Helicopter Physics Series Intro - #1 Smarter Every Day 45

Tweet @SmarterYouTube . I would appreciate it if you share this by clicking here: http://on.fb.me/ChopperPhysics . Trust me, there's more to Chopper Physics than you think. I will be releasing the videos at the end of the video over the next few weeks. The wizard pilot is Carl Groover http://www.carlgroover.com/
Carl Flies for the Curtis Youngblood team http://bit.ly/w2ATpl
Carl's Youtube channel is here: http://bit.ly/yqgP12

Outro music "Polecat" created by "A Shell In The Pit" Get it here: http://bit.ly/SED_Album

Sarah Xu created the awesome time-lapse intro.

And the helmet? Thanks Will! I'm glad you also have a melon head!

He followed me while I was running. I must admit I was scared.

@choochinkaddywompus here is your response.. lol my heli is a rave ballistic 700 size and the radio is a jr 9303 - Wingman77tws


If you enjoy Smarter Every Day and would like to help me come one step closer to sending the kids to college click here: http://bit.ly/MicroScholarship4MyKids

Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved.
The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please share the video. If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards their college fund by clicking here:

I wish...that guy's freakin inhuman.

[BigLeprichaun]

I was proud of the fact that I could fly my little helicopter through a doorway without smashing into anything :(

[LordOfKaranda]

not impressive I can do that with mine. Although it normally ends up on the ground a few seconds latter.

[baadshepherd]

I don't know what the last guy said but I agree WTF?!?!?!

[themati921]

co to ma być WTF

[gfalcetano]

No, the square cube law (and probably other physics principles I am unfamiliar with) dictate that the rotor blades of a normal sized heli, assuming that it is to scale with the RC one, do not provide enough lift (surface area pushing air) to move the mass of the the helicopter (volume). Also, the rotor cannot spin fast enough due to centrifugal force (I think).

go to 2:59 and tell me if he is missing a leg

[ramo060504]

is there an order that i should watch the heli videos for maximum absorption?

[corndoghead1]

not just vomit maybe falling peopl from the copper and maybe crashing it

[MrJeChou]

imagine if that were a real helicopter and there were people inside. sooooo much vomit....

[whiterottenrabbit]

WTF! Now I know how they create UFO videos: they hire this guy to fly an illuminated RC helicopter at night.

[cellwilfy]

shit im doing the same thing with a high ping and a chopper in bf3
