I’m an aerospace engineer, fun fact: Turbines create thrust not lift. A wing’s curved shape creates lift as it moves through the air. Propeller blades have a similar shape for the same reason. Blades in a jet turbine also have the same shape, but they don’t use this to create lift or thrust. Instead, several layers of blades suck in and compress air, which is directed to the combustion chamber and nozzle.
I would argue that the blades are used to create thrust. The compression stage is a necessary part of the thrust making process. The thrust is of course a way to describe the mass flow rate out of the engine - but this is the result of combustion, caused by compressed air and fuel, caused by the compression stage, caused by the blades.
@@pfarraldcash6095 Exactly! Steam technology and paddle wheels are cool and good looking. They are not efficient, low maintenance or easy to handle properly and very dangerous if mishandled in just the right way. See April 27, 1865, the Sultana, a Mississippi river side paddle steamer. Actually, much steam equipment has become more dangerous now than 50-100 years ago, as the number of people with proper training and understanding has dropped with it no longer being in wide use - not including steam turbine electrical power generation, large steam-powered ships, or any nuclear-powered steam generation, of course.
Early windmills from middle east were built this way as it was easier to change the angle of the blade for speed adjustment back in those times, so you can't really say it's a modern design to be honest.
They didn’t switch it because the old blades were too last century, they switched it so you don’t slice people into purée like a open blender going down the roadway.

Jet engines dont create lift. They provide thrust so that the wings with sufficient airspeed create lift Edit: Ladies and Gentlemen I thought it need not be said that this was a generalized statement as in general and civil aviation the primary lift generating component at cruise the wings generate the lift. Of course the thrust generating component has a force in the direction it is pointing, so if you direct your thrust downwards yes tour thrust will be producing more upwards force on the craft. This generalization is very common form of abstraction to simplify the model. Of course all models are wrong but some models are useful. It is general8zed at cruise in general and civil aviation where AOA is very small the thrust component is not producing much lift so the wings are the main lift generating component, so the statement engines don't create lift, the wings do that with airspeed is not entirely correct, it is also not flat wrong. Like how staing electricity takes the path of least resistance is wrong as electricity takes everypath with current proportionate to the inverse of resistance in said path; but that makes modeling complicated so we say electricity takes the path of least resistance, it is not entirely correct it is also not wrong.
@@lukasvavrinec5380 yeah you are correct to be fair, that said if you had a jet engine moving through the air at a high enough angle of attack, the engine body would create some lift 😂😂
@@YuFow yes you are correct, if you are at high enough aoa and are going at certain speed you can generate enough lift even with flat plate to make airplane flying, but it is not practical. Neither F-35 or Harrier is using engine in such a way that it generates lift.

It seems extremely inefficient. Four rotors verses one main rotor and a tail rotor, and lots of drag, is another negative. It failed in the early 20th century. It is still a fun project. But, that is all it is going to be, using this technique. The Magnus effect aeroplane was similar also. It failed as well.

@@user-wl5ne6pk6zthis isn't new technology. It's really old and is hyper inefficient vs regular rotors. That's why in 1927 it was dropped for our modern prop.
This is incredible! For years I thought Blade Runner spinners were a thing of fiction. Now it seems this technology is exactly the thing that would make them work...
Limited design functionality and likely inefficient. Standard propeller has been used for so long because the are the most efficient. In regards to noise, less noise is produced because the “blades” are not creating “resonate pressure differentials” frame or stationary frame components. This can be corrected by offsetting the blade spacing. Auto manufacturers have been doing this for years to lower cooling fan noise. Also how you are you to control yaw? Yaw it typically controlled by increasing or decreasing motor speed. This change in interia allows for the craft to rotate about it yaw axis. However, in the design you have shown the rotational axis on the motor is perpendicular to that of the frame which would like yield a roll or pitch effect.
each rotor is able to move in 4 directions so in order to yaw all it would need to do is have 1 rotor move back on one side and have 1 rotor move forward on the otherside also with other drones they use inertia but with things like helicopters they have a colective in the tail rotor witch pitches up or down to creator more or less counter torque and yaw the helicopter coaxial rotor helicopters pitch on set of blades up at a time to create drag and yaw the reason they done just lower the speed of their rotors is because it would be slow due to inertia
The problem is with the squirrel cage style rotors spinning them faster doesn't create more air but having them able to change their pitch help to gain more Lifting but if it was ducted
this design has been in existance since the first plane was born , no one used it because it was too complex and creates more points of failure , so thats why propellers are used today with the combination of wings
If they put a seat on it and a steering wheel all they would need is tires on their rotors and they would have a home built Tesla automobile. Give them an umbrella in case of rain.
