ROCKET HELICOPTER

[TheMrBlinx]

A single blade, whether it is propeled with tip jets or a motor will never work. "For every action, there is an equal but oposite reaction". Learn that, then contemplate why all the WORKING personal helicopters have TWO counter-rotating blades.

[MrNeoFromMatrix]

where is the hecrotor ?

[LandroverB1]

not true if you spin the pilots body it may fly

[p33092c]

It's a fake!!!

[JohnsCoolVids]

danananana inspector gadget!

[SDLively]

It slices, it Dices... It even makes Jullian Fries!

[BigChief014]

looks very inefficient..

[MrBoggerly]

Yeah, looks great - until it all goes wrong in mid-air!!

Nice animation though - that definitely works, ha ha ha!!!

[ValmisFilm]

nice idea, will it be made?

[Gerkahn]

You are ofcourse completely correct, im being spannerish

[swish007]

it went soi soi soi soi swa swa swa

[Gerkahn]

add a second set of rotors on top to make it contra rotating, currently the torque created by the blades wil cause his body to turn in the opposite direction, resulting in a massive headache, also there seems to be a lack of rotorhead control

[rronmar]

@Gerkahn Tip-jet powered rotors don't generate any torque effect to the main body of the aircraft. To get torque effect, you must power something thru a shaft, such as a traditional helicopter gearbox does to power the main rotor, which requires a tail rotor to counter the torque to spin the main rotor. some tip-jet powered aircraft have tail rotors, but it is in flat pitch most of the time, and is only used to create yaw or turning of the fuselage when desired.

Raise you hand and wave! o wait you can't

[terrysandroid]

The guy is strait as a plank

[Napoleon501ste]

that will never work, the guy will start spinning around.

[dcforever033089]

@Napoleon501ste He might not start spinning around because this is not like a traditional helicopter design. With a traditional helicopter, the energy to move the blades is pushing against the mass on the rotor. With this design, the energy to move the blades is pushing against the air. the only thing that would cause the pilot to spin is the friction in the rotor, but that can be fixed by adding a little extra push from the rotor along with the rockets.

[Napoleon501ste]

@dcforever033089 I don't say it cannot be fixed but with the current design it will spinn. Like you say, because of the friction in the rotor.

[mergedbear]

excelente ingenieria mexicana

[werner111]

that is a realy interesting design

[Ilive4pie]

Software he used is from Apple right?

[RotorHead2652]

ok ... can someone explain how the torque is taken care of coz even tho the powere is coming from the blades not the chasis theres still torque reaction from bearings, swashplate, anti rotation guide ??/

[secretmike558]

wtf i had similar idea XD

[nosuchthingasshould]

to all who worry about counter-rtation, this only occurs if propulsion is within the fuselage, spinning the shaft of the rotor, wing-tip propulsion eliminates that problem. there are working prototypes that use wingtip propulsion, no 'little propellers' required. here the problem would rader be fuel consumption and noise, like withall jetpacks, plus the added concern of shedded passers by.

[twistaa95]

one word NO!!!

[select899]

@twistaa95 thats 3

[twistaa95]

@select899 no is the word R tard

[select899]

@twistaa95 learn English much?

[twistaa95]

@select899 your an R tard if you dont know what R tard means

[select899]

@twistaa95 Kid, get aids

[twistaa95]

@select899 no you fag

[sirpc2]

That thing doesn't work... I mean look at a helicopter, they have a minor propeller that pushes sideways against the bigpropeller... In this video, the man only got a flat sign... Im sorry but this would not work... Maybe if there was a little propeller on it... Put then it would just be a helicopter on the head of a man :)

[kimnormann]

what a hairdryer

[jontenerife1984]

He needs the second propeller that turns in the opposite direction, to compensate the rotation.Personally I do not believe that it works.

[toastylee123]

wouldn't the whole thing spin since there is friction between the spinning rotors, and nothing to stabilize the person like a tail prop does on a normal helicopter?

[Salguodelaev]

haha ignore the gyro effect

[Leopoldo888]

@Salguodelaev No "gyro" effect (Torque) because the rockets om the tips of the rotary wings don't produce any!. The torque effect occurs when the impulse of the rotor comes from the central axis.

[diegopizana]

the first 10 seconds is the sprinkler version

[toobigaman]

I would like to think it could autogyro in the event of a malfunction or exhausted fuel supply maybe exploading bolts to sever the prop as to allow the use of a parachute in an emergency situation. I like it and would love to have one keep at it and good luck..

[MldnightCIub]

what are you guys complaining about....THIS IS THE FUTURE!!!!

[scary00001]

hmm when does his head get cut off?

[11jeopardy11]

wouldn't you just be spinning around and around??

[103dingdong]

@11jeopardy11 no, there is no tourqe by having no drive shaft there fore there is no spinning

[jericoferrari55]

first i thought its gmod

[zarud98]

@lionsforlyons that would be true if there were absolutely no friction at the shaft that connects to the person. But, there is so it would exert a force on the person, even if very little

[warren52nz]

@zarud98 yes that's right. And anyway if it's to be useful you have to be able to steer it so you're back to a tail of some kind probably.

The big question would be how far can it go on a tank?

[zarud98]

@warren52nz Yea i think gas "jets" o the tail would be easiest and safest. and if one could use helium or another very light gas it would go pretty far i would guess because it could be compressed so much, but it would be a little expensive lol

[zarud98]

this is actually a real way people make gyro coptrs. There is a need for a tail rotor though.

