• Testing

  initial test are proving a little disappointing.

  The motor and support you see hobbled together weigh 2.4g. Best weight 2g.

  At 3.8v getting 0.7g with 2 blades and 1.3g with 3 blades. (Propellers)

  Trying different batteries and plotting curve.

  Then test coaxial setup with and without the duct.

• Scaling

  BART • 05/27/2016 at 12:19 • 0 comments

  The 4 1000kv motors are a bit unwieldy when testing. Figuring out the configuration, and the cost at quantities above the 4...So scaled down to micro core-less motors.

  In total we have 40 core-less motors, and 80 micro props. :)

  Each motor can draw .8A at full load, up to 51k rpm's.

  We are doing thrust testing with the 2 blade v. 3 blade (cheerson x12) propeller, and also stacked with a 2 blade on top and a 3 blade on bottom.

  I will post some pics. Want to clean up my 3d pen work first. ;)

  The goal is to make each column semi autonomous. Using the micro motors we're working out the logistics before we move back to the 1000kv bldc motors.

  Finalizing test before posting anymore.

  Thanks for the views and best of luck to all in the contest!

  Have been working on this idea for a few weeks already.

  Currently I have 4 1000kv brushless motors, several brushed motors for smaller test.

  Cc3d flight controller and 30A esc.