Fun Fact: Cyclocopters have existed since the 1900s, so it's also literally 'so last century', but would've only worked well now because of computers actively controlling the blade angles as it rotates.
The thing just tested outside for the first time, pretty bold to say it’s more efficient and better at maneuvering. Can say it’s hypothesized but this channel seems more interested in views than anything else anyway
The internal blades change orientation as the "wheel" turns so that, in effect, two blades are always lifting while the other two don't contribute. Frankly, it seems like a more complex system. But if that's the sacrifice necessary to have a compact VTOL as the objective, without retractable wings or propellers, so be it.
Not a new idea, a working plane with "propellers" like these were made before WW2, but just never caught on. I remember in the early 2010's my school also making a working model as well.
It's basically the same concept as both wing and propellers just in on..the blade's are like many small wing's cutting trough the air like a propeller having a gyroscope and a computer controlling the pitch of the rotating wing blades will probably improve the lift like it's now only the top and bottom blade creates lift while spinning by having optimal pitch between the top and the bottom of the rotation would convert drag to lift..i just love earo Dynamics
For all the haters…..you are looking at the bones of a prototype…..there are endless possible shells for this frame which would include venting to prevent objects getting in and to protect any wildlife and i would assume it would glide down if there was a mechanical fault 👍💚🔥🔥🔥🔥🚀
As a helicopter pilot.. the idea of letting, just anyone fly, scares me to no end. Imagine if car accidents could happen literally ANYWHERE! Its bad enough with them stuck on roads. And I'm not sure people realize that.. flying is a lot harder than driving.
we would already have flying cars by now if people weren't so stupid in driving land cars. We have the tech, but its best to not open that can of worms until they can be fully automated. Computers are better at driving than the average person driving a car.
That's what prestigious folks said when cars were first introduced. They didn't want every Tom, dick & Harry using vehicles because they were "complex machines". Then mankind made things user friendly and everyone owns cars now, I'm pretty sure if flying vehicles are to become mainstream for personal use, they'll eventually figure out user friendly mechanisms. Then Astronauts will begin complaining about the difficulty of spaceflight and the cycle continues. 😅
@@ryanjones2297 Don't get me wrong, i agree we're not there yet, but tons of small general aviation aircraft roam the skies without transponders or collision avoidance systems, there are so many relaxed rules, basically a lawnmower with wings is allowed to roam the skies (with obvious exceptions) but that's my point. They'll start off strict, only allowing trained aviators, then the average Joe will have his chance after robust Ai systems allow for safer travel.
Ambient air intakes that divide air particles thereby placing more particles in the same space causing them to become more unstable and able to be bent and shaped like tornadic rods that directionally spin to become one large vector that is controlled by more or less particularly static electrical input.
It is indeed insane and unbelievable. It is certainly not more efficient. The general idea has been around a while. It just isn't worth doing. One problem is disc area. Generally speaking, moving a wide area of air slowly is better than moving a small area of air really fast. Those four wheels have a lot less area than a helicopter rotor.
from the research ive done it somehow is but i think they are saying its more efficient based on the fuel they consume per minute and that thing is electric but the cost of making 4 rotors instead of 1 per vehicle is going to be a huge limiting factor for the cyclocopter witch is probably why it hasent been touched sens 1909
@@autisticreatard7848 Oh no here we go again... Just how do witches fly? Is it thrust or lift generated by their broom or is it prue magic? Well, which is it? The idea of flying witches has been around for centuries ...
Im pretty sure that's entirely different area as satellites don't fly and are launched into space, on a rocket and when they reach space, the satellite is released. There's no gravity or air in space, so there's no need for a satellite to have rotors or propellers. There's nothing for them to propel themselves with. They would have small rocket boosters to push them around if needed. Otherwise they just float, stuck in the earth's magnetic field, going round and round.
A quadrotor drone has 4 moving parts. This has an independent servo for each blade in the rotor. I also didn't see it yaw and would imagine it would have way less yaw authority than a conventional multirotor.
@@chickenychickens5154 they seem to just be helping the magnus effect by increasing drag since aerofoils create some drag. And the way it "feels" like it would throw air, just seems like extension of magnus effect. Fyi, magnus effect creates lift as well.
