with a hole punched through it, positioned just under the propeller and resting on the floor of the chamber on 4 legs positioned around the corners of the scale, the downward thrust could be deflected and an accurate measurement taken.

      Though for more accurate testing nasa used a device to simulate mars gravity by using cables that lifted the ingenuity enough to counteract the extra force earth applies.

    @Razza2250 Před 3 lety

    to mimic the approach used to make this work for ingenuity, you would need a propellor with signifcantly higher blade pitch. This means that the prop would be directing a larger volume of air downwards at the same RPM as a one of lower pitch. You can see in the photo of ingenuity that the blades have a massively steep pitch close to the hub, which tapers out towards the leading edge. This design ensures that an even amount of thrust is produced all the way along the blade, where a consistent pitch would see the bulk of the lift being generated near the tips, placing enormous stresses on the hub due to leverage. It also helps the prop cope with high rotational speeds, as the centre of mass of each blade sits closer to the hub, but you are still getting the advantage of a larger total surface area compared to a smaller diameter consistent-pitch prop with similar CoG characteristics. I would highly recommend trying this experiment again, but with a 5" FPV quadcopter triblade such as the Gemfan Hurricane 51499 or the T-Motor 5150 props. These are rated for extreme RPMs (40,000+ is typical for high performance racing drones) and they have an aggressive pitch that tapers along the blade. You may need to 3d a similar "floating mount" like you have here to take advantage of the 5mm shaft of a brushless racing drone motor, such as a 2207, high Kv brushless motor to achieve the desired RPMs. NASA really have those big blades spinning very fast for their size to make it fly, I think you would get impressive results with a similar approach

Flying with wings is just about geometry, like water skiing is not actually floating but just a dynamic phenomenon.

    Congratulations you've just discovered anti-gravity.! And all by yourself.!
    Try doing the same thing but removing the angle on the blades or replace the blades all together with little aerodynamic Support Beams.
    So that you can rule out aerodynamic lift all together.

    Put the scale under a transparent cover which is larger than the scale and rests on the floor of the vacuum chamber, with a small hole on top for the propeller shaft to go to the prop. In this way, the motor will be on the scale under the cover, which will permit observation of the weight on the scale. The lift generated by the propeller will not be offset by the downdraft, and thus an estimate of the lift force can be measured.

  • @chrisbraid2907

    If you suspended a baffle above the motor and below the propeller you could get a better reading of total lift. Much like running your motor through your scale as far as results go .

    We know that spinning the plastic fan will stretch it(as shown by it exploding), I feel that the center of it will also stretch/expand, but likely unevenly because of the attachment points of the blade. This could easily grip down on the electric motor adapter causing it to need more energy to actually "release" the fan blade.