[KDEngineering]

Oh great another useless bullshit render

[eiremasmor]

Go go Gadget Fail.

[Ztop15]

Perfect to kill zombies!!!

[tyler2260]

dont move your hands or you wont have any

[Zappina]

lol....that was stupid.

[grejuli97]

Dream on:)

[lazarus1995]

lol

[studionightbird0]

i'm not sure but...would this even work. I mean there is no rotos or anything to stop you from spinning to the left. I could be wrong but I'm sure it needs either a tail rotor or a second pare of blades spinning in the opposite direction (like a 3 channel rc helicopter)

[itsaguinness]

ah the wonders of baking soda... is that jack white flying?

[cathyruby80]

THE THRUST OF the rockets would send you fuckin away

[SilverBoarder312]

wow that guy was so brave to fly that thing. he looked so serious the whole time

[antfaney]

i can see some blood and tear,s comming on..

[Orlaiscity]

cool

[savageguy25]

this concept has been around a long time...ive seen full size helis using this system

[LegendLength]

Did the full size helis have a tail propellor? :)

[DirtBagPhil]

What?....that wasnt real?...lame

[thoosejakob149]

really .. you need a cookie for telling us this isnt real ;o

since your not so smart im telling you i meant i ironic :)

[DirtBagPhil]

Hey fuck head!......I was clearly joking.

[thoosejakob149]

yea... im sure you was. . .

[denis050ziom]

you wil spin like hell you need a tail

[TehPyroFang]

hahahaha!!!!!!! lmao

reminds me of somthing from inspector gadget xD

[legotransformersonic]

lol! yeah, Go Go GadgetCopter!

[FatKittensMedia]

what a nice way to have spinning blades over your head, this is the worst jetpack idea I've ever seen.

see the real ones

[thoosejakob149]

yeah... but i dont think it would work either :s

[PDXclan]

thanks but i have my own opinion

[SummerTheFuzzy]

thats just asking for dismemberment (check splling)

[darkslain]

and dont say hello to your friends while flying if you dont want one hand only :)

[connelly6375]

i think the back fin tilts and forces the unit side to side as the air from the top rotor passes by it. One way or another something has to stop this thing from spinning no matter where the thrust is originating

[StirolXXX]

in fact by having engines at the end of propellers - it doesn't have this "spin" effect ;)

[Planbskate230]

It needs another force to prevent the user from spinning with the propellers.

[jaxes88]

yeah theres really no part to keep the operator from spinning like crazy, helicoptors have a rotor on the tail boom for this purpose, or as one fellow mentioned above have another set of blades on top of the main one and have them rotate in opposite directions to cancel out the spinning force

[flosen1979]

there is no spinnig effect,because there is no torque which would cause that. there is no engine. just gas that comes out at the end of the blades,which makes them rotate.

[codyduncan]

Wouldn't this require a second propeller to keep the pilot from spinning around?

[autonymouse]

or a massive forward velocity.... lol

[coraxdjay]

dont bring them ideas.... i would like to see this with real persons lol

[jasonguyperson]

Wouldn't it make more sense to position the exhaust farther inward? (perhaps 1/2way down the blades)

[th3boy75]

no because it would take more energy to achieve the same rpm's then it would in the original configuration.

[novokarpati]

The endurance of each was about a minute, so that the purpose was for embassy personnel to escape approximately up to 2 miles from takeoff.

I think that one could make such with cedar airfoils, and aluminum frame/harness, with commercially available solids, fired via hand controls.

[novokarpati]

The one here pictured was actually made with the pressure tanks holding high concentrate hydrogen peroxide (oxidizer), with a fuel of petrol, and mixed at the nozzle tip with a pure platinum catylizer, which made the ..then mixed/metered fuel combust, under extremely high pressure (somewhere in the area of 900-1500psi. They did tethered tests on this and many others. They actually had a solid rocket (not unlike Estes F, G, H series mounted in threes on each tip.

[novokarpati]

Ahhh, sorry folks, this has already been tried, and the 50's & 60's by the US Gov't. After WWII much experimental work was done on personal carriers for armed personnel/observers.

[thegreypawn]

Well I know I always trust my life to the ability to not move at all.

[kdvlder]

It is possible but a crap idea. it won't have a counter spin effect ( the opposite would occur) for the simple fact that the engine and rotor are one piece together. normal helis have a tremendous amount of counter torque in the fuselage creating the need for a tail rotor to counter that. With this one if you look there is a tail that would suffice just fine as a stabilizer from the down draft. the whole thing looks very inefficient though. It might never even get off the ground literally.

[Slench101]

so true

[pinguferrari]

How about the recoil of the spinning rotor?!

It will not be safe, as you would also be spinning around.

[magicfreak123]

No recoil, it stays stationary, Go to vortechonline(dot)com/jets

[sonnycrissangel]

audio???

[expiondi]

imposible,it must spin 100timeds faster

[magicfreak123]

No it doesn't it's basic autogyro aviation....

[thecrookinc]

this looks like a fun way to die

[krazyfrenchpilot]

wut happens when that thing runs out of fuel lol

[magicfreak123]

You autorotate to the ground just like an autogyro.....it's like gliding. You'd have to be really stupid to die because of crashing becaues of running out of fuel...LOL

[alooshj]

can't wait for it!

[JoeKlotz518]

SOI SOI SOI SOI SOI

[maco10810]

its quite possible and a good idea

[Kadaj72]

cmon, for real? that is impossible.

[repelets]

how much will 1 of those be ?
