  • Turning an object in space can be a bit tricky because there's nothing for it to push against. Thankfully the laws of physics do have a useful caveat that makes aiming a satellite possible without using up all of your fuel in the process.

    As a fellow kerbal fan, I never knew how they truly worked in real life. This is exactly the type of informative video I was searching for, so thank you!

    Magnetorquer for your next project & vid? You could use it to desaturate the reaction wheel, perhaps... Loved the little Easter egg at the end!

      Haha, I was waiting for someone to ask for that! I'm actually thinking that a pair of control moment gyros might be an interesting project.

    clear demonstration! easy to understand.your demo is really delicate and reveal the theory of how to controll a satilite.Really useful!

    Man, I though you have 1 million subs already. You deserve at least 1 million subs

      Thanks, that’s nice of you to say. Tell your friends I guess 😆

    Brilliant video! Best demonstration of reaction wheels I’ve seen yet.

    Very interesting. I had no idea how this worked. Thank you

    If i am trying to balance in say the x or the y axis would the motor also rotate in the same direction and change speed only, say for example if i want to to maintain 45 deg around the x axis and also should the other 2 motors be running ?

    Reaction Wheels!
    I wish there was a mlre complex way to despin them

    Is there a tutorial available about how to build this project

    Great video. TY for all your effort. You may find the ESP32 a better option than Arduino.

    Hey, Im trying to replicate this for a home project, but I cant quite get the reaction wheel code to work. Would you be able to link the code you used in a github or something like that?
    GREAT VIDEO BTW!!

    how are you measuring the angular velocity of the reaction wheel?

    • @Thumblegudget
      @Thumblegudget  Před 2 lety

      That’s an easy one to answer: I’m not. What I’m doing is controlling the rotation speed of the brushless motor using the speed controller. The controller cycles the coils in the motor at a certain, controlled, rate and that’s the speed of the wheel.
