This Propeller will Change Aviation Forever!
These strangely shaped twisted-toroid propellers look like a big step forward for the aviation and shipping businesses. They are much quieter than regular blades, both in the air and on the water, and they are much more efficient. The purpose of a propeller is to move a material, usually air or water, by making it spin. In some ways, they are different versions of the Archimedes screw, which was probably used in ancient Egypt hundreds of years before Archimedes wrote about it in 234 BCE. But when it comes to rotating devices, there haven't been many big design changes in a long time. For example, propeller-driven aircraft still use twisted-aerofoil bladed propellers like the ones Chinese kids played with 2,400 years ago, even though they aren't much better than the wooden propellers that the Wright brothers made in wind tunnels in 1903. Screw-shaped blades are still used on boats, and some of them date back to the 1700s. So it's interesting that a couple of groups say they've shown that a very different shape works better in both the air and the water. Specifically, they say that strange twisted-toroid ring shapes are both much quieter than traditional designs and so much more efficient, especially in the water, that they could be a huge step forward.

I'm far from an expert on the subject but Aviation is one of my all-time favorite subject hats off to the engineers they come up with these designs and if you look in the beginning of the history of Aviation and down the years some of these ideas were thought of but we're ahead of their time and at the time they might not have been perfected but with the technology we have the computing power ideas and dreams someone invented back in the past are coming to fruition now I think it's just great. I got my love of Aviation from my father he was a pilot on a B-17 during World War II boy I miss my father a lot the things that that man went through and all the missions he completed during World War II in Europe when he was on bombing missions over Germany I can only imagine I remember him telling me that the anti-aircraft and the flag from the anti-aircraft bombs exploding in the air looks so sick that you could walk on it and I have a picture of my dad's with his best friend Captain Maddie standing next to their bomber with holes and bigger giant trash cans curled up at the top the metal was curled up at the top from the anti-aircraft exploding under the wing anyway my gas Gilbert Martinez was one hell of a man and thanks to him I learned to fly I got off subject but I remember my cat telling me of all the Innovations happening in aviation during WWII just reminded me of this new propeller design they have things keep progressing straight knowledge is just great

I would say propeller technology has come a long way since the Wrights. This propeller was thought to be quieter and more efficient but it was just about a wash as to those parameters. That was the conclusion back in the Sixties and Seventies. You can still find these propellers, on mixers.

@robertmatch6550 Жыл бұрын

Propeller form design theory has advanced certainly, but the Wright brothers deserve most of the credit for realizing that they could design their aeronautical propellers around a wing section that varied in angle of attack along the radius. Many supposed well researched and better financed would-be inventors conceived of propellers which were simple spirals. The efficient propellers designed and constructed by the Wrights enabled them to get into the air with minimal hrsepower from their home-built gasoline engine and is one of the main reasons they deserve credit for first in powered controllable flight.

If equipping an aircraft with one of these propellers, how would you "feather" it in the event of any engine failure ?

@guntharreform1864 Жыл бұрын

Concerning fixed-wing prop planes, how would you feather the prop to prevent drag, should the prop beccome disabled?

@a-fl-man640 Жыл бұрын

twins you can feather the prop, not sure about turbines but high performance singles let you control the pitch to a degree, not feather. the fact this prop can do neither seems like an aviation deal breaker to me except for fixed pitch propeller planes which tend to be lower performance.

@timmccrory5814 Жыл бұрын

What about airplanes that have variable pitch propellers in order to take advantage of thinner atmosphere, higher engine speeds, and Fuel and air mixtures. This type of propeller would be a non-starter.

I own a Cessna 180, I have a McCauley 2 blade prop which costs 11K .. these props have a pitch control .. so you change this as you fly … If there was a toroidal prop it would be interesting as it wouldn’t have that unit, it would weigh more though. Aircraft aviation is very regulated re safety ..this design is quite old. But make it quieter and fly faster and cost $110K ..it would be interesting to see it made. For me if it was 10 knots faster but saved 20% fuel that would change the game.

@donaldgrant9067 Жыл бұрын

Well in an airplane you have to remember the more power the propeller puts out the more torque it puts on an airplane in the opposite direction. So I don't know if this will work that well on an airplane. If you've watched the movie about the friend in the Korean war that crashed his plane to save a friend, who was black, When the pilot that was scared of landing was coming in and was short, he hit full throttle and spun into the water, well that is about what this propellor on an aircraft might do.
