Building a full scale flying Delorean Part 1: Making the bodywork

Ғылым және технология

This is the first part of the full scale flying Delorean project where I make the complete bodywork out of EPS foam with the help of my ABB IRB6400 robot.
After I got my robot to work again (see video here: • Turning a broken 2 ton... ) I was looking for a first project i could make with it. At first I thought about building a type of sports car (maybe tesla roadster or similar) but then saw the "Back To The Future" movie again one night and thought that would be a great project as well. The model would be made out of EPS foam so it would even be light enough to maybe fly. So i started designing the model and did some calculations and it turns out to be actually feasable.
So the first part of the project is complete and the properties closely match the properties of the 3D-model, The 3D-model has a calculated weight of 13.940kg and the real life model has a weight of 13.890kg, which is only of few grams difference.

    So you're gonna put the fans in the front and the back areas of the body and obscure them with louvers? That’s really cool! That’s the same conclusion i came to all the times I've thought about how to do this. Glad to see someone have the money and motivation to do it! I'd love for it to be possible to put them in the wheels and have that be the source of lift but there's no way i can think of unless the whole body was insanely light and you put maybe 4 micro rc turbines in each wheel or something. Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out!
