In February 1923, Jonathan Edward Caldwell, filed for a patent on a device he called the "cyclogyro". It consisted of an airplane fuselage with two paddle-wheel-like attachments in place of the wings. This was only one of many attempts to create a vertical takeoff and landing Cyclocopter aircraft.

This century-old technology used successfully in ships, is gaining traction as an eVTOL main and auxiliary propulsion system. It offers compactness, precise maneuverability, and a stable transition from hover to flight. In this video, I will explain the operating principle of the Cyclorotor and I will go over the pros and cons of the propulsion system that could be powering your future daily commute.
The historic failure of Cyclogyro prototypes can be attributed to one or more of 3 main weaknesses: unsuitable materials, heavy engines and power sources or insufficient knowledge of aerodynamic phenomena.
In recent years, converging technologies and improvements in lightweight materials, electric propulsion systems and batteries have reached a point where they have the potential to revolutionize air travel. The creation of new Cyclorotor systems that benefit from this technology advancements are allowing the development of new Cyclocopter aircraft around the world.
Cyclocopter technology combines the main benefits of rotorcraft and fixed-wing concepts. A CycloRotor has several wings rotating around a central rotation axis at a constant speed. These wings are connected to a freely rotating hub via conrods.

God has said in the Quran: { O mankind, worship your Lord, who created you and those before you, that you may become righteous - ( 2:21 ) [He] who made for you the earth a bed [spread out] and the sky a ceiling and sent down from the sky, rain and brought forth thereby fruits as provision for you. So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) Quran

@@Zugo99 the main rotor blade continues to rotate. The loss of power reduces the lift but does not eliminate it entirely. The pilot maintains control while looking for a landing spot. Once commit, the pilot flies to the landing spot and before landing pulls the collective to maximize pitch and reduce rate of descent to make a the landing. They train for this. So if one of three lifting devices fails on this platform, how does the pilot maintain control?

Propeller is still more balanced though. The rotation X axis is always negative to gravity which creates a better balance. This cyclone rotor is balanced on the Y axis negative to gravity which is good, but if it gets windy or more importantly when it starts raining, that could throw off balance better than having the axis balance centered towards gravity.

So can we talk about the 25kg of lift per rotor(@300rpm). That is that this test bench, with 4 - rotors, can only produce 100kg. This thing is carbon composite, so clearly pretty light weight, but it does not have a battery pack to account for yet. The test bench IO is external. I have doubts that this is even getting off the ground with a passenger and a battery pack. I'm not sure what the upper limits of the rotor speed is, but if it's peak efficiency is at 300 RPM I'm just not seeing it.

@DennisKwasnycia 2 года назад

@@machintrucGaming My bad. Regardless of the RPM, 300 or 3000, it is a constant speed so is not relevant to my questioning the devices ability. 25KG per rotor; how well will the technology scale? If you enlarged the testbench to a size relevant to the 4 seater mentioned, does that power scale? Increased surface area to the rotor blades, but the rotor motors increase in weight as well. To get any sort of range you're likely looking at a 100kg battery, then add passengers, instruments, an interior and a fuselage. Those rotors stop turning and that thing will drop like a rock. Airplanes can glide down with a engine failure, helicopters as well. I would not want this flying over me.

Yeah, no way this is getting anywhere. The only possible use i see for this is if it lifts off, then stops spinning completely, and uses those wings as normal wings that straighten out, has a normal propeller up front, and flies like a normal airplane until it needs to land... Which is also pretty useless but hey, that will at least give it SOME range.

