Awesome Daniel! Yeah upgrade those wires! I ended up using. 6GA wires for all my harnesses and 8MM bullets for the connectors! Everything else would be at the limit! Keep it up and stay safe!
I feel that we are almost there, though. I enjoy 10-15 minute flight times on my "Sunny Motor" DIY electric paramotor. It only cost $1200/1500 with batteries and if I was willing to spend $2000 total on it, I am sure that 30+ minutes flight times would be easily achieved.
Yep i get 30mins flight time easy ruclips.net/video/IvmQbtxeKuE/видео.html the small trade of in flight time is worth the significant weight reduction.
We are almost there. Carbon batteries should make a big difference on weight and energy density in the next few years. SRMs are also much lighter than BLDC motors and arguably more efficient depending on your controller.
Fun/dangerous project. I designed, built and fly my own RC parts paramotor. I recommend that you double check your figures to make sure that your batteries, wire gauges, connectors etc are all up to the huge amperage requirements. You really need a smooth hoop around the props with nothing sticking up to catch lines. You should not even have a zip tie sticking up. On mine, I slit some polyethylene pipe lengthwise and placed it over my hoop to cover the zip ties.
Paramotor pilot here! You need a round cage with no grabbing points. That's a must for getting those risers to come up nicely! I'm posting this into our community lol. Edit: I highly suggest that you work with the paramotoring community to make this work and do it safely. There are more flaws than what I first pointed out and you do need training because there is a ton wrong with technique here. I suggest checking out the scout paramotor channel design videos. Well wishes if you continue!
"There are more flaws than what I first pointed out" This pos IS NOTHING but FLAWS! It's like it was designed by a mental defective or a little child! I wonder if he even knows what a "hang point" is!
It's very interesting to see the trials and tribulations. Thank you VERY MUCH for not cutting your issues out of the video. Too many people only show the perfect situations and don't show all the steps that lead up to their success. They're just trying to show off instead of actually showing progress. APPRECIATED!
As a paragliding pilot of 35 years, my advice is don’t give up, you’ll make it if you try hard enough. If you try hard enough you cannot possibly fail! You have the best early type of inspiration I’ve seen yet, go for it.
7:17 "so I was just pulling so much POWEEEEEERRR" What's the thrust of the 12x drone motors compared to the original paramotor setup????? Pleeeeease don't give up this project, we will LOVE watch you + I'm absolutely sure you'll have so much fun and love that too hahaaa ohhh yeaaahhh
Finally, someone who has gotten away from conventional single engine rationale! Nice job. How did you figure out how many and how large of motors to use? Do you know how much thrust you are getting from each motor? Again, it is a pleasure seeing someone thinking outside of the ‘traditional’ methods.
Alishanmao did this with one big motor. There are also similar electric paramotors at the light aircraft show in Germany this year. All single prop, single motor. They also spaced the prop back away from the motor to the rear. Not sure why, but that's the trend. I'm a PPG pilot here in Utah.
Glad to see you still making content for your channel. You are brave, not only for putting your experiments on your back, but for sharing the process with everyone. Most people would only show the finished product.
Electric is the future of paramotoring! We need something refined like a DJI drone with a easily charged and swappable battery! Hope to build one myself someday if not available. Fun project to watch but a round cage would be much better! Have you flown gas motors before?
I can’t believe how much you’ve accomplished in your young life. I recall the first video that I saw from your channel; You flew a homemade plane out of your bedroom window, FPV style. You’re an amazing young man, with an amazing future ahead of you. Way to go!!
This was one of your most genuine, funny videos! I hope it continues with more success. You and Samm Sheperd should work together at some point, his design was cool.
nice man !! I dont even understand why someone would dislike this because its learning as well as innovation and this kids so smart .. I love hearing him think so i can then think in terms of solutions and making things better and work instead of just hating lie humanity does ... negativity and pessimism has taken ppl over turning em into sad sad ppl . go play ppl !!
My God, you've come so very far and you're fearless, Thanks for the videos. I hope you end up wherever you wish! You are lucky that they aren't molded into you back, permanently!
David, why do you think that? ruclips.net/video/3tbF83QRtgI/видео.html Electric motors are far more reliable and lighter than gas engines and they do the same thing. If a motor stops, you just glide to the ground. No more 'stupid' than wearing a gas engine. The only advantage of a gas motor at the moment is they can use the higher energy density of gasoline, even if they are only 30% efficient. Electric motors are about 90% efficient, cost much less, last longer and need almost zero maintenance and batteries can be charged anywhere, even by solar panels.
Andy Lee Robinson Tucker flies a scout paramotor that is manufactured , tested , licensed! Top of the line reliable equipment.... Then this guy builds an electric paramotor.. nothing wrong with that.. except this guy apparently knows nothing about paramotors. His frame joints are snag points for his lines.. the concept is great , This guy in s trying to re invent the wheel, when the wheel run fine already.. I just don't think you'd ever get Tucker to fly this contraption, when. He takes so much care in his scout to be safe.. not flying when it's to windy.. First thing this guy needs is training!! With a good gas paramotor..
I agree, the only issues I see with this are the snag points which are only relevant when getting the wing up, and the hopelessly underrated cabling. All easily fixed. Other than that, if it pushes, it'll work. If not, then it'll glide. Still, check out the link I posted for a better design, rather than Daniel's bolt-on see-if-this-drone-will-work thing!
Mate you cannot give up on this. You have massive support from Peter, Flighttest, electricbike, rinoa, cody, dutchrc, rc pi and the legions of fans.. Keep at it mate, it will be worth it in the end. Id go a round frame. Maybe send a PM to Tucker Gott
Yeh, you're going to want to use screw-down patch connectors. Solder's just not doing to hold up to the heat. I really like this kind of innovative thinking. Was awesome to see an electric paramotor taking flight. Congrats, and thanks for the video.
Yes! Keep going! Super fun to see you paraglide too, and pushing things with electric. I’d look at a higher voltage, lower current 18650 battery based system. Look at what’s available with E-Bikes for batteries- they’re pushing us heavy humans around for many dozens of miles with a couple hundred dollars 0.5 - 1 kWh packs.
18650s are much heavier than LiPos (thanks to the metal casing) and much less compact (packing cylinders rather than cuboids). Not what you want for an aircraft at all.
I'd be using quality and proven connectors such as Andersen Power Poles. From the views I saw it looks like the parachute lines come perilously close to the unshrouded propellers. Chicken wire? Would one larger motor be more efficient than six small ones?
Im curious about how many watt-hours it takes for flying. just for comparison my electric bicycle takes 12 watt-hours per mile at 12mph, and like double that at 20mph. if your machine doesnt use many watt-hours to go a mile, your 1kwh battery could last quite a bit.
Rinoa Super-Genius this electric paramotors are so power hungry. 1kw hour may last you 15 mins at cruise and a lot more at take off. It consume a lot more than your ebike
Yeah i figured that, but i didnt want to make assumptions. still i think its more promising than petrol powered ones since you could expand the battery and even get more efficient chemical to electrical conversion if you keep it under 1c draw. plus who knows what technologies like sodium-ion cells will be available in the future.
You need at least 1kw just to counter the 200 fpm min sink rate just to keep floating. It is for 100kg take off weight and ideal 100% efficient props and electrics. If you want to be able to climb at 200 fpm and the total efficiency of the system is 50%, which is more realistic, then you'll need at least 4kw of power. So, yeah, 1kwh will give you roughly one quoter of an hour of flight time.
great video! try a round cage with no grabbing points and also pull the A's more to take the paraglider off the ground on takeoff, everything will be easier. looking forward to the next video!
Hey man! I've been slowly getting together the stuff to build an electric paramotor. I'm still not 100% sure on the motors I'll need. Any way I could find out a little more about which motors you're using?
Hey dude been following your stuff for quite a while now, came from RC too! Don't give up the dream! I want to build one myself as I just do freeflight at the moment and want to do power but not internal combustion. However, please do it properly, get a decent wing and groundhandle it as much as you can. Also don't know how much bench testing you did but might be worth doing some more before going out in the field and try it and finding out you'll pulling too much current or something like that. I'll defo be trying this mysel. Keep it up!
I really think you need to revisit this one. Paramotoring is freakin incredible, and you obviously possess both the necessary skills as well as resources to actually make some advancement with electric paramotors, which we need to finally make them become a real thing! And sooner rather than later would be good as well!!!
How much you got thrust? and how much would be adequate ? I like this system configuration since it is not that dangerous like one big prop. But isn't big props more efficient ?
Don't scrap it man! Keep goin! You got this far! I also want to see more! It's funny, I have the same color Mescal 4, and I'm just itching to build my own electric multi-rotor motor as well. Just keep it safe, fix the obvious, and be smart. Regardless, don't scrap it! Keep going!
I look forward to electric paramotor flight and best wishes on your testing...but I highly recommend training before flying. It all seems easy until something challenges your flying skills. A suggestion might be to use an existing light frame such as a Miniplane and see if you can adapt your setup (this is what I fly). Take care up there!
Its a lot lighter than a para-motor full of gas. Whats the range of a para-motor that is full of gas vs your electric one? Or whats the weight of yours with enough batteries to have the range of the gas one?
Also the gas engine re-build after 100 hours turns me RIGHT OFF. Why not fly into thermals. That's the only way I fly. They are everywhere, just hafta pick the AM and learn a bit.
Looking great. Upgrade those wires to at least the same gauge as the main leads coming out of the battery keep all wires as short as reasonable and with as few connectors as possible. This is a perfect case for electric as the load is light and the power requirement can be somewhat intermittent. Please don't give up you're on the verge of something awesome!

