Paramotor Thrust Tests in the Parajet Test Cell
Vložit

- In this video we are introduced to the Parajet Test Cell which is a lab at the Parajet factory which accurately measures many different parameters from Thrust to Fuel Mix.
Note: My Paramotor uses a 3 blade e prop and Cynthia's uses a 2 blade Helix. The Helix comes standard with the Parajet Maverick and the E Prop was ordered separately. The main reason I went with the E Prop 3 blade is that it creates a high pitch sound meaning I can record better in flight audio due to frequency separation between my voice and the prop sound. I will do a video about this in the future. The extra thrust is a bonus!

I love that they tested with a harness, cage with netting, etc. The real world numbers were awesome to see!
Science! That is a really cool setup that Parajet has. Cheers Greg and Cynthia!
Wow, thats an impressive test setup. I am amazed that a manufacturer has that level of detail.
Yeah it’s a pretty epic setup they have there!

God has said in the Quran:
{ O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 )
[He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 )
And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 )
But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 )
And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 )

Another informative and entertaining video. Good job Greg, thank you!
Nice! Great experiment. Nothing like having the Parajet factory in your backyard. Just stop by to pick up parts for tuneup and repairs!
Great video lots of usefull information there too.
Very interesting
Thank you
So many wonderful motors lol
Fascinating, I was surprised just how high those engines rev
Yeah those two stroke engines are works of art!
@@GregAnthonyHarris Love the two strokes, unfortunately killed off by emissions regs on my favourite form of transport.
Nice one Greg. Interesting to see real data on the multi blade issue. I’d be interested to see the results for a Moster.
I presume the fuel mixture reading taken from the exhaust probe the test engineer fitted?
I think so yes. I’d like to see results from a moster too. I’d love to run tests on some of the old school Parajet props from the 90’s and compare to todays props. Next time!
I was thinking about putting a 3 blade prop on my atom 80 for extra thrust. Then a couple weeks later you upload this video. Are you a mind reader? Great video as usual.
Yes….yes I am 😎🤣
Awesome video! Can you tell us which prop was quieter? Also which prop caused higher engine temperature?
The two blade is slightly quieter but a lower pitch. The average engine temperature was pretty much the same with both.
Cool vid but I wish they would do this comparison using the moster with 2/3 blade eprops.
Happy to revisit this point next time I’m at the factory 👍 sadly probably won’t be back there for the rest of this year.
Very nice test. but i thought engines were putting out more thrust. because my homemade electric paramotor puts out 53kg of max thrust on lite version and my XT version puts out 60kg of thrust. i am working on a new motor that can put out 77kg to 90kg of thrust. possibly very good to build a paratrike for 2 with that. all clean electric power, less noise, no smoke, maintenance free, and extremely light weight.
These numbers are impressive. What are you run times and what is the weight of the rig at those thrusts?
@@GregAnthonyHarris My customer in USA did 65 minutes of flight with 75V 22AH battery pack. spinning 42 inch prop. max weight he reported was under 24kg. That is the XT version. pilots from 80 to 95kg can take off easily. Currently I (62kg) and my instructor (84kg) we are testing the lite version that puts out max 53kg of thrust. I can take off at half throttle and cruise at 10 - 20% throttle only. My instructor takes off at around 70% Throttle and cruises around at 25-30% throttle. Lite version with batteries and everything is only 18kg heavy. 90kg thrust i can build but its an overkill for me. any mistaken throttle can make me take off vertically making my glider fall behind. In fact I was thinking 2 x 90kg thrust combo, and i will not need a paraglider canopy. I can basically build myself a bi copter to fly around :)
only thing that electric paramotors lack now, is the flight times. but they have many more benefits. like at higher altitude engines won't put out enough power and thrust due to thin air, while electric paramotors will not be affected by that. if a person can carry more batteries for sure they can fly longer. with 90kg thrust motors, we can even build paratrike and carry 40AH to 50Ah batteries to fly over 2 hours or more
My home made paramotor engine of YAMAHA RX115 Made 40kg thrust with 130cm wooden propeller.. i am 70kg body weight and my engine is arround 30 kg. Need your opinion can it take me into air ??
Thanks for sharing. Were these both size 125 ?
Thanks for watching. Yes these were both 125
I know it would vary depending on factors, but what kind of cruise speed would you see at wide open throttle?
Impossible to say sadly as there are too many variables in flight. On the ground on a trike which isn’t connected to a wing I would say the three blade would increase your speed by about 10-15%
@@GregAnthonyHarris Too hard to answer I understand, thanks for the reply. nice test platform.
I gotta say I miss how comfortable my old Maverick harness was. Nothing like a strong trust to get you up! Eh!
🤣
Enjoyed the show tonight!
hello greg. so if i wanted a thrust and fuel test done on my moster my20 how much would it cost please. THUMBS UP GREG
Hi Tony, I’ll message my contact there and get back to you 👍
thank you😊
Hi Tony - it's not something we can offer just yet, but we have plans to offer a wider range of services for this and our other test rigs. We now also have a hypobaric chamber on site where we can test equipment (including paramotors) up to 40,000ft and minus 30 degrees centigrade. Obviously not with normal PPG engines!
@@parajet What I'd like to know is if there is a way to elegantly monitor some of these critical stats on our engines. Tach, CHT, and in particular air/fuel ratio would be amazing!

Sounds like a heavy machine but with the right wing it would. I recommend working with other Paramotorists with experience of different Paramotors. Maybe have me of them test fly it for you first?
Now you have to buy Cynthia a 3-blade prop. LOL
🤦♂️🤣
Please test the Helix Vittorazi 130cm special prop for the Atom80. I think it will be better than the 3-blade-e-prop 125 cm ;-) And it's also a lot cheaper :-D
😂 du Fuchs
CHT of 50 degrees seems way too low? That's not much more than body temperature
It did go higher but wasn’t shown in the edit.
Pretty surprised by that as well since Vito states the head should warmup to 80 before you punch the throttle 😂
I love that Parajet place. Ha Ha mine has more thrust than yours lol.
🤣
You know I was talking about your paramotor vs Cynthia's paramotor thrust? thats what you should have said you know you were thinking it lol.
Computer nothing to see😂