It's been nearly 20 years since I basically had a dream about this machine. I say basically, because I'd recently, at that time, sold my beloved little standard cab shortbed 4x4 95 Nissan hardbody pickup. In the dream, I had decided to keep it and attached giant squirrel cage blowers to all four wheel hubs, and table legs to each corner of the truck, and I managed to make it take off and fly when I revved it to high RPMs in 5th gear. It was a fun dream for awhile. I never worked out the detail on how I'd isolated the orientation of thrust to be downwards. There was no housing diverting the flow, it was all open air like this thing, so I just chalked it up as a stupid dream. The dream ended as I was trying to figure out how the hell to land it safely, since every time I let off the throttle just a little, it began falling fast. I was getting worried when I woke from it. It's one of those dreams I've somehow managed to remember through all these years, so this video really excited me to see!
I've had lots of flying dreams as well I would fly objects and even like super man many times apparently it's a sign that we arr astrolprojecting while asleep
If you had this dream, that means it's time for flying cars. There's three just created that are on the market. One has 4 rotors built into the body. Very little room for passengers and gear.

"Too last century" There were aircraft like the Plymouth A-A-2004 that used a smooth rotating cylinder to generate lift in the 1930s. It's called the magnus effect and while not exactly the same as the rotors with blades on this design this is a hybrid between two similarly old technologies

@@user-wl5ne6pk6zI’m wondering the same thing.
@@user-wl5ne6pk6zthis isn't new technology. It's really old and is hyper inefficient vs regular rotors. That's why in 1927 it was dropped for our modern prop.
I didn't have to even read to comments to come to this conclusion. Won't be recommending 👍
Literally the first rendition of the first logically engineered flying car
This is incredible! For years I thought Blade Runner spinners were a thing of fiction. Now it seems this technology is exactly the thing that would make them work...
This idea is not New. The Principle is from ships. Its is called " Voith-Schneider Propeller " Namen after the german company that build it.
Its a precursor to the Spinner (Flying car) from "Bladerunner".
Purge purge purge
Helicopters have been working exactly the same way for decades
Looks much more safe as well, no blades that can do lots of damage.
Limited design functionality and likely inefficient. Standard propeller has been used for so long because the are the most efficient. In regards to noise, less noise is produced because the “blades” are not creating “resonate pressure differentials” frame or stationary frame components. This can be corrected by offsetting the blade spacing. Auto manufacturers have been doing this for years to lower cooling fan noise.
Also how you are you to control yaw? Yaw it typically controlled by increasing or decreasing motor speed. This change in interia allows for the craft to rotate about it yaw axis. However, in the design you have shown the rotational axis on the motor is perpendicular to that of the frame which would like yield a roll or pitch effect.
each rotor is able to move in 4 directions so in order to yaw all it would need to do is have 1 rotor move back on one side and have 1 rotor move forward on the otherside also with other drones they use inertia but with things like helicopters they have a colective in the tail rotor witch pitches up or down to creator more or less counter torque and yaw the helicopter coaxial rotor helicopters pitch on set of blades up at a time to create drag and yaw the reason they done just lower the speed of their rotors is because it would be slow due to inertia
save yourself some typing & read the other comments
We were all RC enthusiasts. We did this back in the 80's with cardboard.
i was just about to say, i saw multiple youtube videos people building drones with those props, and they are quite trashy.
@@Stuntman5701 yes. It was more of a joke challenge to try and get one to fly. They do fly but horribly enificiant. 😆 🤣
The problem is with the squirrel cage style rotors spinning them faster doesn't create more air but having them able to change their pitch help to gain more Lifting but if it was ducted
this design has been in existance since the first plane was born , no one used it because it was too complex and creates more points of failure , so thats why propellers are used today with the combination of wings
didn't you heard its too last century. we want something new
@@lordjaashinbut it's not new, that was his point lol
60 years ago they would have said that this looks like a flying car!
They did (this tech was in the 90')
Try the early 20th century
If they put a seat on it and a steering wheel all they would need is tires on their rotors and they would have a home built Tesla automobile. Give them an umbrella in case of rain.
Where as today we say it looks more like a flying car
@@jeff5798 😂
Fun Fact: Cyclocopters have existed since the 1900s, so it's also literally 'so last century', but would've only worked well now because of computers actively controlling the blade angles as it rotates.
The thing just tested outside for the first time, pretty bold to say it’s more efficient and better at maneuvering. Can say it’s hypothesized but this channel seems more interested in views than anything else anyway
Ahh, the squirrel cage rotor. Nice to see it used for more than a fan.
Not a new idea, in 1910 the first attempts to use a Magnus effect propeller, and Flettner Rotors were used on some ships
Finding the right light but strong materials and efficient power source were the major limiting factors
That is not based upon Magnus effect.
So they were trying to build a cylindrical hydrofoil? Why?
