Inventor and Phyicist Thomas Senkel Created a sensation of the internet with the video of 2013 October by his hand of an elicopter of an artiscoal 16-hour aricolf “Volocopter” drawing who add two rotors more, a long-term hybrid and long-term hybrid to go to the power of battery 100 per cent.
The new design call 1,8-meter, 0.5-kilogram of carbon charcoal, each coupled with a motor. I am angry around a hub into two concentric circles on a box of one or two people.
After awarding the concept of vololiopter a prize Lindbergh for Innovation in April, Yolanka wulff, executive director of Certain. and Anne morro tomorrow Foundation LindberghAdmitted the idea of the Multiper’s idea of the first time. Looking because of the appearance, however, I tell the Age work, which were the Changemicies.
All three attributes arrive thanks to the rim of the evol of the elements of classic helicopter. First, energy-rotor the main mass rotor, transmission, tail tail and the rotor of the tail went. Huge cabs on a cabin of normal chopper creep ascenger, but their mass creates a high degree of stress and clothes on honey. And the small glue rotor, attached to a boom behind the cabin, maintain the body of helicopter as the opposite direction as the ranges rise about 30 per being.
The glass of the flying glasses individually will not believe the torque that a large rotor great produces, and offer rednodinance for safety. Hypothetically, the volocopter could fly with 12 functioning rotors, while the rolls were not all rotors together on one side of the construction of the aircraft property.
Without the SMICIBRY SECTION, the artisheria would be lighter, making more fuel and reduce the physical complexion of power and bookshelves. Né the flycooper needs an energy transmission. In fact, “There will be no mechanical connection between the gas motor and lami,” says Senkel. This means fewer power loss points and more redundancy for security.
The volos design removes dependence on a single source of power to the lame. As a hybrids vehicle, the flycopter would have a powered motor, in this case an engine capable of generating 50- to 75 kilowatts, typical aircraft. Instead of mecanically drive the rolls, the engine generates power for electrical motors as charged to beat on board lyrics. We should fake it fails, batteries are expected to provide the power of settlement enough so the craft could make a controlled landing.
While Elicoters navigate changing the tone of the main rotor tone and tail, the volocoptering of the volocopter depends on the speed of individual rolls. Although complex, it is more accurate in the beginning to control a artischianst current using the game, a control sticket and a workshop and workshop and attire is a workshop and workshop and workshop and attle is a workshop and attle and a workshop
The first impression of wulff on the volocopter design is uncommon. A Promotie’s Video and Scarf and Fiber and Fiberized Kids and Faran and Bucks Fiber and Faranga under this point is not lost in Senkel.
“I understand these skeptical views”, he says. “The concept of design looks like a blender. But we really make you a safe flying machine.
That would be progress in yourself. Multicopter 1 looked at something from an episode episode of MacgyverComplete with the landing facility that participated in a silver yoga ball. Senkel Rod Seed AMID all those rolls fed by lithies batteries. Multicopter 1 has generated an average of 20 kilowatts to push and he was away just a few minutes.
There is a reason why the experimenter briefly developed and only once.Simkel describes that first craft like and screwed together. ” Placed on the same platform will compare the cinnnic threads, he says of the fact that it is, he claims rhetorically.
Other than by piling safely under the lame, the design of the revised volOcoocopter has to operately operately the same as the initial prototype. The design calls for three to six redundant accelerometers and GyRoscopes To measure the volocopter position and orientation by creating a feedback loop that gives the stability of the craft and makes it easier, the Senkel says.
The volocopter’s revisitory prototype could be debuted as soon as the next spring. The first production patterns, available in maybe three years old, I know for at least one hour at the speed of the interancing helicopter Helicopter’s Helicopter’s Helicopter Highness about 3,000 meters. I am “This could change our lives but I don’t expect anything for 10 years,” Senkel adds.
God that most technology required to build the volocopter, “This idea is quite easy to understand,” says Carl Kün, E-Volo engineer Smoke gmbha society that integrates electrical systems and components.
Like the sennanium, küht has a preview of briefly shuts his repeated emphasis on the standard of the technology of the technology. “I guess I-fly I’ll have (a prototype) in three years that can make the jobs – that will lift them one oe two people from one point:” I give.
The greatest immediate limits looked regulators. Eg, European aviation regulators consider any electric system more than 60 volten and regulate these aggressive tens, küny tells. As a consequence, the volocopter will operate under that threshold. The artisto will also take more than 450 kilograms to stay in the ultral category, which is also submitted to the daring aircraft of the government, according to SENNER.
Lindbergh Wulf says organization’s judges felt e-flax had “a percentage of 50 percent of suckers, or did not give the innovation prize.” Asked if she will have a line until one day, she says, “I’m sure I would. It seems very compelling.”
