Mine seems dim too

it has a coin cell battery

Both props were used at max throttle.

@@astirtech Toroidal propellers were in fact, proven to have no significant advantages. Producing less thrust, being heavier, slower, and in some cases louder.

@@Revon-Feuer Thats why the video title is "testing" not "manufacturing all drones with toroidal props" . This one is heavy had has rough finish because of SLA printing. Though different materials and manufacturing will give different results. From what I have researched these props are significantly quieter than regular propellers. Through they produce a bit less thrust.

@@Revon-Feuer And I am not sure where you get your source of information from but it has never been louder in any case. So I think most of your knowledge is just based on assumptions rather than experimentation (Which I did and have shared in this video)

@@astirtech They rotate slower: Less noise. Thats not impressive.

The normal propeller is slower

Project avaialble for purchase. If you are interested send an email to Contact@astirtech.com

this is not a finalized design and it is specifically designed for Pluto drone. You can find editable files on grabCAD

@@astirtech can u pls send link

I used Ender 3 and ePLA to print this. But it is not smooth or stable for flight, SLA printer would do a better job.

There is always a little delay when it comes to wireless communication

toroidal

That's right

One key feature on toroidals is they are quiet, less thrust but quiet

But noise to thrust ratio, toridal has better thrust

Yes it does

If you fdm printed it sand it down and put some nail polish it and it so its smoother

@@Catsrule1132 yeah i did that and there is almost no noise at all

You can also vapor treat it😊

Yes I agree that is a terrible print. Though I believe the arm is capable of delivering a better print I think the result was more of user error. And we cant really compair a robotic arm with a 3D printer which is specifically made to print.

I am sure they already have talented engineers who are working on it

These are premade kits with good quality hardware and software which helps understand and learn about robotics. Building a similar arm with same quality and software will cost more and consume a lot of time. especially if the person is still learning and doesn't have all the expertise and tools

Yes

This is just the first test video, haven't made any others. This prop still has many issues. I am working on it.

It doesn't give equal thrust, but that could be because of multiple reasons. Firstly the prop is heavier as it is 3D printed. And secondly it is not perfectly smooth. So we are still experimenting with it for this perticular drone. Though people have successfully used toroidal props on other medium sized drones successfully.

No, the toroidal propeller produces more thrust for a given speed and therefore it's faster

We haven't published the files yet as it is not fully tested. But you can find references to a toroidal prop on thingiverse which you can then edit to your liking.

Has like 3 times the lift area tho

I believe $120 is the price for the subscription pack. the individual kit would be cheaper and this is a kit for makers and hobbyists to learn. Neural DSP is more of a professional kit for musicians

@AstirTech sounds like me. Thanks for the correction brother. Happy NY!

@AstirTech yeah you can get vocoder effects that can be controlled with an expression pedal I believe.

Lol I just got sent to this video from their Amazon store which has 8 units left on prime shipping and it's July 2023, months before the anticipated September launch. Everyone thinks everything that looks cool is a scam these days. This kinda crap is why we have to lock our front doors these days. Paranoia; coming to a block near near you sometime real soon.

Yes, I understand. Though it can do a lot, I am no musician. I tried to make beats using it but couldn't do a very good job. And to test its other features I do not have musical instruments. And I guess that is the case with most of the other makers who got the kit.

Agree. Wtf does this even sound like

Thank you

Bad video. No test

You can purchase it from the following link: amzn.to/3E0Zj1q

These mini arms are primarily for educational purposes. Students can't get hands on actual industrial robotic arms and these products help give a real life experience at a compact and cheaper price.
