8 років томуThe HD cam on the plane was a Mobius Action Cam amzn.to/2nxTSR7
But I also recommend this newer more rugged one www.gearbest.com/action-camera...
Or amazon amzn.to/2odcHMw
So I made a centrifugal fan.. And then built an airplane around it
Bonus footage: • Video
For clarification: I did not use the AC motor from the heater, but rather I put the impeller onto a much more powerful BLDC motor as commonly used in RC.

' first ' Realize similar has been done and thought of for ages. Reaction force of blown air is obvious to anyone who has ever used a gas backpack leaf blower, and equally obvious that it's terribly inefficient but that you could use it to power a plane if you did it well. Actually doing it is only a triviality, it was obvious from the moment of first using that type of leaf blower in the 80s. You're about 10 times better off to simply use the same motor/engine but put an actual prop on it..

Could you, by mounting the fan horizontally with the air intake at the top (with the right design) lower the air pressure on top of the craft and increase the lift? Like some kind of sucking flaps on the leading edge. Also wonder if something like it (smaller?) could be used on the main shaft of a heli with the ducted thrust used to replace the tail rotor.

@kevinsbudchannel3668 7 років тому

@Eo_Tunun 7 років тому
Both your ideas would work, and have been used in aircraft designs several times. The MD NOTAR System works a lot like that for lateral control (The actual torque compensation doesn't, though, only the rudder does.) and some STOL capable transport aircraft have their engines on their wings for that reason. Or think of the Honda Jet, or from back then, the VFW 614.

They did the same thing (or similar) with the main air intake of the P-51. The air went in, and the hot coolant cooled down, but the air became warmer. So they narrowed the end of the air intake, so it slightly boosts the aircraft. Albeit not by much however.

Well played sir, that is pretty ingenious. As with EDF's there are a few critical tolerances with regards to inlet and outlet size (and in your case impeller to case clearances), with some study, expirementation and refinement, I'm confident you could significantly increase the efficiency. Also the reason for pitch up under power is the thrust line(outlet) below the center of lift and gravity. If you flip your outlet to the top it would move them closet to one another and provide moving air across your tail surfaces.Keep up the innovating, now if you'll excuse me I must go strip the a/c blower out of my old car...

The ram air intake needs to be more stream lined. I looked at this video a few times and taking screenshots of the ram air intake to get an idea of its size. It's huge lol !!! Crunching the numbers show the intake is way way to big and actually air is backed up. You need to streamline the intake duck and make it more like an oval shape instead of a scoop which is causing drag.
@stevemadak6255 6 років тому
I noticed that too. He could reduce drag a lot.

Mate that was awsome,well done.in 30 years of flying and involved in the hobby I've never seen anything like that.it is indeed a turbo motor.because the turbo on my old car was pretty much the same thing.the plane had plenty of power and was very power efficient and reliable.the plane was also well balanced,with is the most important thing.props to u my friend,awesome job.big hi from Australia.don't ever stop flying.it's the best hobby in the world.

Crude but ingenious! You took a technology not associated with aircraft and married the two together and got it to work. Your a Maverick, cudos to you! I'm impressed!
@wolffram1 7 років тому
Absolutely amazing! With a more focussed air outlet you could improve your thrust.
@brookestephen 2 роки тому
I'm hoping to do the same with a single-passenger ultralight! Nice proof of concept!!! Wish me luck. BTW wouldn't the efficiency improve with the exhaust ABOVE the wing, leading to more speed and lower pressure on the top surface?

This is one of the greatest feats of engineering I have ever seen. You should look into scaling this up, you never know what might happen.
@jamesfieweger8648 7 років тому
Samm, How did you mount the motor? I can't seem to figure it out.
@bradyspace 6 років тому
That space in the blower is called a plenum. If you look that up you can dial in the most efficient shape, although you got pretty close it looks like. Squirl fans are very effient as fans go. Lot of advantages for not having a prop. Very durable and more placement options for the propulsion.
@fabiovezzari2895 6 років тому
I read that centrifugal fans on planes are efficient and powerful at low speeds, but also that they consume more energy from the batteries. Do you think it's true? I knew it from a guy on a forum and probably they are just intuitive considerations.
@bradyspace 6 років тому
The statements seem conflicting. It seems like there are tradeoffs like many other plane configurations. There are more blades and more surface area around the walls of these blowers vs a prop that is getting clean open air. However the blower with enclosed air can be compressed and further utilized. Similiarly at certain speeds jets become more efficient than props.
@mariopuzo4509 5 років тому
Oooh....guess what I'm making at work tommorow..muahahaahaha! ( I work at a surplus store. ) Coincidentally, we've got those squirrel fans + ducted fans ( I suspect they are from old hair dryers), brushles DC muffin fans water pumps ( wish they were "JETS."☹️To make an rc boat. Right now I'm thinking a ground effect glider or airboat.....maybe he said in the video but how's he controlling the motor speed? Potentiometers? Esc?! I don't get that part...cuz unless you have a built in esc in the flight controller when u throttle up wouldn't it be full throttle or no throttle?

What material did you guys used for this plane? I'm planning to built my own RC Plane and I'm fingering out which material to use. Which foam would be best to use? How much did you spend on building this one? Thanks
@terminatord4 8 років тому
Fantastic...! So did it feel under powered? Did it torque roll in the pitch axis? What if you lighten the fan, and maybe tweak/mod it slightly for more power/efficiency? It would also be easy to attach another motor to the other end of the fan, yes? Nice flying BTW...Beautiful scenery!!!!
@SammSheperd 8 років тому
I have very little EDF experience but I think it was like a stock RTF EDF plane. I was concerned about torque on the pitch axis. But it's about the same as prop plane. Usually prop blast over the tail gives it more authority. This is why the slowest landings are under power. This had the same effect. I think the most efficient thing I could do is 3D print an impeller and a housing to be much more complex (and not square) and resemble something like a turbocharger The other end has to be open so 2 motors wouldn't work
@franks_nl 8 років тому
+Samm Sheperd (SNRS) You'd need to 3D print the impeller, but sure you could. Just make the second one take air from the other side. Either central air channel and large nacelles, for split thrust, or air from the sides and central thrust.
@135Zeus 8 років тому
+Samm Sheperd (SNRS) Two motors wouldn't work, unless you built the motors smaller
