    Im sure that if you use a larger prop 1,15-1,30cm with one motor and gearbox, you will have better efficiency, this is very important.
    About the batteries we are all waitting for more capacity, when the technology change you will be able to fly your paramotor for hours.
    Enjoy your flights and always fly safe.

    I got into drones back in 2012 when you were doing alot of drone videos. I even emailed you about what I should get back then.
    Now I've done plenty of drone stuff, and I'm looking at getting a paramotor. And who do i find getting in on it a year before me? Ali again!
    Nice job man, glad to see you're pushing your limits.

  • @falcon56215
    @falcon56215 8 років тому

    Is there an emergency system on this? I would hate to be at 3000 feet and get an internal short in one of your battery packs and it overheat and catch on fire while strapped to your back. Is there an emergency cut away for the engine / batteries if you were to have an electrical fault?

  • @TheKteas

    What's to prevent your lines from getting into the prop? Or your hands?

    • @alishanmao
      @alishanmao  3 роки тому

      it was a prototype. just to test the possibilities. definitely wasn't safe. So I built a pro version later.

    @JaisimhaAllalghatta 7 років тому

    good start and way to go.
    Couple of points that i would like to share which others may have already mentioned
    1. Props need to have a cage.
    2. some quick release system in case of fire
    3. relocate the props to avoid damage during bad landing and possibly avoid tangling of lines

  • @LowLightVideos
    @LowLightVideos 7 років тому

    Most excellent.
    There are a number of valid comments about safety (like ParaglidingNut's) but still a cool experiment with obvious risks to only yourself that you were prepared to take.
    Driving carefully down the road can cost your life, still a popular thing, etc.
    As long as you're willing to break a leg or get cut you're fine.
    *My* expert opinion is: the Welding is going to fail first.
    As long as you're ready for it to breakup you're Steve Austin, we will rebuild you.
    Glad your enjoyment was worth the risk, to only yourself. Now you know you like it buy a quality Paramotor from a reputable Mfg. Renting was another option but you couldn't say you built your own.

    Well glad to see you didn't need pov glasses or a transmitter to see what it feels like to fly , Since i paramotor i havent bothered with my RC stuff , only when it too cold to fly , Welcome to your new addiction , You can always get gas powered 80cc motor like a mini plane that weighs 40 lbs that will give you longer flight times and power over battery .

  • @SweetBlu

    Do you have a 'Quick release' for the power backpack in the event of a Lipo fire, or some other malfunction so you can just dump the batteries/motors if needed?

    • @alishanmao
      @alishanmao  8 років тому +2

      For batteries no. I will have to do something about it

    • @SweetBlu
      @SweetBlu 7 років тому +6

      Adan M no, but they don't catch fire as easily under stress like a giant set of lipos

    • @JacobJonesy
      @JacobJonesy 7 років тому +2

      Lipos do not catch fire easily under stress. They catch fire under catastrophic failure. I assume a fuel tank would also be problematic during catastrophic failure such as a fuel line leaking.

    • @devitomichael
      @devitomichael 7 років тому

      Awesome! I was wondering if anyone was R&Ding an electric paramotor! That was my first thought as well using batteries, is there an increased risk for fire? But when I think about it, could the risk from battery fire really be that much worse than the risk from carrying 2 gallons of fuel and a running combustion engine? Awesome!

    @surrvey 8 років тому

    Congratulations Ali!! İ like you very much! Go on with that.. Bravo my brother!! Keep in mind: When you turn into the tailwind, keep always more altitude giving most power when you're near ground. Keep in mind: As more altitude you have, as more safety you are.. Don't do tighten circles close to the ground unless you know the power of your backpack machine.. Soon you will get this out. And keep in mind: Always have a look of the wind direction and always land towards the wind. Wish you success with that powerglider and always have safe flights. Selamınaleyküm brother.

ESC (Amp, etc...) and maybe how you made your trigger ? Where you sure that all you components would fit together (no one is overheating) ?. Where are you selling it ? I hope you will find time again in the futur... and have fun to fly yourself.