@gracecalis5421 2 года назад

To alleviate the forces on the wings, you could incorporate a lightweight system such as a titanium disc center wing to effectively halve the distortion forces on the wing. this would allow for greater rpms without worrying about excess distortion due to centrifugal force . Naturally such a disc would need to be engineered to be as light as possible and allow for the wing's full range of movement. So it would not be just one piece but a moving cradling system within the support. Alternatively, titanium rods joining the wings into opposing sets, at their midpoint through or around the axle would also lend strength to the wing. On a scaled up model, the weight of the thin titanium rods would have less impact on takeoff and inertia. But I suppose, seeing as the opposing wings need to be in the opposite position in terms of angle of attack, that would need to examined in terms of the nature of the rod and how it allows the wings to move independently whilst still offering enough structural support to justify it's existence. Also. it needs a delta wing on it, like a hang glider. And a jet for propulsion. Sorry for the TLDR nature of the post. Too much coffee. You can get back to your life now.

@microwave311 3 года назад

Correct

@ChubyX 3 года назад

The device is designed to generate lift and not thrust. I think I understand you point though. However; generating lift with rotational motion reduces overall weight of the vehicle because it is reducing the needed parts. The rotor itself carries the wings whilst being attached directly to the rotational axis which is usually the electric motor. Transmisions would alleviate efficiency with torque conversion.

@V100-e5q 3 года назад

@@ChubyX Isn't that the concept of a helicopter? A propeller delivers thrust during every phase of the whole rotation. These funny barrels only at the top resp. bottom of a rotation. And to the detriment of efficiency the not thrust producing phases have airflow resistence. So this is a bad concept from the start. The promotors are simply enamored with the compact looks. Space is not an issue for a plane but weight and efficiency is. What you can do by using lightweight and strong materials can in the same way applied to conventional propellers. And their efficiency being better then.

@V100-e5q 2 года назад

@@jcd-k2s Just like every propeller there is power in and power out. And the rpm is reflecting that. So despite the not so efficient parts closer to the shaft the effective area (calculated by: pitch - area - distance to shaft - free airflow) is what one has to recon with. In other words: look at it as a black box. Then measure how much of the input is converted into thrust. Every part of a propeller blade is delivering its bit of thrust. All the time in a continuous manner. The resistance, drag, is also constant. That rotational drum kind of thingy has fluctuations. And needs for the same thrust (lift) more area for the blades. Because the limited time they contribute. So larger blades translate into increased and constant drag. And even if you design the mechanism so that the blade at the bottom delivers lift it does so at a disadvantageous state because it it is upside down. Built in inefficiencies!

@isaac198428 2 года назад

A single rotor has a gazillion independently moving parts but powered by the same single motor. How do they account for a successful flight/landing with one tip/blade malfunction hence generating unwanted propulsion making it inefficient especially using battery power?

@TeensierPython 2 года назад

So what happens when you lose power? No gliding or auto rotating. Seems like the most complex solution to simple problems. Losing half of the lift ability during rotation of each “wing.” Only lift during top and bottom of rotation. Both sides of the rotation add drag but produce no lift.

On the flip side, gears will need lubrication that belts can do without.

Could even be the same control stick that's normally used for flight input for instant response, the electrics just providing power assist in this case.

The problem I see instantly is vortices created don't seem to be as stable as traditional air displacement propulsion. Basically comparing it to an X axis rotation of a quad drone or helicopter, it isn't as efficient or nearly as stable. And doesn't seem scalable.

Too loud, too inefficient, too much vibration. Could possibly have some weird niche applications maybe.

"...the propulsion system that could power your daily commute". HAHAHAHAHAHA. no. I wish them all the luck in the world, but... c'mon bruh

I personally believe the blades should be razors and you should chase down people that disagree with you. Just sayin'.

Putin is so forward thinking. He even made this advert with footage of Ukraine 4 months before it happened @ 5:51.

the first vehicle of the video is super. the helicopter system of the future, but close the propeller half to the ground and the fuselage and compress the air, it will be more effective to put the propeller that sucks from the outside, a support from me to you. have a nice day.

Also if one of the rotors gives out, the other three will not be able to make up the lift or the thrust. This has been tries many times in the past and attempted numerous times in the hobby market. The physics around this are not there atm for save reliable flight.

With much skepticism, with it being too-complex and whatnot, I'm still curious and supportive of the idea. It works for now and I hope it may in the future!
