What Happens If You Fly a Drone In An Elevator? Real Experiment!

Ойын-сауық

Get your Action Lab Box Now! www.theactionlab.com/
In this video I actually fly a drone in an elevator to see what happens when the elevator goes to a different floor. Will the drone move with it or stay in its relative position? Then I also try to actively control the drone in order to see if I can keep it in control as the elevator is moving to the top floor! Then I talk about relative speeds and how this compares to flying on an airplane!

    Hey everyone I want to address some comments I am seeing: 1. Remember that the drone is not floating in the elevator. It is not supported by air pressure or buoyancy. So even though the air starts moving down with the elevator, the drone doesn't care because the air isn't what is supporting the drone. It stays in place by the momentum of air thrown downward. So it doesn't matter that the air below it is moving downward relatively slowly or not, the drone will stay where it was hovering before the movement of the elevator. The results of this would be different with a balanced floating balloon in the center of the elevator. It would stay right with it for the most part as the elevator went up and down. 2. The drone does have vertical accelerometers. That is how it knows it is hovering with the correct propeller speed without falling. So even once the elevator air starts pushing the drone up or down while moving, the accelerometers try to keep it in place. So in addition to its inertia, the accelerometers are also keeping it in place. I didn't mention it in the video but it is a valid point to bring up. The drone would have an easier time staying with the elevator without altitude control (but that is basically what I simulated when I was throttling it).

    I am pretty sure a small drone like that does not have barometer on it. However it probably has an accelerometer (and definitely a gyro), and it would be calibrated during boot and then be confused when you want to maintain a constant velocity (offset in the integral of the acceleration).

    The more interesting experiment would be an altitude hold based on the floor of the elevator. My 2 year old son has a cheap toy that holds altitude based on a sensor on the bottom of the drone. You should try one of those.

    What I would like to see is what would happen if you started the drone after the elevator had already started moving, such that the drone had the same momentum as the elevator. It seems to me that it should be the same as flying a drone in a vehicle traveling at a constant velocity. It might be an easier experiment if you were in a taller building so that you had more time to start the drone and run the test while the elevator was moving. Of course, it would be necessary to run the experiment at a time that few if any other people wanted to use the elevator. I have a feeling that this video was shot after business hours.

Intuition tells us that the balloon would just be sitting against the ceiling not moving much at all. But it goes down! In fact if the elevator rides is long enough (remember - the elevator is going DOWN) - the helium balloon will sit on the floor! Same effect - take a helium balloon into your car. Let it float up against the ceiling in the middle of the car. Now step on the accelerator hard. Everything is pushed back -including you. But the balloon goes forward...why?

The absence would be a theoretical box with an object within and nothing else whatsoever. So far as we test it, the acceleration force of the box impacts the object within, always. In other words, it shows that acceleration is gravity as far as the object inside and the box are concerned. And it holds true even if you add a gravity source outside of the box.

    It's depending on which sensor the drone is reading it's position. Acceleration can be measured, Air Pressure, others use the camera for fine adjustment (Phantom), and/or GPS. So in case of the plane, the drone might want to reposition to it's GPS position, which might geht hard on any plane.

    This actually makes for an interesting reversal of one of Einstein’s thought experiments regarding gravity. Instead of a man falling alongside the box (as the inertial reference frame) and the world outside moving, the drone and the world outside stay the same, and it is the box that moves. Either way it demonstrates that the acceleration of reference frames can create the illusion of force when none is being directly applied

    Great video experiment! It reminds me of that old thought experiment about the guy with a truck hauling chickens, though admittedly that thought experiment is often used to illustrate a different point. It's always a fun exercise to break down these kinds of questions/thought experiments by comparing how things look to different observers in different frames of reference. For example in this video, comparing the frame of reference of the human drone pilot, that of the drone, and that of an external observer with super x-ray vision standing on top of the building who can see everything thats going on in the system, (while not affecting said system). Einstein's theory of relativity says these reference frames are essentially all interchangeable and all valid, so I find that fun to think about. I would love it if you made a video with this footage and some of your other drone experiments, where you break it down "on a chalkboard," so to speak, walking viewers through the different reference frames, and how in some ways they may all appear "different" and yet they are "the same." Basically run us through these experiments and reference frames, helping viewers grasp the crux of what "relativity" is all about. When people hear the term "Relativity," I think they too often think of things like, E=MC2 and speed(limit) of light, curvature of space time, and other higher level concepts. But we need to remember that Relativity is also very much what it's name implies, basically that how a system or situation appear to an observer, is very much dependent on that observers frame of reference. Thanks for making these videos that help us think about all this good stuff. You encourage me to keep asking questions and learning, always.

Launch the drone while the bus is at a bus stop and observe the hovering drone as the bus left the stop and accelerated to see if the drone, independent of the movement of the bus, would remain fixed at it’s own point in space. Your experiment was fascinating! Thanks so much for performing it!

    Picture this, you've got your $3000 drone on a stationary airplane. You launch it, the plane starts to taxi, because of your advanced drone pilot skills you're able to stop it from crashing for a minutes as the plane slowly speeds up and changes direction. The plane stops momentarily and then launches into a takeoff run, hitting 300kph and rushing towards the end of the runway, you blink from the shock and hear a terrible noise as your drone is smashed to pieces at the rear of the cabin a second later.