The internal blades change orientation as the "wheel" turns so that, in effect, two blades are always lifting while the other two don't contribute.
Frankly, it seems like a more complex system. But if that's the sacrifice necessary to have a compact VTOL as the objective, without retractable wings or propellers, so be it.
With the thumb nail I was HOPING someone pulled off the Magnus effect as a lift mechanism, but this is unfortunately not the Magnus effect
I've paper versions of these really cool. Regarding propellers you could have said they aren't efficient especially drones.
I saw a video about this exact prototype a year ago and if I remember one of the major problems was the loud noise of these cylindrical propellers.
Not a new idea, a working plane with "propellers" like these were made before WW2, but just never caught on. I remember in the early 2010's my school also making a working model as well.
It's a Voith drive (used on tugs) converted for drone configuration.
It's basically the same concept as both wing and propellers just in on..the blade's are like many small wing's cutting trough the air like a propeller having a gyroscope and a computer controlling the pitch of the rotating wing blades will probably improve the lift like it's now only the top and bottom blade creates lift while spinning by having optimal pitch between the top and the bottom of the rotation would convert drag to lift..i just love earo Dynamics
For all the haters…..you are looking at the bones of a prototype…..there are endless possible shells for this frame which would include venting to prevent objects getting in and to protect any wildlife and i would assume it would glide down if there was a mechanical fault 👍💚🔥🔥🔥🔥🚀
The world’s coolest lawnmower.
This is Nicolie Tesla technology. You get more from this design. Great stuff.
One step closer to owning my very own Blade Runner Spinner.
As a helicopter pilot.. the idea of letting, just anyone fly, scares me to no end. Imagine if car accidents could happen literally ANYWHERE! Its bad enough with them stuck on roads. And I'm not sure people realize that.. flying is a lot harder than driving.
Ya and you could f up tomorrow too
we would already have flying cars by now if people weren't so stupid in driving land cars. We have the tech, but its best to not open that can of worms until they can be fully automated. Computers are better at driving than the average person driving a car.
That's what prestigious folks said when cars were first introduced. They didn't want every Tom, dick & Harry using vehicles because they were "complex machines".
Then mankind made things user friendly and everyone owns cars now, I'm pretty sure if flying vehicles are to become mainstream for personal use, they'll eventually figure out user friendly mechanisms.
Then Astronauts will begin complaining about the difficulty of spaceflight and the cycle continues. 😅
@@Gspec5 yes, but 5 minutes sharing the road with the general public is enough to see why we can't have flying cars
@@ryanjones2297 Don't get me wrong, i agree we're not there yet, but tons of small general aviation aircraft roam the skies without transponders or collision avoidance systems, there are so many relaxed rules, basically a lawnmower with wings is allowed to roam the skies (with obvious exceptions) but that's my point.
They'll start off strict, only allowing trained aviators, then the average Joe will have his chance after robust Ai systems allow for safer travel.
New my ass...
Saw someone make one out of kfc buckets years ago.
Ambient air intakes that divide air particles thereby placing more particles in the same space causing them to become more unstable and able to be bent and shaped like tornadic rods that directionally spin to become one large vector that is controlled by more or less particularly static electrical input.
Now we got to make these vectorable. That is sick tech.
It is indeed insane and unbelievable. It is certainly not more efficient.
The general idea has been around a while. It just isn't worth doing.
One problem is disc area. Generally speaking, moving a wide area of air slowly is better than moving a small area of air really fast. Those four wheels have a lot less area than a helicopter rotor.
Can't sell an honest video, just lie
from the research ive done it somehow is but i think they are saying its more efficient based on the fuel they consume per minute and that thing is electric but the cost of making 4 rotors instead of 1 per vehicle is going to be a huge limiting factor for the cyclocopter witch is probably why it hasent been touched sens 1909
@@autisticreatard7848
Oh no here we go again... Just how do witches fly? Is it thrust or lift generated by their broom or is it prue magic? Well, which is it? The idea of flying witches has been around for centuries ...
bro how the fuck do witches have anything to do with weather or not a drone is more efficient@@leecurtice8207
Hmm... it looks like they adapted the Voith Schneider Propeller from ships to work on aircraft. Clever!
That's the coolest lawnmower I ever saw😂😂
This design will change flight as we know it. AWESOME ❤
"how can we make this drone quieter?"
"throw some wheels on it!"
and "quieter" remains to be seen... i mean heard
Satellites don't need blades
They travel around the earth....
