Drone Pendulum Fallacy
🕑 Added 2019-06-24 18:03:13 +0000 UTCApologies for the lack of updates recently, the gas thruster drone project left me with no spare time to think of the next project. I think I might start alternating between complex hardware projects (such as the gas thruster drone) and simpler theory projects (such as this and the trebuchet parachute video).
For my next project, I want to experiment with the Coanda effect. I'm not sure exactly what to do with it yet, but maybe some sort of coanda quadcopter.

The controllers have more time to react if you spread out the mass on long arms and increase the moment of inertia.

I'm thinking of making four of these: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF92B6Gon3M and mount them together in a quadcopter configuration, so it will be for lift and control. But I want to make it a little more complex somehow.

This was very informative and was a really good demo to show the fallacy of the pendulum. I'm used to people discussing it regarding rockets, but this is the same thing. I'm even more interested in the coanda effect design you have going on. Are you going to use a coanda disk for lift, or just coanda "thrusters" for control?
kudos for explaining the effects very well
I'd be really excited to see an application of the Coandă effect that isn't just levitating a ping pong ball with a hair drier. Be prepared for a lot of (other) excited Romanians in your comments :D
