      When things were at their very worst:
      2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
      Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
      Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
      After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
      Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
      - will seem to rise from the dead
      - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
      One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
      Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
      "Arab uprising will spark global unrest - Italy will trigger fall out"
      "The time for the schism in the Church is almost here and you must get prepared now."

    I would highly suggest adding some sort of protection for the user. Like a lightweight wall between the motors and the user. I fear someone can be basically stabbed with shrapnel from any motor blades if there is some sort of catastrophe. You have to think like this. If one motor destroys their blades, those blades can cause a chain reaction of damage in other motors. That’s a lot of shards to throw at the back of a user.

    Four things you could improve. Although the last is more of a guess than an estimate.
    1. Remove the middle vertical row of motors and props, they won't be as effective as your body blocks much of the airflow.
    2. Use 25% larger props and engines (but with just the 2 vertical rows on each side)
    3. Make ducts with a hexagon exterior and then you can have a more ridged frame and possibly a better more compact motor layout.
    4. Add a slight (+ or - 10%) steering channel and have the right or left motors spin up or down slightly to give you better directional control?

    You may not know this, but brushless PWM motors have an optimal speed/blade pitch for differing densities. If you run them at their peak operating point per fan curve data, you can switch on and off fan banks and a constant RPM/pitch angle and optimize your current use for the same thrust, thus giving you longer run time on the same batteries. This is one of the reasons modern prop airplanes have both adjustable prop pitch and rpm.

    • @up4open763
      @up4open763 Před 2 lety

      I thought the same thing. As I go through the landings, I wonder if that doesn't make a danger to you or the craft if you fall. To reduce damage possibility to the blade frame you could gap, covered or uncovered, the ducts on sides as they reach the fans, to allow some pinch movement, with some risk of other things or personal parts getting pinched. I was also thinking put the fans in a vertical halo form, and just gapping behind him, but then I think you're risking running into size difficulties and controlling the chute when transitioning.

      @@david7384 I had seen them but they're a different design. The entire fan is used in that design, even when there is muting of the airflow behind the body, because the blades are flanking and above as well in their cycle. Those engines directly behind are only always pulling around the body, and that seems to us to reduce their efficiency, I believe for the drag across the torso.

    Great video - the mattress is interesting :) I fly with electric motors and I can advise. The engines directly behind your seat are not efficient because you are unknowingly creating a closed system (it's about the same as blowing your mouth into the sailboat you're sailing on) and some sort of "confusor" on every engine doesn't really help. The classic paramotor with one large propeller does not have this problem, because its blades extend beyond the profile of the seat and there is no thrust in the center of the propeller. You have only two options - move your propeller "mattress" far back, or reduce the number of engines to 2 with higher power, which will be spaced apart to a larger spacing of your back (the diameter of one propeller should be 28 "). Both propellers should rotate against each other - it eliminates the gyro effect.No "confusors" or two propellers on one axis of the engine, because it has no noticeable effect. :)

    • @JaredConnell

      @DL-kc8fc Před 2 lety

      @@ChessMasterNate In practice, this is done by placing the propeller with an electric motor on a rod 0.75 m long behind the pilot's back. This propeller has folding blades like an umbrella, which expands by centrifugal force when the electric motor is switched on. In the motorless flight mode, the propeller folds down again like an umbrella thanks to the spring. In the case of a "mattress", it would be necessary to relieve it of the unnecessary things I mentioned somewhere and, of course, to move it away from the pilot's back (if he insisted on his concept). The partial rotation of the pilot to the right and left, as I noticed in the video, is due to the higher center of gravity, so something in this direction would have to change to prevent this. The pilot of a classic paramotor must be able to cope with the gyro effect of his propeller, so it is again up to the pilot and his experience.

    Peter, I can't wait to see version 2 of your electric paramotor. I've thought a lot about building an electric paramotor and I really think two counter rotating props is the way to go. That way you wouldn't need to worry about designing in torque steer correction into the frame. You should consider watching the "Insights Into Paramotor Geometry" series that Miro (creator of Scout Paramotors) released on the Scout Aviation CZcams channel.

    Also awesome to be surprised with the Tucker collab!
    Silly extra credit idea for the next build:
    Tune the PVM for each motor at the controller or through an intermediary controller that selects motors speeds from a hash table of specified frequencies. So that at different throttle positions the motors are making harmonious tones rather than wheezy whines. With so many motors it should be possible to have some mega lush tones that would blow peoples minds.
    Extra Extra credit:
    Make the motors play music.
    This would be the same way people get their scanners to play music only scaled up to all of the motors. If appropriate songs are selected within the proper frequency range that overlaps with the frequency range of the motors maximum power output the contraption should be able to fly while playing music at the same time....
    maybe...
    at least it sounds great on paper :)
