  • hey guys! well you requested it and here it is!!!!! The magnus force (effect) KFC bucket aeroplane. not sure why I chose KFC buckets though... they make poor rotating flettner wings!

    Late comment: try to put dimples on the bucket's surface, it will provide more "air traction" by creating a microlayer of turbulence, sucking the air to the bucket surface, improving Magnus' force. IIRC, at a certain rotational speed, MF will actually be getting efficient and after that, it'll just basically stall.

    @theconservativeknight1883 3 роки тому +1

    For those who are curious as to why spinning cylinder wings dont work in practice (and therefore are not used in modern aircraft design) spinning cylinders produce too much drag. The reason it creates so much drag is because the extreme curvature causes flow separation (which can cause stall).
    Now despite it not being all that useful for aircraft, it can be used in sea ships for propulsion (look up flettner rotor ships). This can also be used when playing sports, as one can put some spin into a ball and therefore control the trajectory slightly by generating lift one side of the ball.

    The magnus effect is at VERY slow drum rotation speeds. You need to show those buckets down _a lot_ and maybe consider much longer cylinders, travelling at maybe 50 rpm. The magnus effect would be diminished at high rotational speeds.

    you have forward pitch torque from the rotating buckets. might do to move them back a bit so the front weight does a better job of countering that.
    might also be good to have a larger area rear tail wing to maybe get better pitch stability.
    you definitely will only get magnus/bernoulli lift if you're moving forward relative to the rear-ward motion of the top side of the buckets.
    super fun idea dude!

    Great videi! Loved it all. I believe the buckets were generating way too much wing lift, more than the prop and control surfaces could counteract to maintain horizontal attitude. Smaller diameter, or slower, buckets and/or larger control surfaces might allow the required forward motion. The whole Magnus things is so counterintuitive, especially the open Fanwing design. Oy!

    Well done! Instead of spoons that will introduce more drag and instability than lift, perhaps consider gluing several equally spaced longitudinal shallow static wing blades, glued to the cups to grab and push air. The depth and spacing matter, and the blades should be wing-like where they maximize drag/lift in one direction but minimize in the other as the cups rotate. This design allows more maneuverability due to its instability, but isn't fail safe because there is no glide on engine/motor failure.

    I think it works because the bucket pushes the air over the top faster and the air on the bottom slower, which is doing the same job as an aerofoil by making it denser on the bottom than on the top.

  • @dezp1874
    @dezp1874 3 місяці тому

    Awesome idea, however one thing I noticed is that in aerodynamics you want the air on the top of the wing to be faster so that the pressure underneath provides the lift. I would try rotating in the opposite direction, plus I would build a larger tail so that the air movement across the tail helps counteract the body rotation when the buckets start to spin.

    Nice and useful experiment, although the solution with the crucibles was more about the Coanda effect and the plane was kept in the air thanks to the powerful propeller engine. The Magnus effect is good for ships, not aircraft. It is a pity that you did not use the forgotten principle of a freely rotating wing in the longitudinal axis in the shape of an "S" profile, which does not require a drive like crucibles - they rotate by the onslaught of air. In the last century, we have used it as tethered dragons that have created great buoyancy.

    I would recommend increasing the length of the fuselage or increase the size of the horizontal stabilizer. Since added fuselage length would not add significantly to drag that would be best. The problem you were experiencing when you increased the RPM of the buckets was the additional torque this caused overpowered the horizontal stabilizer causing unwanted pitch of the aircraft. I.E. You wanted to increase the lift from the buckets, but got unwanted nose up pitch as well. The amount of unwanted pitch exceeded the amount of elevator control you had. To counter the unwanted pitch, increase the lever arm of the horizontal stabilizer by adding length to the fuselage. Great video, keep up the great work!

    • @reedman0780

      Or maybe weight management? The center of mass probably too far behind and the increase in lift from the buckets made it more easier to just make the plane flip backwards. There are no counter measures against that and it would probably just strain the elevators.

  • @michaelperrino8506
    @michaelperrino8506 7 років тому +122

    When you introduce a backwards spinning cylinder to airflow, you accelerate the air above the cylinder and decelerate the air below the cylinder. Fast moving air has less pressure than slow moving air, so a pressure differential, and thus a lift force, is generated. This is the basis of the Magnus Effect. A conventional cambered wing works in the exact same fashion: fast air on top, slow air on bottom. This is why the cylinders must spin with the top spinning with the wind.
    A major flaw in your design is the two props located below the buckets. The propwash accelerates air right past the bottom of the bucket, essentially negating the velocity gradient you create by spinning the buckets in the first place. You should try either mounting the props above the cylinders, to further increase lift, or even a pusher configuration to eliminate the propwash problem entirely!

      So if the buckets were bigger and rotate faster, would it fly better? Would it help if the buckets had some sort of grooves?

    • @michaelperrino8506
      @michaelperrino8506 7 років тому +2

      I think in general, faster would be better. In essence you want to look at the Kutta-Joukowski Theorem, which states that lift force is equal to (density of the fluid)*(velocity of the flow)*(circulation if the air). Circulation is harder to define, but in essence, the higher the velocity of the rotation, the more circulation. However, the circulation is also dependent on the radius of the cylinders, and a fixed torque motor spins a larger diameter cylinder slower. So you'd have to find the optimal size-rotation velocity ratio. As for the grooves: you'd need to optimize that as well. Too many deep grooves would cause too much drag, but if the cylinders are too smooth, you couldn't have the friction to get the air circulating fast enough. It's a hard to define problem and depends in a lot of variables. Trial and error is probably best in the scope of this video.

    • @mcgrawnelson4722

      i cant think of the name of the effect, but i think some of the instability may have also been caused by the rotation itself. when you have something untethered and spinning in a vacuum, or in this case suspended in air, spinning objects have a tendency to either go straight (gyroscope effect) or flip 180 degrees but keep going straight also( cant think of effect but there is videos from the space station with tops that keep flipping direction. in order to turn this, he has to fight the gyroscopic force that induces rotation up and down when he tries to turn