Time for zeppelins to be new 😂
Im pretty sure that's entirely different area as satellites don't fly and are launched into space, on a rocket and when they reach space, the satellite is released. There's no gravity or air in space, so there's no need for a satellite to have rotors or propellers. There's nothing for them to propel themselves with. They would have small rocket boosters to push them around if needed. Otherwise they just float, stuck in the earth's magnetic field, going round and round.
Imagine sitting in traffic turning on that feature and hovering over everyone
A quadrotor drone has 4 moving parts. This has an independent servo for each blade in the rotor.
I also didn't see it yaw and would imagine it would have way less yaw authority than a conventional multirotor.
C-130s still using props
What does the c130 have to do with this
@@JakobJakob1 im asking the same thing
Wow its the 1832 centrifugal fan without a cowling? A squirrel cage with less blades?
Yep. The same concept has been around a while. Helicopter tails called NOTAR.
Funny how flying cars in movies had the wheels fold outward and point down, and now helicopters of the future have horizontal rotors
Is this just magnus effect again?
No it’s not, it’s the individual blades angled precisely to produce lift, as it doesn’t move in the air to produce lift
@@chickenychickens5154 they seem to just be helping the magnus effect by increasing drag since aerofoils create some drag. And the way it "feels" like it would throw air, just seems like extension of magnus effect.
Fyi, magnus effect creates lift as well.
@@prateekkarn9277look for scheider Voigt Prop, it's not working with magnus effect
@@prateekkarn9277 thanks for the information
But doesn’t the Magnus effect work while in motion?
That technology isn't new...
Phenix gold made the cyclone waaaaay back. It sounded good too.
Man that's pretty cool. Makes me have a bunch of ideas
It's been nearly 20 years since I basically had a dream about this machine.
I say basically, because I'd recently, at that time, sold my beloved little standard cab shortbed 4x4 95 Nissan hardbody pickup.
In the dream, I had decided to keep it and attached giant squirrel cage blowers to all four wheel hubs, and table legs to each corner of the truck, and I managed to make it take off and fly when I revved it to high RPMs in 5th gear.
It was a fun dream for awhile. I never worked out the detail on how I'd isolated the orientation of thrust to be downwards. There was no housing diverting the flow, it was all open air like this thing, so I just chalked it up as a stupid dream.
The dream ended as I was trying to figure out how the hell to land it safely, since every time I let off the throttle just a little, it began falling fast. I was getting worried when I woke from it.
It's one of those dreams I've somehow managed to remember through all these years, so this video really excited me to see!
I've had lots of flying dreams as well I would fly objects and even like super man many times apparently it's a sign that we arr astrolprojecting while asleep
Flying like superman is...
If you had this dream, that means it's time for flying cars. There's three just created that are on the market. One has 4 rotors built into the body. Very little room for passengers and gear.
Looks like a true off-road vehicle
"if it ain't broken, don't fix it."
In the 1970s the Royal Canadian Air Force built a couple working flying saucers.
what this thing call.....
Long dong blades.
Just added a pinned comment with information :D It's from a company called Cyclotech
cyclorotor
Did I miss the part where the name of the device is mentioned? or the company name?
Found the info:
Austrian CycloTech technology has succeeded in the eVTOL floating test
equipped with a CycloRotor using Schneider propellers used on ships.
@echgmbh5271 has its own youtube channel
yes.....cyclotech
the craft literally has the name plastered on it. Either youre just blind or just want to complain, sometimes its better to just not say anything, especially if its just cow dung coming out of your mouth
@@user-di5er6uo5ecan't see it on a small screen...maybe use your own advice
You certainly missed the pinned comment with the URL in it
That thing is gonna make engineers cry and make it cost so much
This is what your flying car is going to look like
Cool innovation, but absolutely the wrong person to be presenting it.
Paddles are not new get facts correct
"Too last century" There were aircraft like the Plymouth A-A-2004 that used a smooth rotating cylinder to generate lift in the 1930s. It's called the magnus effect and while not exactly the same as the rotors with blades on this design this is a hybrid between two similarly old technologies
“We’ll have flying cars in the future”
Flying Cars:
"Propellers are just too last century"
*30-06 has entered the chat*
I tried this myself using tower fan blades that are long and cilinder shaped.im extremely impressed that they're trying this out for flight.based on something I tried on a small scale a few years ago,this is so amazing to watch.👍🏻😉😎
This is just the beginning of many new prop designs.
Cool! Now I want one of these as well as the air surfboard. 😊
A new means of turning birds and such, into confetti?! Sign me up, kind Sir!
notice how both videos of this incredibly quiet and efflcient new flying machine does Not have any noise to give that quiet effect.