    The amount of air pushed by an elevator would depend on the size. Most elevators go about 1M/s, however this is a mid range application so maybe 2M/s. The amount of air pushed would be tiny, especially in the middle of the elevator.

  • @mariusfacktor3597
    @mariusfacktor35973 ай бұрын

    I think this is more about inertia. If the elevator + air was moving at a constant velocity, the drone wouldn't appear to move. But it's the ACCELERATION of the elevator that causes the drone to go up. The drone has more mass than the surrounding air so while the air goes down with the elevator almost instantly, the drone takes longer to accelerate.

    Yep, since the air isn't what's keeping the drone flying, but by the force produced by the propellers acting upon the air A balloon with neutral buoyancy should be different though On second thought, the balloon might need to be of negligible mass to remain stationary relative to the elevator. Should it have some mass, however, it'll likely behave similar to the drone, with less pronouced effect.

    I’m really pleased that you did this experiment. I wasn’t expecting the results you got & still don’t really understand because the AIR in the elevator that the drone is using the state aloft is also moving at the same rate as the elevator, which is why I have a hard time believing that if you’re Hovering a drone inside of a commercial airplane that is about to take off, as soon as it starts to run down the runway, the airtight airplane is accelerating the air in the plane as well, so how can the drone relative to the plane start traveling through the air in the plane toward the back of the plane? anyway, thanks for the demonstration! It was very interesting.

    For everyone wondering why the drone is moving and not staying still: The acceleration/ g-force makes the drone move when the elevator changes speed. If the drone would have been launched after the elevator had accelerated, and stopped before it deaccelerated, the drone would have had the same speed as the elevator and therefore not move. It’s similar to you getting pushed into the seat in a car if you accelerate fast, and get pushed forward when the car stops fast.

    If it was true the the drone would have start flying along with the elevator as soon as it hit the ground or celing. The drone is programed to move up/down up to a certain meter per second based on some kind of inertia sensor. The drone can't move at higher speed than X m/s, the elevator move at a speed higher than X m/s The drone crash at the ceiling if the elevator go down, and crash at the floor when it goes up.

    depends on the tacking... video tracking would say the elevator is moving and drone corrects GPS tracking would say that drone doesnt have to move. and if the drone has only throttle stabilazation it will not move. (like your example) so a drone with up and down video controlled stabilazation could detect a moving elevator and correct.

    haha nice, i actually develloped that drone at propel. it uses an air pressor sensor to to regulate the motor speeds when hovering , it will work differently at different altitudes , you should be able calibrate the sensor on that drone when you sync the controller, it also calibrates the gyro at that time. if it smacks into the wall its better to recalibrate beore trying to auto take off again. there should be a manual mode on that drone that bypasses the air pressure sensor.

    Did you check whether the drone used had "BARO" sensors, sometimes advertised as "altitude-hold" capability in toy-grade drones. These drones attempt to hold or control the rate of climb/descent using an air-pressure sensor. This could explain why you could not slow the throttle-down enough to avoid the ceiling during elevator-downward. I see in your other comment that you are aware that its accelerometer could also be trying to limit vertical acceleration.

    When accelerating upward the air in the elevator would get slightly compressed toward the floor and slightly compressed toward the ceiling when accelerating downward. That hat effect would be minimal on the drone. The main reason for the drone's movement is its inertia. When the elevator starts moving it tries to stay in the same spot, so ends up hitting the floor as the elevator accelerates upward, and hits the ceiling as the elevator accelerates downward. You would be able to hover it easily if the elevator had a longer travel time at a constant speed in either direction.

    For me personally, this is the most helpful visualization of the theory of relativity that I've ever found. In the past, I kinda understood the whole "if you're walking forward on a plane then you're still not walking faster than the plane" thing, but for the most part I was still just taking people's word for it and then silently getting angry that I couldn't understand why it was true. This explanation of a vehicle that's starting to accelerate vs a vehicle that's already accelerated is particularly clear and helpful, and seeing the drone helped make it click a little more.

    The question is why this is happening. I’d almost assume that most of the air in the elevator would eventually reach the same vertical speed as the elevator itself. Not immediately though, which may be why both the air and the drone (that is using the air to maintain a hover) initially slam against the floor/ceiling of the elevator. But once the elevator moves at a constant speed for some time, my guess is it would stay level relative to the elevator if you apply the same amount of power as you would do normally. Is that the case? Also I’m wondering: if the elevator accelerating causes the air to compress towards the floor when moving up, and towards the ceiling when moving down, would that make the drone hover more easily within that compressed air. If so, it must be harder to not have it slam against the ceiling when going down, than it is to not have it slam against the floor when going up.

  • @jakubmendys1549

    Thank you for the experiment! I am curious about the air in the elevator. If the elevator accelerates then it should also accelerate the air inside on which the drone is flying so it should have some effect on a drone, shouldn’t it? Sure the air is not solid and the acceleration will cause some local pressure changes but this also should affect the drone especially if it uses baro sensor to keep the level.