PeterSripol dude, you are a hero! And Daniel too of course
Can share your speed control? Interesting...
DAddy
PeterSripol all my favorite RUclipsrs in one place.. Awesome!
would love a collab between you guys
“I’ve never flown a paramotor before, so a prototype is a great way to learn, I’m just gonna run into the freeway.” I love this channel
mango hahaha
Best way to actually learn anything
that could easily have been dangerous... I mean tape and landing with the wind like that. What makes the most sence for batteries polymer or ions?
Terrifying but awesome! Electric is the future of the sport, batteries just aren’t quite there to enjoy reasonable flight times. Stay safe!
I feel that we are almost there, though. I enjoy 10-15 minute flight times on my "Sunny Motor" DIY electric paramotor. It only cost $1200/1500 with batteries and if I was willing to spend $2000 total on it, I am sure that 30+ minutes flight times would be easily achieved.
10-15 minutes gets you off the ground but not any altitude to enjoy a true flight experience. Have you seen Ali's rig? Awesome.
*Dance the Skies*
Yep i get 30mins flight time easy ruclips.net/video/IvmQbtxeKuE/видео.html the small trade of in flight time is worth the significant weight reduction.
We are almost there. Carbon batteries should make a big difference on weight and energy density in the next few years. SRMs are also much lighter than BLDC motors and arguably more efficient depending on your controller.

