3:22 The spinning was probably in part designed to ensure that the flaps close properly and regularly and are not as prone to failing to external factors

@anteshell 2 жыл бұрын

That is true. They are attached to "free spinning bearings" and without the turning motion they could randomly close on either side creating gaps and possibly other problems. Turning ensures they always closes in the same direction.

I was saying that the spinning was causing the flaps to rotate or flap closer to the closing point causing the flaps to go into the correct place. It was a good idea, but horrible execution this car was.

Scrapman, I think the entire purpose of the spinning is not to resemble a helicopter but allow the flaps to consistently close 100%. Otherwise, the flaps will fling to the wrong side. But I think that's not what the creator thought.

@karyjas1 2 жыл бұрын

The idea is this: the propeller construction goes up, with the flaps 'open' letting air through, when it goes down, he flaps will 'close' adding a lot of resistance, generating some lift. It spins so that the existent drag would encourage the flaps to close faster. Which means that the propeller construction doesnt need to spin fast at all, but he oscillation have to be quite long and very rapid for it to function properly. Theoretically this would work. If you disregarded a lot of things. It was probably a take on an ornithopter Oh! Its a wheeled-air-jellyfish Its like using the reed valve instead of a prop

This might stray from the purpose of real life recreations, but I'm actually really curious if there's a way to make this thing work. The concept clearly works, which is actually surprising, and I fully believe that you might be able to use the same method of catching air to generate lift in something different. Do you think you could make another try at this, but forget about making it look like the original entirely, using the concept in a different shape to make an unorthodox yet somehow functional flyer?

@soupe.silent_e 2 жыл бұрын

I agree and the one thing I noticed that hindered its flight is the angling of the entire vehicle. If it stays perfectly upright it can actually either hover or slowly gain altitude.

@Pystro 2 жыл бұрын

If the cone was angled the other way (up), the shape would actually self-stabilize the vehicle in the upright position. Let me give two examples with vehicles that are tilted to the right and drifting to the right. (On any vehicle where the lift is stronger than the drag, tilting the direction of the lift to the right will naturally accelerate you to the right.) First, imagine the (original) vehicle with the cone angled down. The forwards blades (the right ones) are at a steeper downwards angle (because the vehicle is tilted right), so they catch more of the sideways flow of air and get pushed down harder than the rear wings. That means the vehicle will increase it's tilt and you get into a feedback loop. Now imagine the same rightward tilt and rightward motion, but for a vehicle with a cone tilted upwards. Now, the rear wings will be at a steeper angle and catch more of the sideways air flow, eventually stabilizing you. You may still get into an oscillation if the stabilization comes after too much of a time lag, or you may run into the problem of helicopters with ducted fans, which naturally self stabilize so much that their maximum sideways tilt allows them to reach only walking speed, but at least it has a chance of working.

To be honest, the way to make it work would be to put it in water. This is already pretty much exactly how jellyfish swim. It's obviously capable of producing thrust, the problem being the amount of thrust is less than its weight.

@captainstroon1555 2 жыл бұрын

This wonderful creation featured in the opening to my favourite childhood movie: Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines. And this reminds me of another failed flying machine which features in that movie: the Passat Ornithopter. Yes, you have built ornithopters before, but the Passat Ornithopter was special. It had four wings and a cigar shaped body and that's it. Steering was done through the second pair of wings and the first pair flapped up and down to provide thrust. The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome where it is exhibited nowadays calls it "quite possibly the most aerodynamically challenged aircraft in their collection". It's hard to find footage of it (besides watching the movie and the website of said Aerodrome) but I really suggest you check it out. It might be quite the challenge to get it to fly.

Hello! Back with another comment, I would love to see you make another version of this! What I have in mind would essentially be the same vehicle but with something that might make it fly! I think that if you added a second copy of the wing mechanism underneath the pistons spinning in the opposite direction/opening and closing at the opposite time of the top propeller it might actually work, the reason I believe this is because when you initially start the machine it pushes off the ground and that's where the momentum seems to come from, if you have this opposite set of blades it should act as drag to keep the machine in place as it pushes the top set of blades upwards and it would counter the torque keeping the vehicle more stable. Keep making great videos!

Well interesting concept... My best guess is that this is Biologically inspired since Birds feathers have a similar effect as those flaps, when moving the wings up the feathers let the air pass through, closing and shoving all the air downwards when flapping the wing. That lowers the energy needed to raise the wings again, not generating lift... The Wings themselves generate lift through forward movement an by pushing air downward... Not by rotating in a circle XD Thank you for your effort at creating it in Trailmakers and giving some entertainment and knowledge to us all ^^ Please keep it up Scrapman

@grummanschumann6475 2 жыл бұрын

my theory as to why the cone was spun is because it would help the flaps stay more horizontal, so on the down stroke, the flaps have much less distance to travel in order to close and capture air. the flaps are probably also able to rotate by 180 degrees, so the spinning guarantees that each flap closes the proper direction. also, if there were no spin, there would also be much less air encouraging the flaps to close, like dropping paper vertical to the ground, the paper will fall and cut right through before *eventually* rotating enough to then become horizontal.

Hi there Scrapman rather than the concept of this flying car, I think this inventor thought of the Slinky effect. You know with gravity that if you stretched a slinky from top to bottom at a vertical angle then drop it you get the effect of the top needing to come down first in order for the bottom to fall, meaning that it is in a temporary state of zero motion which is keeping it up in the air until the top comes down. So I theorized that he might have been thinking of that but trying to do the reverse and continuously keep zero motion but use the top to push upward. Sorry for the long text, I just like explaining something that might be funny or interesting if not at all.

You should try a second propeller attached underneath the car, moving down when the top one moves up. Not sure what the wheels would look like in that case, but at least the torque and piston motions should cancel each other out, and make the thing a lot more controllable. Maybe something where it "takes off" facing the side, then you turn vertical once in the air? Or have it where it can tilt up, once it's in position to be ready to take off, so it has a "drive" mode, and a helicopter mode?

the idea of the rotation is that the flaps even though not fully vertical can cut through the air with minimal resistance while the fully horizontally rotated flaps will have the same resistance while spinning resulting is "maximum lift" and minimum downforce. I cannot confirm that this was the creators point with the rotation but that's at least what it would resemble. But i don't think he considered the unstable nature of this and the extreme torque from the huge flaps up top...

The blade movements makes me think of a jellyfish. Which does move through the water. So I can see where the theory of this flying comes from.

But the inventor is lucky he did not get off the ground. Because He be in a world of hurt as it spins, topples, and crashes.

Honestly, if it used tho such feather-like umbrellas, one above the other and moving in opposite directions, then the up-and-down movement of the vehicle might get canceled, and then removing the rotation and using some springs to keep the flaps at a 30 degrees to 60 degrees angle while resting would allow it to not spin wildly. You can then then use 3 gyroscopes for rotation, one for pitching, one for rolling, and one for yawing, to get complete control of the vehicle while in the air, to tilt it in order to move in any direction.

@TheMostUt Жыл бұрын

Yeah, the rotation is def a pre-biasing of the flaps, similar to amplifier biasing. This would make the force required to use the "air diode" more controllable and predictable. Also, the rotation appears to be tied to the pumping action. As one accelerates, so does the other.
