      @@michaelcarlisle7713 Making an angle grinder fly is not a worthy creation from a college degree, it's something an inbreed hic creates in his living-room-garage provided it doesn't kill him first.
      Now, the multiple unmanned and manned planes Peter created, that... THAT is what I'd expect from a college graduate.
      Though to be fair, read this i just posted:
      "Ya know... one can only upload SO many practical and safe videos SO many times before people say, "this was already done on a dozen other channels", leading one to the conclusion, "one has to create NEW and UNSEEN footage to bring in NEW subs and not lose old subs".
      Enter the age where Natural Selection no longer exists and millions of otherwise stupid people (dude at 0:44) clamor to subscribe to NEW and UNSEEN content, intelligent and sensible people would not watch."
      I feel sad for future generations including todays younger generation, they get NO ne content, just content they THINK is new till they discover the old song, movie, or physical device it is based on. =(
      of course, as you already know, I am just one of millions of you tube commenters who's comments don't matter =P

    The fun thing with the BV141 is the tail design wasn't because of the asymmetry - it was for the tail gunner! They wanted them to be able to not have to worry about the stabilizer being in the way. It was mocked for its design so never saw production beyond the first prototypes, but filled the role of a single engine scout/bomber that it was designed for pretty damn well in initial testing.

    You probably already noticed this but each time you push the copter wings with the launch pole, you’re inverting the angle of the blades turning all that wanted upward thrust into downward thrust, or no thrust just gravity, but it is a great idea and I think Peter can get it to work, little bit lighter blades with a better angle and “out of box” design,

    Cool rig!
    If you take the bevel gears off, the motor can sit longitudinally helping out the balance, and the rig will also enjoy a little less mechanical loss. I dont think the gears have any actual reduction, so you're still direct drive.

    Hey Peter - project idea! What if you made a plane without ailerons, and instead had the main wing on a rail that moved the wing left/right to tilt the plane one way or the other, due to the imbalance of lift on either side? To explain it another way: The wing (when moving on the rail in one direction) would be getting longer on one side while getting shorter on the other due to the linear motion on the rail, 90° from the direction of flight.

      I think that's how some hang-glides turn... The person shifts their weight and thus moves the center of gravity left or right making the craft roll and turn in that direction.

    • @netts2315
      @netts2315 Před rokem +2

      And have the propeller on a rail too to make an offset in the center of thrust relative to the center of gravity, giving you yaw control :D

  • @vivalarevolucion9
    @vivalarevolucion9 Před rokem +20

    For a single blade helicopter, you need propulsion at each tips of the blade, pointing in opposite direction (to get a clockwise or anti-clockwise movement) ... like they do in China with fireworks flying wheels. The centripetal force helping, it'll stabilize the wing.... but all the weight being at the tips, it'll also increase the possibility that it tears apart.

    • @leftaroundabout
      @leftaroundabout Před rokem +1

      Actually it should be ok with propulsion on only one tip. However you do need a counterweight, so that the center of mass is reasonably far away from the prop so that it can create good torque. The designs in this video didn't have that. Best is of course to use the battery as the counterweight.

      @@leftaroundabout Charybdis, McCutcheon's machine, Flying Maple seed. Plenty of examples on youtube of them. Might not be strong enough structurally but looked like his center of rotation was too far off from his center of balance. For the two bladed one I would go with a smaller prop delivering higher speed but less static thrust. I think he got all of the thrust out of the big prop he could but it just wasn't high speed enough especially so close to the center of rotation where plenty of thrust is going in the wrong direction just because Angular moments are wrong. I ran a Monocopter challenge on RCOnline back in 2007, it was fun and I flew them all the time with little cox engines or a Norvel 15 powered one with a wing made of 2 mill coroplast SPAD style. My biggest was the wing from my first Ugly Stick when the fuse wore out. Ran a throttled os 40fp for power. On a still day I could throttle up, take it high, throttle down and let it come back and change altitude. It was a flying oddity. When I started flying Norvels for 1/2A I no longer needed the 25% fuel for the Cox engines, And I put the things up for memories sake.
