If you were going to have a glider this is what you would need it's silent.Well when your gliding & then you can climb up to hight great stuff.

"Clear Prop!" HAHA i know its the safe and right thing to do, but it is funny watching it when there is only 1 person around and they are holding a camera 100' away! Nice vid, thumbs up!
-
@djbarcode5xyz To recharge, would the prop not have to work in reverse? It might be as inefficient as putting the prop on back to front. Or like an flat-bottomed wing flying up side down.

Fantastic! Congratulations gentleman!

Is it possible to have an electric generator integrated into the propeller to recharge the battery as you fly?

How about a motor powered only by magnets? Check out the video on Metcafe! Problem is that magnet motors will spin until they blow apart with no load on them. Now if you use a 4:1 gear reduction and adj prop, hmmmm.

Is it possible to have an electric generator on board? Yes. Would it be useful? No. You always loose energy; from friction with the air, heat in the engine, friction in a generator, potential energy as you gain altitude e.g. if you were to start with 100% battery and fly to 1000ft, then switch to a generator, you would have to steal energy from the aircraft (slow it down) to charge the battery, eventually you would be on the ground again with 80%(eg) power in the battery