Cool a couple of para pro's - this guy is just having fun LOL
Robert Durbin ground work also
I think youtuber Tucker Gott might be a great person to contact in this case. :)
It's very interesting to see the trials and tribulations. Thank you VERY MUCH for not cutting your issues out of the video.

great job! a round cage helps a lot in getting the wing up.
what if the battery/ESC catches fire in the air? any quick release for them to drop off
Probably blow away. But the battery is littium an HARD to put out
Paragliders require to have a second shute where i'm from, can always use that if you're worried about fires.
modern batteries don't just catch fire when abused. they can go pop. big pop
7:17 "so I was just pulling so much POWEEEEEERRR"
What's the thrust of the 12x drone motors compared to the original paramotor setup?????
Pleeeeease don't give up this project, we will LOVE watch you + I'm absolutely sure you'll have so much fun and love that too hahaaa ohhh yeaaahhh
ElectricBike ooohhhhhh Yeeeh Maaaan, heee caaaant stooppp nowwwwwww!!!! :-) love your work mate lol cheers
There WAS no original paramotor setup. He had a paraGLIDER, and he used the frame and motors from a hexacopter to MAKE a motorized paraglider.
Someone lend this man a wing...
I hope to see you fly again with all batteries and new power cables
Finally, someone who has gotten away from conventional single engine rationale! Nice job. How did you figure out how many and how large of motors to use? Do you know how much thrust you are getting from each motor? Again, it is a pleasure seeing someone thinking outside of the ‘traditional’ methods.
When you fell backwards during testing, didn't it smash the props or damage the motors?
Awesome vid! Nothing quite like testing a prototype out by flying in it. I can't wait to see when you get this mastered.
I actually clapped my hands when you took off for the first time!
Alishanmao did this with one big motor. There are also similar electric paramotors at the light aircraft show in Germany this year. All single prop, single motor. They also spaced the prop back away from the motor to the rear. Not sure why, but that's the trend. I'm a PPG pilot here in Utah.

an idiot never quits. sometimes quitting or regrouping is the best plan
Electric is the future of paramotoring! We need something refined like a DJI drone with a easily charged and swappable battery! Hope to build one myself someday if not available. Fun project to watch but a round cage would be much better! Have you flown gas motors before?
Safety - 10 outof 10! XD
In every single detail or action. Safety just everywhere!
Daniel, I’ve been watching you for years. You are a genius, and have balls as big as church bells.
Oh man, its there, just power issue, this is going to work , don't scrap this.
I can’t believe how much you’ve accomplished in your young life.

