Hey Jay, you should team up with one (or all) of these guys on an ionic wind powered plane! Or maybe realize Tesla's dream of a plane powered wirelessly by a massive DRSSTC. If anyone can do it it's you. If you do the latter make sure get Integza in on that somehow. I feel like he might not forgive you otherwise. 🤣

You can learn to walk without falling if you're held up and protected... but it takes longer and you learn less. I love seeing someone earn their success. Love the "back to the drawing board" mentality. Much respect.

You don’t have a horizontal stabilizer. You made essentially a flying wing with no ailerons or elevator. Very cool that’s you’re trying to make something cool and seems like you had a lot of fun doing it.

@ledocteur7701

Yeah, the fact is, you made the job really hard for yourself by not just replacing the airfoils of a fixed wing aircraft, but also chucking the stabilizing features including dihedral and empennage. You also induced a counterproductive moment with your propeller position. Nevertheless, you made it fly...bravo!

I love your content. That was a great idea. These magnus effect 'aircraft' are never easy. Excellent work!!!!

Great to see that thing finally flying - looks great. You're excitement says it all!

Its supper cool that you made the correct analysis of the flaws and good corrections that worked! proper application of the scientific method!

Nice job James! Keep pushing the edge. I love your creativity, ingenuity and persistence, that's an excellent formula for success. Love your channel and I recommend to all of my younger engineering friends and colleagues as a good example of how to get things done. Once again, well done!

Hey Man, felt a real pleasure seeing u succeed, keep this going on.

Of all the aerodynamic principles out there, the Magnus effect spins me out the most. 😉

One of the most unusual craft I've seen in a very long time. Good job.

Awesome, glad to see it fly at the end !

Man that's awesome! I would recommend making the tubes slightly dihedral to make it more horizontally stable and a fixed vertical stabilizer so it'll move in a much more straight direction. Cheerios!

Great engineering mindset! Just keep going ;) This is an absolutely amazing project. I find that effect still totally fascinating!

Your tenacity is inspiring! :)

Great job on the build, and the video!👍👌 Looking forward to the next installment!!

Seems like a bit of the 'pendulum fallacy' may still be in play. Perhaps a few degrees of 'dihedral' in the axles would help stability in the roll axis.

thank you very much for doing this. feels great to see it fly on that last attempt

Thank you so much for showing your whole process. This is a great show of design mind set that failure is not a bad things. I see to many young people give up when they fail thinking they have lost. Failing and failing fast is key to learning new skills you will in time have a massive win. So to those in school or those learning a new skill, if your not failing your not learning anything new. Keep up your great work.

Well Done 😎👍👍

Does the speed of the rotors change the lift characteristics? If so, you could have a small "tail rotor" that you vary the speed of as an elevator.

I wonder if there is a more efficent fuselage /body design. I've seen petersripol swap the wings for the magnus rotors on a normal plane design, and i've also seen a video of a drone with four magnus effect rotors on a drone instead of propelers. I wonder if there's a middle ground, wich has both controlability and stability.

@rcbif101

My most recent design is stable and has landing gear for takeoff and landing.

I like this! Nice catch on the thrust point being too low. Have you tried having the prop be a 'pusher' orientation? I'm curious if that would give smoother air over the rollers to help their effectiveness, or if the thrust from the prop actually makes them work better due to the air it throws over them.

Awesome effort. It was fun to watch fly.

Amazing work flying this thing..cool video

Noob here so pardon me if my question is dumb. Any thoughts on spinning the two drums separately and varying their relative speeds to help manage yaw/pitch? Like I mentioned my understanding of all this is limited so I'm not sure which axis this would impact more.

@williamchamberlain2263

2 жыл бұрын

Roll/bank/turn, or yaw - I think. Pitch would be spinning both faster/slower to vary the reaction against the fuselage.

The "stem" seems to be one of the main breaking points. Could the design be adapted to fit carbon fibre rods? As far as I understand it should get lighter and more durable
