Drone Propulsion - The LATEST Breakthroughs!

This video is just an overview of different drone propulsion systems which I covered before! Thanks for watching!

Nothing that was said about the toroidal prop was true. Ive tested and reported the results extensively

And jet engine powered drones can fly longer than 10 minutes. Drones and other rc aircraft were stupid expensive for my entire life until 10 or so years ago, so if the market for small jet engines increases then the prices will drop. And at the moment you can get one of these engines for around $1500

You folks are killing it with your videos! 🚀 Each video is a tech journey that I'm excited to take. Keep up the fantastic work, and know that your viewers are hungry for more! 📚🎥

Try using an air intake plenum with desiccant..

Ion Propulsion has Hughe Potential if we figure out how to properly power it maybe with the help of ttesla coils that provide energy thru the air / atmosphere ...

Why not have one main fan in the center of a drone blowing down into 4 jet/nozzles that can direct flow in any direction?

I HATE DRONES !!

..all have military application...that's why we're building them..

Great! Another technology the Defense department will ensure gets weaponized.

This is the problem with the world today. Too many idiots trying to reinvent the wheel!

Vehitle? How many takes do you do? Do more maybe

Electric magnetic propulsion is the Way to go but you must keep it in secret and h from the masonic government's or else you could be kill.

Am I missing something, where were the ducted fans

tl;dr Nothing new, same old shit as ten years ago. Saved you 7 minutes, you're welcome.

this week we found out anti gravity ships have been recovered. the world stayed silent. rockets are obsolete. planes jets and rotors are obsolete. anti gravity has been confirmed. non earth humanoids have been recovered and confirmed by the D.O.D.

So when are we getting ionic thrusters?

Flying bird rc application is beautiful 😍

Basically a salad shooter that can fly !!

I like the Ion propulsion. Probably how hover tech will exist in the future for robots/cars.

A centrifugal compressor below a parachute type canopy can replace the common helicopter method of generating lift. This configuration is more efficient in how the kinetic energy of the air is converted into pressure below and even by suction above the canopy.

They should call it the DaVinci drone

When will we see antigravity for drones?😆

I think they should try an experiment where they actually test the sharrow style propeller, since the mit tests didn't actually come close to the design, yet people point to it as a failure for drones

I wonder about a winged drones ability to take advantage of wind currents in the same way birds do.

Ornithopters! I love them.

What about the Magnus effect, either with rotating tubes or spheres? There's also the possibility of using small graphene spheres, reinforced with internal struts with a vacuum inside.

look into T. Townshend Brown and his studies of dielectric stress, in the 1950s he was able to make a disk (capacitor) fly at hundreds of miles per hour. though his experiments were tethered. the tethering was due to high voltage needs to achieve the dielectric stress needed for flight. but it boiled down to this. pump enough electricity into a capacitor and you can achieve flight with no moving parts.

Seems to me the toroidal design will shine in the marine environment...

The smaller the tech becomes that civilians want UAVs to carry, the less efficient drone propellers need to be. Luckily, small sodium batteries are around the corner. Audio & visual is shrinking. Unfortunately, diversified location tech (detecting and targeting), that's less EMP- vulnerable, has yet to evolve in sufficiently diminutive combination tech.
Of course, better propellers extend range, extend the life of materials by reducing cavitation "explosions",
and minimize energy consumption from production "footprint" as well as from driving UAV motors +/- accessories (all of which impact climate, incl even solar-powered friction "thermal pollution").

Has water cavitation research been revolutionizing propeller engineering that's accessible to civilians (for drones & wind-power harvesting, Etc.) who don't use 3D printers?

Some props need to be given to American Anti Gravity who did ionic lifters for many years using a mains power cable attached to the lifter platform

Talk to me I have a patent for the ion propulsion system to be volted.

I urge you to look into the Jetoptera flying craft, which is (obviously) a jet motor based vehicle. I understand it is currently undergoing testing with the military.

The cyclorotor is essentially the impeller used on the original Spinner from Blade Runner.

We as humans always feel what we have and are used too, is the way it will be for some time. Yet history tells us things change, so let's think outside the box and embrace new thinking. for example and only for example, could we have a propellor with ion propulsion combined! Would ions change the boundary layers around a prop in a way that would add an increase in displaced mass. All of which i expect will be shot down by very cleaver experts; and that is OK, yet please just remember: - some of the best thoughts come from thinking like a wild man outside the box of rational processes, and you never know what one thing will change the World.
To end I loved the video, it is very interesting so please keep them coming.

The propeller came from a Chinese toy. DaVinci stole the idea.

Consept

Now add torsion drives to the drones and the propulsion system will be enhanced. Skunkworks already proved the concept.

What you said at the end of the video is sad but correct, the propeller is going away any time soon

Buen compendio de propulsores dron.

This video gave me an education on drone propulsion systems. I am just fascinated with the unique technology which goes into the drone units. Pat yourself on the back fella for sure.

The thumbnail is sci-fi pasta maker

It's not rocket science. I'd like to see drones powered by gasoline engines. Drones could be designed after heavy lifting helicopters, dual rotor helicopters and blimps.

Would it be cool in a James Bond movie?
