  • Hello guys, In this video I have designed and built an 80 mm ducted fan and compared the thrust of three propellers i.e 6 Blade, 8 Blade, and 12 Blade. The ducted fan has an 80 mm diameter and is 3D Printed. I am using a 2500 Kv Racerstar BR2207S motor to rotate the propeller.
    Check out the video to check the thrust test of the motor and make one for you.

    I use to fly rc aircraft and tried ductfans a couple times. From what I remember blade pitch has alot to do with thrust. And there are some online calculators to find the appropriate blade pitch and surface area of each blade.
    I also noticed you had an oscillation in the motor sound when running at max setting, that can be caused by a ballance issue or the blades flexing because they are too thin. If a blade can flex then it changes the angle of attack and causes loss of thrust.

    • @MechNinja

      More blade equate to less efficiencies. Check out Shubeler EDF specifications. More blade may give more absolute thrust but not necessarily the most efficiencies which is measured as thrust/power or thrust/current.

    You should always use an odd number of propeller blades, this is preventing symmetrical axial vibration which can cause self destruct...

      I will have a look at it...but my EDF rpm is not enough for the propellers to self destruct and hence they are safe but when I will move on to high kV motor then I will definitely keep in mind....

      many EDF manufacturers disagree--other than it is insignificant, how do you explain the vast number of 10 blade 12 blade 8 blade EDF units

    • @arthurbesnard1536
      @arthurbesnard1536 Před 2 lety +18

      ​@@kenchen704 Probably because it is cheaper to manufacture and vibration is not a problem ?
      Vibration modes on small composite EDF props are very high frequency compared to big one so it much less a problem.
      Remember that it is harder to balance a fan with an odd number of blades but if you don't have advanced equipment to balance it, odd number is not a bad choice. It will not be perfectly balance but will not resonate...
      Prime numbers work best (2-3-5-7-11-13 blades)
      Some Turbofan manufacturer choose even numbers that are not prone to resonance. 2 times a prime number work great because it's the best of the two words, 26, 34 or 46 for example. It's easy to balance, and not prone to resonance. This is why 4 blade is often used for planes that need power. Same for 10 blades EDF (2x5)
      Also, in a turbofan, each row of blades must have a different part count to the next row. They use a different prime number as seed for each row.
      It's a very vast subject full of compromise, but I think for less that 10 blades, prime numbers are a good start for Diy...

    Very nice work. It looks like you made your blade tip incidence 45 degrees, presumably for printability, but this is much too high for efficient static thrust, as it puts too much energy into the exhaust efflux. If you can print it so the tips are more like 25-30 degrees, I think you will see higher thrust, and in that case your design will probably optimize on a different blade count.

      Yes definitely...and current clearance is 1 mm and If I reduce it then blade will start hit the outer casing. Because no matter how round it is, but 3D printed part will try to expand because of centrifugal force on high rpm.

    Static testing might not tell the reasons for using different blade numbers though. Supposedly there are different thrust curves and depending on the speed the aircraft flies, there may be differing efficient operating ranges. (Slower aircraft may benefit from a different blade count than faster ones.)

    • @oz93666
      @oz93666 Před rokem +3

      That's a critical point . To put it in simple terms this test gives the thrust when fan is not moving through the air . So figures are accurate if used in a hovering drone , thrust directed downwards , efectivly no movement , but if fan used on a plane moving through the air at perhaps 50meters/sec the air is already pushed into the fan at that speed and then many blades ( and different blade pitch) may result in higher efficiency ... In an ideal world you will know the speed of your craft and the manufacturer will suply the most efficient fan type.

      @@MechNinja I think the only way to be more accurate is to make a small wind tunnel . This need not be complex , Just a fan or fans and a tube or box section ( perhaps 50cm diameter) so the air is directed onto your ducted fan . the air flow has to be made non turbulent by putting guides in the tube. By varying speed of wind tunnel fan/s you can change speed of air flow and so measure thrust of your ducted fan at different velocities . Supose you have an tunnel air flow of 20meters/sec with no power to your ducted fan it will show a negative thrust Due to drag

      Actually initially I thought of designing it hollow, but since I need a symmetrical design so I have to make it all other four bars identical and hence the cross section area decreases ( the area from where the air will pass ).
      So it will reduce the thrust.....😊😊 So I haven't designed hollow.

    Very nice! By increasing the amount of blades doesn´t mean it will produce more thrust, it will get heavier to spin and you will need more torque and hp. But then again, by increasing the rpm, the 6 blades will probably meet it´s end of map, and by spinning faster over that, more blades may be required, and so on.

    And im kind of wondering is a propeller better than a ducted fan or the other way around

    • @MechNinja
      @MechNinja  Před 2 lety +1

      Both are unique in their own way.....the difference is that... though propeller produced more thrust as compared to EDF, nut EDF takes less surface area ( 3 inch dia ) as compared to propeller ( 6 Inch ).
      We can't use propeller in RC jet plane but we can use EDF because of its smaller size as well as it's mass flow rate of air.
      Hope you get my point.

    • @MechNinja
      @MechNinja  Před 2 lety +1

      Yes I have tested it on 3 blades and In the conclusion part I have said too. Actually the 3 blade propeller was working poorly because the pitch is hight. So in my next video I will reduce the pitch and test it on different propellers......
      Than I will update the result.

  • @555_shoe
    @555_shoe Před 2 lety +1

    You should compare the thrust with the same rpms. The motor brings power of X Watts and this aims to a rpm depending on resistance of the blade system. More resistance --> lower rpm -->less thrust. so I assume you will never get more thrust with the same engine at max rpm an more blades.

    Not sure if anyone’s pointed out or you’ve since discovered the data collected with your thrust calculation rig is incorrect and invalid, but easily corrected without retesting.
    The ideal weight you measured is to low and missing the total weight of the 4 screws used to attach the EDF the arm. So your total thrust calculations are to low seeing that it’s lifting more weight than what’s in your Base data.
    Weigh the 4 screws and add it to your test results to get the correct and higher thrust results.

  • @vincentrobinette1507
    @vincentrobinette1507 Před 6 měsíci

    I'm not surprised. More blades = More leading edges, each of which require motor torque to 'slice' into the air. The ideal number of blades is the most blades that can be used, that will allow each blade to get a "full scoop" of air. More blades means that the total surface area of each blade is NOT being utilized, so there is no gain in thrust. Just more leading edges, to create rotational drag on the motor. With the surface area of each of these blades, I would think the optimum number is 5 or 6 blades.

    You should measure the force at the same distance from the pivot at the motor. The way you measured gives you a higher reading due to the leverage. Nice prints though.

      3.5 cm hardly plays any role due to leverage. Initially I thought to place the string at the center but I don't want to create any obstruction in air flow passage...that's why I have placed it to the nearest point.

    The blades you use are simple fan blades. Is it possible to print blades that are shaped like a propeller? A propeller is shaped like an airfoil and creates a low pressure area in front of the blade that actually sucks the blade forward. You might get an increase in overall thrust with that shape. A three blade propeller would be a good design to start with.
