3D printed boomerangs are making a come back! This one will be using 3x drone motors with insane power to rotate the boomerang and generate lift by the angled wings. The fast rotation of the boomerang keeps it airborne while slowly, in a large ellipse, making its way back to the original point of take off.

It's hard to change the direction of the axis of an rotating mass (gyroscopic effect), in this boomerang design, the motors rotational axis are changed when the boomerang it's self rotates, so the boomerang is continuously fighting against the gyroscopic effect. So maybe that's why the small one didn't work and it took so much motor power to make it work

If you put a bearing in the center with a tube and attached a second one on the "bottom" going the opposite way, you might be able to make it hover. And if you slow down the top or bottom motors, it might make it turn left or right. Basically a way over complicated drone "boomerang" but would be cool to see 😁

You can pull power from the balance lead of the 4-cell lipo for the receiver eliminating the other battery. We used to do that with our FPV drones before the video transmitters were high voltage. It works great. You pull from the connector where 6v comes out for the receiver.

4:50 PA: That’s a Flysky FS-i6, don’t cheap out. I am not surprised it doesn’t work… Just get an actually good transmitter, basically anything that runs EdgeTX is ok. I recommend the Radiomaster Boxer, or the TX16S. Also, ELRS for the transmitter and receiver. With Radiomaster, they have an option for a built-in ELRS transmitter. Edit: The FS-i6 is literally the cheapest radio on getfpv right now. For just 11$ more you could’ve gotten a Radiomaster Pocket which is IMHO the waaaay better deal.

Absolutely do this! The mixing and configurabiltiy of edgetx would probably also be helpful with some of these projects. Switching protocols can be annoying, but with elrs you won't have these dropout anymore.
@teodorvangelov 3 ай бұрын
The reason that he can't bind them is because they use different communication protocols, not because Flysky is cheap. There's nothing wrong with the TX.

Try moving the motors from the wing tips towards the center of the boomerang. In that way the wing tips can have a higher speed, more lift and its get easier to throw. Ha det bra. =)
@xxmortikaixx4975 3 ай бұрын
I had the same thoughts as well as make the wings longer. The motors being near the center will turn the boomerang and the longer wings will act more like a helicopter rotor.

Nice! Does your setup allow you to reverse the motors? Maybe just before trying to catch it, a quick reversal might make it easier. Also, if it's about to hit something, maybe there would be less damage if it wasn't spinning as much.

@another3997 Ай бұрын
But authentic boomerangs weren't meant to come back, they were hunting weapons. Not having any knowledge of aerofoils, or the tools to check perfect balance, aboriginals would use trial and error to make ones that flew in a relatively straight and predictable manner. A returning boomerang would be a novelty and fun, but useless as a weapon.

Great Video! Some possible ideas for future revisions; - Design it as a 2 part Sandwich to "internalize' wiring and components - Split the battery load onto the 3 arms evenly (ie 3 battery packs) - Modify the wing design to include the pitch angle for more consistent/uniform pitch angles Not sure how feasible, but if you cold program the motors individually you could potentially have full maneuverability and fly it like a "normal" drone

Nice one. I would try with longer arms (wings), but the motors closer to the center of the wings (eg. mid-mount). That way the tip speed of the wings will be more than the speed at which the motors will travel.

they make a very small voltage regulator to keep from needing the two separate batteries on RC devices regarding the receiver and motor that would possibly help with the weight. I am from the US but the person i seen use it is Kevin Talbot from the UK on KZfaq, he has a lot of good information if you continue developing this he may be a good point of contact.

the thing with a boomerang is that it was trailing edge stall (like a helicopter's rotors).. where one side is travelling slower than the other cause its going in the opposite direction the boomerang is travelling.. thats what makes a boomerang tilt to one side... The challenge is finding a way to control the motor speed when its either exactly on the leading edge or the trailing edge... that would give you tilt (and hopefully directional) control

@storkbreath 3 ай бұрын
I thought about making something like this but with two blades and also a servo that moves the battery slightly in order to change the center of rotation which would alter the flight path. The other way to control it would be to have one motor counter rotating from the other and use torque to alter the flight path. It would also be cool but even more difficult to have the motors pulse with more power toward the forward direction on each half of the boomerangs spin propelling it forward.

when you angled the arms you pointed the motors slightly upwards. now you get more lift drom the wings but they have to fight the motors pushing downwards. maybe try an angled motormount (like 20-30deg) so wings and motors push upwards
