      There's your answer. He needs to build it like the lunar lander.
      Stop trying to make it look like a helicopter and make four large panel legs with the propeller on top.
      You'll have no directional control but it won't try to tilt Because every time it does the downwash would straighten it back out

  • @sane_scientist
    @sane_scientist 2 роки тому +1

    phrase of the day: GYROSCOPIC PROCESSION
    you need to have a mechanical bias to the flybar that offsets it toward the direction of gravity or else the effects of gyroscopic procession will continue to crash it, thats why it slowly tilts more and more until it crashes every time. i would recommend having the flybar angled down away from the blade to give it leverage and make the tips atleast a quarter the weight of the blades to make it want to self level.

    Some things I noticed - a shorter screw in the gears could help remove the centrifugal imbalance which is impeding the gyroscopic stabilization you should be getting from the rotor mast, also adding a guide flange to both sides of your small 3D printed gear will help it maintain the interface with the larger gear and not allow it to have so much play in it. Beyond that - y'all are not only insanely clever, but also extremely good at making entertaining videos.

    I don't know if there's a free plug-in to make them, but helical gears would give you much less noise. Involute gears are good for low speed high torque applications. Things I've learned from This Old Tony.

    • @2testtest2
      @2testtest2 2 роки тому +5

      There are free plugins for fusion for helical gears. I'm not sure they would be a good fit for this application though, as they also create a side load, which would case the frame and gears to flex depending on how much torque is applied, possibly causing them to disengage in flight. By involute gears I'm assuming you mean straight cut gears? Involute gears can be straight or helical, and is the most common type in machinery today, and are suitable for all speed ranges.

    I love these experiments and some of the designs you create are awesome. Having all those tools to use is a massive advantage. I would like to see you design and build a single seater hovercraft using battery powered flymo lawnmowers. I think that would be a great project.

    I'm completely ignorant, but my instinct would be to try to get the dremel COG under the rotor axis using non-parallel pinion/gear axes.

  • @DeadphishyEP3
    @DeadphishyEP3 2 роки тому +7

    flying without cyclical control would be impossible. Youll lose lift when it wobbles or picks up to much speed. You need counter rotating blade to have any chance of that.

  • @poodlescone9700
    @poodlescone9700 2 роки тому +5

    You should orient the dremel parallel to the rotors to balance the mass. Also do a coaxial rotor system to prevent the counter rotation and do a magnetic clutch to power and vary the speed for a push rotor.

      The horizontal stabilizer is blocking the air flow for at least half of the tail rotor. A disappointingly obvious design flaw. (Compensated for by the entertainment of watching Peter and his wrecking crew operate.)

    support the gearbox on both sides by using bearing and plate with mounts to sandwich the gearbox, it is slipping causing the wobble. support to prevent lateral movement of the gearbox on one side should drastically remove wobble and improve efficiency and stability
