Basic Propeller Theory

This video touches on the basic physics associated with how propellers produce thrust via momentum transfer. A small drone is used in experiments to reinforce the concepts discussed. The content is geared towards students studying basic physics. Advanced content will be available at LabRat Scientific.com.

Great and understandable explanation.

Nice video ......considering that how actuator disc is obtained from actual propeller and the swept area is not brought out by other videos this is a great video

[@shivamchaurasiya1716]

Awesome knowledge and experiments sir

[@abdelalimdebilou3238]

Awesome explanation thank you

[@anisamvarghese]

Nice Demonstration.

[@shivamchaurasiya1716]

Pls make another video about drone structure and arm and frame length calculation

Graet explaination

[@lukasaichberger7243]

Great video. I am wondering what happens if one puts the reaction plate above the props. Does the drone still fly?🤔

[@RolynRoseOfficial]

My guess is no, the actuator plate needs to be continuously lifted into still air in order to accelerate and gain momentum. Blocking or restricting the airflow on top will prevent the drone from gaining any lift after that first push of air.
