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

The reply is, "Bzzzt! I'm Not Doing This! I belong on a Bench! Didn't you read my Manual?" "1: Do not expose to excess moisture. 2: Do not allow high impact to casing. 3: Do not make a helicopter out of your Dremel." It's all right there. 😉
Peter ever since your bro started working with you every video is just a gigglefest between the two of you. It's wholesome as fuck and I'm happy for you guys.
all they needed to do was add a rigid bar and another two bearings above the gears. Would have prevented the flex and therefore reduced the gear slippage
I don't know what was driving me more nuts, the vibration gearing, or the fact that he had the tail rotor propelling directly into his vertical fin. Then he upgraded the power of the tail rotor because it wasn't strong enough. But hey, he kept at it.
What is it going to control? There is no swash nor servos for stability for it to control. Don't need a flybar if using gyros on controls, that's what flybar does. The tail obviously needs better setup.
Out of the mini years that I’ve watched you I’ve never seen you fail I’m just so pleased to see that you weren’t sitting in this one but you did succeed proud of you as always I’m just a 70 year old man that started Darcy when they were single channel escapement
This video demonstrates how hard it is to make or something new. How much patience you need. Count the no. of failures and then succeed Hat's off to you guys Love your videos.
I'm impressed how much patience you had to keep re-building this when it crashed and broke! I would have set it on fire after about the 3rd or 4th failure!
dual bearing on the input and output shaft for the main rotor, the extra rigidity on those stops gear mesh issues / reduces vibration etc , also make a guard for the spur gear, ask me how i know :) loved this project so so much, brilliant stuff chaps as always
@@rc-fannl7364 This is how smart peter is he knows where he can cut corners but, having done similar stuff getting the spinning assembly parts balanced, just makes everything so much easier, rear rotor authority kicks in earlier as well once the vibration is under control.
Peter, love these crazy inventions! Not sure if you already know but I'd figure to mention that generally in flight testing, we usually do a "tether hover" during R&D to verify flight characteristics and stability so we don't destroy so many parts :) Makes for good video though!
I am so glad that you seem to like sharing the torture you go thru to make these projects! It makes for a hell of a good laugh! Thanks for another great video, Happy New Year!!
Serious Question, Peter - did you consider a planetary-gear for main rotor? Seems like it would have two advantages: less flex and weight of tool directly under rotor. Very curious... Thanks!!
Your editing and production have come a long way friend. Do t see many of your videos, but when I do, they always seem bounds above the former. Congratulations man!
I think adding another bearing and supporting both sides of the gear would have helped. I think I heard a lot of time where the teeth would separate and the gears would skip.
So much lost power for the main rotor due to poor driveline engagement. Wasn't the motor's fault. Peter may have given it 110% given all constraints, but 10% more would have had this thing as a complete success.
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.
Man, it's crazy to see how many times it crashes and you guys just say "oh no!" And laugh with big smiles. I would get disappointed on the first crash, sit down for like an hour looking at it, then give up lol. Amazing patience and amazing skills!
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.
The UA-camr, "Night Flyer" was part of the development team that made the Kyosho tail rotorless RC helicopters sold by Tower Hobbies in the late 1980's early 1990's. I believe if you contact him and get some of his data, you might be more successful without a tail rotor, and only throttle for up-down and regular rudder for directional control.
The Kyosho HyperFly! My friend had one. It had a no throttle, just a switch on the helicopter that got turned off when the helicopter touched the ground.
@@RolfRBakke Yes I mistakenly got a Hyperfly as my first RC aircraft.....biggest waste of money and a ton of frustration. It was like throwing a bowling ball and expecting it to fly.
@@PilotChris06FW Our first flight went straight into the ground as well. We learned that we have to let it climb straight ahead, and turn right. Left turns made it dive. So it kind of worked. Not for the beginner tough...
I would like to see this Dremel revisited as a Gyrocopter and the Dremel being used as the forward propulsion. Then you will have a dihedral to keep it balanced plus rudder authority via the tail planes and still retain a rotor and blades as your lift. Looked fun!
I made my own set of piccolo blades back in the early 2000s. I later made some collective pitch blades with symmetrical profile and just put a tapered shim under them to give a fixed "collective" like pitch and they flew extremely well. I dared not try them before static/dynamic balance which doesn't take long.
I love how at every step of the way this helicopter gets closer and closer to just being a bunch of soon-to-be shrapnel stuck together with hopes and dreams and strapped onto a grinder with no kill switch except the one located conveniently in reach of the high speed rotor blades
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.
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.
If you try this again I would add a more aerodynamic fuselage witch might reduce the interference from the gears and make it more stable and the damage upon landing
Stunning perseverance in the face of so much adversity. Good job!. I would have been tempted to tether the helicopter initially to save on the rebuilds.
Good job Peter! This is a video that I read the title, saw the thumbnail and said "YES!" out loud. Immediate watch for me (I'm only 0:03 in to the video and had to post this comment).
Think about a pneumatic torque wrench powering a go-cart. The fun would be the air compressor needed to keep the torque wrench moving. If you wanted to scale up, there are torque wrenches in 1-1/2" and 2-1/2", if 1" is too small. Problem is scaling down as the CFM doesn't change that much.
If you trim it for forward flight the power and tail rotor effectiveness will not be an issue with the translational lift.. and it will be more stable.. don't try to hover
Yall are such dorks..... just like me! Loved this video! Keep up the awesome work you guys! I really jelly..... wish I could be doing fun dorky stuff like this! I'll live vicariously through you guys lol!
Why didn't you try a brace between the drive shaft from the Dremel and the shaft the blades connect to to keep the gears from slipping? Lot more energy in a battery than the rubber bands.
I would like to see an ongoing contest to see how fast you can get a propeller vehicle off the ground and up to a certain altitude, say 100 meters. Trying different vehicles you make to see which one can do it the fastest.
By the middle of the video I was fully resigned to assuming it would never fly. This would have been fine, because the laughs and goofy enjoyment was definately contagious... great video.

This was awesome to watch. Knowing how long it takes just to make a new blade... I was kind of blown away by how much time went into this. That being said, you guys need to cool your jets when it comes to testing and not test it in an enclosed room with random hazards and things to hit to just increase the damage and breakage of every failed flight. Imagine if the wright brothers tested flying their first aircraft in their living room.
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'd love to see a multi-dremel airplane, like a twin-engine C-82/C-119 or a four-engine B-24/C-87. Blown away by how many iterations you went through for the helicopter. Great stuff!
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.
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.)
V-22 Osprey using 2 dremel's next. You needed a swash plate to control the main rotor. Impressed on the lack of tail rotor spinning out. Hard to catch the torque from the change in speed of the main head.
If ya ever decide to do this again u have to support the rotor shaft at the top as its wobbling which is causin alot of the issues but also use some grease aswell
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

Serious Question, Peter - did you consider a planetary-gear for main rotor? Seems like it would have two advantages: less flex and weight of tool directly under rotor. Very curious... Thanks!!
Possible torque loss but that could work
That would be way better, for sure.
That and gyro control would be a winning combo.
They can create heat when not lubricated simple is better for dry gears
Isn't it best to have some weight out in front of the rotor shaft in order to counterbalance the weight of the boom and tail?
(Just spitballing here.)
Your editing and production have come a long way friend. Do t see many of your videos, but when I do, they always seem bounds above the former. Congratulations man!

The tail rotor fan blade should be longer for airflow.
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.)
