    I’m an aerospace engineer, fun fact:
    Turbines create thrust not lift. A wing’s curved shape creates lift as it moves through the air. Propeller blades have a similar shape for the same reason.
    Blades in a jet turbine also have the same shape, but they don’t use this to create lift or thrust. Instead, several layers of blades suck in and compress air, which is directed to the combustion chamber and nozzle.

    • @Edmundajw
      @Edmundajw 2 месяца назад +6

      I would argue that the blades are used to create thrust. The compression stage is a necessary part of the thrust making process. The thrust is of course a way to describe the mass flow rate out of the engine - but this is the result of combustion, caused by compressed air and fuel, caused by the compression stage, caused by the blades.

      It seems extremely inefficient. Four rotors verses one main rotor and a tail rotor, and lots of drag, is another negative. It failed in the early 20th century. It is still a fun project.

    Jet engines dont create lift. They provide thrust so that the wings with sufficient airspeed create lift
    Edit:
    Ladies and Gentlemen I thought it need not be said that this was a generalized statement as in general and civil aviation the primary lift generating component at cruise the wings generate the lift.
    Of course the thrust generating component has a force in the direction it is pointing, so if you direct your thrust downwards yes tour thrust will be producing more upwards force on the craft.
    This generalization is very common form of abstraction to simplify the model. Of course all models are wrong but some models are useful. It is general8zed at cruise in general and civil aviation where AOA is very small the thrust component is not producing much lift so the wings are the main lift generating component, so the statement engines don't create lift, the wings do that with airspeed is not entirely correct, it is also not flat wrong. Like how staing electricity takes the path of least resistance is wrong as electricity takes everypath with current proportionate to the inverse of resistance in said path; but that makes modeling complicated so we say electricity takes the path of least resistance, it is not entirely correct it is also not wrong.

    Limited design functionality and likely inefficient. Standard propeller has been used for so long because the are the most efficient. In regards to noise, less noise is produced because the “blades” are not creating “resonate pressure differentials” frame or stationary frame components. This can be corrected by offsetting the blade spacing. Auto manufacturers have been doing this for years to lower cooling fan noise.
    Also how you are you to control yaw? Yaw it typically controlled by increasing or decreasing motor speed. This change in interia allows for the craft to rotate about it yaw axis. However, in the design you have shown the rotational axis on the motor is perpendicular to that of the frame which would like yield a roll or pitch effect.

    • @autisticreatard7848
      @autisticreatard7848 7 месяцев назад +3

      each rotor is able to move in 4 directions so in order to yaw all it would need to do is have 1 rotor move back on one side and have 1 rotor move forward on the otherside also with other drones they use inertia but with things like helicopters they have a colective in the tail rotor witch pitches up or down to creator more or less counter torque and yaw the helicopter coaxial rotor helicopters pitch on set of blades up at a time to create drag and yaw the reason they done just lower the speed of their rotors is because it would be slow due to inertia

      The internal blades change orientation as the "wheel" turns so that, in effect, two blades are always lifting while the other two don't contribute.

      Im pretty sure that's entirely different area as satellites don't fly and are launched into space, on a rocket and when they reach space, the satellite is released. There's no gravity or air in space, so there's no need for a satellite to have rotors or propellers. There's nothing for them to propel themselves with. They would have small rocket boosters to push them around if needed. Otherwise they just float, stuck in the earth's magnetic field, going round and round.

    It's been nearly 20 years since I basically had a dream about this machine.
    I say basically, because I'd recently, at that time, sold my beloved little standard cab shortbed 4x4 95 Nissan hardbody pickup.
    In the dream, I had decided to keep it and attached giant squirrel cage blowers to all four wheel hubs, and table legs to each corner of the truck, and I managed to make it take off and fly when I revved it to high RPMs in 5th gear.
    It was a fun dream for awhile. I never worked out the detail on how I'd isolated the orientation of thrust to be downwards. There was no housing diverting the flow, it was all open air like this thing, so I just chalked it up as a stupid dream.
    The dream ended as I was trying to figure out how the hell to land it safely, since every time I let off the throttle just a little, it began falling fast. I was getting worried when I woke from it.
    It's one of those dreams I've somehow managed to remember through all these years, so this video really excited me to see!