YOU, Sir, are a HERO!
Wow, all the nerds are here in the comment zone, awesome. Daniel, you got a new subber. Love innovators.
This channel will never cease to amaze me
Karma is bad...only bad.
So much for the quiet serenity of gliding in the air.
Keep going please! Started paragliding myself, would love to DIY a paramotor =)
1 vote for keep going. Try and make it as efficient as possible
Thanks for showing what goes wrong as well as what works it helps other from making the same error.
nice man !! I dont even understand why someone would dislike this because its learning as well as innovation and this kids so smart .. I love hearing him think so i can then think in terms of solutions and making things better and work instead of just hating lie humanity does ... negativity and pessimism has taken ppl over turning em into sad sad ppl . go play ppl !!
Awesome idea! Once the frame is reconfigured it will be great to see the progress!
I think you have just created a new way of doing paramotor business!
"rctestflight", you are a champion. Good work man.
Huge props for being an adventurer.
My God, you've come so very far and you're fearless, Thanks for the videos. I hope you end up wherever you wish! You are lucky that they aren't molded into you back, permanently!
When is the sequel to this coming out?
Tucker Gott has got to see this...
I'm sure he'd also like to try it out too!
Andy Lee Robinson He probably has too much respect for human life (His own) to be messing with home made aircraft.
Andy Lee Robinson Tucker's not that stupid
David, why do you think that?

Yes sir, current command haha :)
Been a sub for forever and I can’t tell you the last time one of your videos was in my feed.great video,hopefully they get in my feed more

I am following in your footsteps my good sir! you read my mind at each turn
Maybe find someone who actually knows what they're doing first ok 👍
This is so bad ass. Cant wait for the day electric paramotors are efficient enough for long flights.
Jesus Christ, stay safe buddy, you're amazing!
Damn, you are amazing and insane man.
Yes! Keep going! Super fun to see you paraglide too, and pushing things with electric. I’d look at a higher voltage, lower current 18650 battery based system.

Not what you want for an aircraft at all.
Awesome dude!!! Hope you get it working!!
Well done, keep up the good work
Oh man... you've leveled up! Nice video!
Crazy jealous! Keep it up! Your 90% there. Spend the money and get a good wing. Way to close to success to call it quits now.
the first 90% is as easy as the last 10% is hard
What of you hooked it up where you could use an solor panel during the day to keep the batteries charged while you fly
so awesome!!! you are a madman!!!!
驚くばかり！
トルクなし、クラッチなし！
それは素晴らしいです！
was this out at the south end of the Salt Lake?
I'd be using quality and proven connectors such as Andersen Power Poles. From the views I saw it looks like the parachute lines come perilously close to the unshrouded propellers. Chicken wire?
Would one larger motor be more efficient than six small ones?
Im curious about how many watt-hours it takes for flying. just for comparison my electric bicycle takes 12 watt-hours per mile at 12mph, and like double that at 20mph. if your machine doesnt use many watt-hours to go a mile, your 1kwh battery could last quite a bit.

Looks very cool, but how do you keep the lines from tangling a prop?
Awesome! I think you should definitely keep going with this, you've gone this far!
great video! try a round cage with no grabbing points and also pull the A's more to take the paraglider off the ground on takeoff, everything will be easier. looking forward to the next video!

How long does the battery last? How much mAh does it have? Awesome!
amazing , keep working on it , GO FOR IT !!!!
That was awesome dude. Great job.
You got balls bro be safe and happy flying
your crazy yet inspiring !
I'd like to say play safe but your definately pushing those boundaries :)

Creative and Brave man!
Great video
Whats the Price of the build?
I'm interested as well, what you had into it. Great idea!
He said he was an intern at Freefly when he built this, so it may have been ridiculously low.
Seems you want to use about 400Amps through AWG8? :)
GO For It Daniel ! ! !
Very cool dude good content as usual keep it up
Calen Albert! Awesome!
Excellent idea 👍🙂
Would those wires not have gotten hot if you had the 3rd and 4th batteries connected?
How much you got thrust? and how much would be adequate ? I like this system configuration since it is not that dangerous like one big prop. But isn't big props more efficient ?

Very cool start.
woah new camera? Quality is amazing.
your ideas are awesome
2:31 pretty much sums up your channel. So great man. I'm a little concerned about your safety though lol.
The batteries are lighter than an engine? Does that weight include an emergency shoot?
Awesome Daniel! !
that is COOL ! dont stop with it :)
How do you power it?
Its a lot lighter than a para-motor full of gas. Whats the range of a para-motor that is full of gas vs your electric one? Or whats the weight of yours with enough batteries to have the range of the gas one?
Also the gas engine re-build after 100 hours turns me RIGHT OFF. Why not fly into thermals. That's the only way I fly. They are everywhere, just hafta pick the AM and learn a bit.
