Tesla coil that bleeds off enough electricity to power a small quad infinitely... This would be the start to online real FPV quad racing except you would have to wait for a real person to put your drone together put it on the racetrack but essentially you could jump online and fly around for as long as you wanted to.

    I suspect the vanes are stalling when it's given too much stick. The pid loop probably also stalls them when theres a spike in any axis. It tries to correct and just pushes the vanes too far in that particular condition.
    Maybe you could program variable end points for the vanes. If you could put a small enough pitot tube near them you could use the airspeed at the vanes to make sure they are never put into a stall condition.

    I don't know if anyone mentioned this, but the prototype looks like it's top heavy, so it's in an unstable state when flying and wants to flip over. Maybe it would be less prone to flipping with a bottom heavy design, e.g. if you moved the battery, camera and electronics to the bottom, under the ducts. The tradeoff would be that you disrupt some of the airflow, but it's stable state would be upright. It would probably look a little bit like a hot air balloon, lol.

    • @hanelyp1

      Top heavy isn't a problem with good software tuning. It will need distance between CG and vanes for control authority.

    I have imagined something like a ball with 1 ducted motor inside on a 2 axis gimbal with mass countering gimbal movements in opposite direction so you can slow the ducted motor down, rapidly rotate to new angle and fire it back up. Would look so bad ass and be capable of some really crazy stuff. I just imagine it's yaw would still be an issue without a second counter rotating duct just above it.

    So with a traditional helicopter and even a non-traditional helicopter there are helicopters out there that do not use a rear tail rotor the only thing they use is the rotor or the main rotor in each blade changes pitch as a wing to allow are to travel over it in a certain way to create more lift or thrust and that way when it's rotating it's changing pitch at all times to make the copter go one way or the other forward or backwards because the throttle still stays the same just FYI just so you know

  • @pmcquay1
    @pmcquay1 Рік тому

    I wonder if you could have "fixed" (on a servo, but only based on the throttle input) fins that counteract the twist from the prop, and tune those separately, and then fins that do maneuvering. That might help isolate the two issues. I think a lot of the problems you're having come from trying to use the fins for more than one thing, and like another commenter says, the fins lose control when they get into a stall condition. Heck, maybe just making it taller and putting the fins a bit farther away would help, just less chaotic airflow.

    • @dg9bfc
      @dg9bfc Рік тому

    • @pmcquay1
      @pmcquay1 Рік тому

      @@dg9bfc thats what I was talking about, if the mixing adds things together until it gets over the stall angle of the surface, you then have a problem because the surface doesnt work like the flight controller expects. Separating the surfaces could in theory help with that.
