Resisting the torque could be tricky. But interestingly
whimsical anyway. |
|

Eyes to tell whites from yolks? |

// Resisting the torque could be tricky. // |
|
|
Just have two motors, each attached to a separate beater,
and turning in opposite directions. |
|
|
Added later:
Better yet, would be to use one motor plus gears to drive the
two beaters in opposite directions. |

|
|
That's a highly charged topic |
|
|
Don't expect us to hand you the answer to that on a plate. |
|
|
Watt again? HB has an Ample supply of pun threads already. |
|
|
Yeah, but some of us are right at ohm in a thread like this. |
|
|
That's Currently the case, but don't Gauss on and on about it. Joule get yourself into trouble. |
|
|
I can see this idea has potential |
|
|
So many bad puns. I'm shocked. |
|
|
Anode of caution - we could be accused of droning on and on... |
|
|
We're just building up a battery of material to draw from. No need to take flight yet. |
|
|
Presuming this will be some kind of helicopter (a plane being
unable to hover, and a blimp not having enough lifting
capacity), I think the downdraft might blow the eggs away. |
|
|
Actually, aircraft ARE capable of hovering - it only requires the appropriate conditions and an experienced pilot. I have witnessed it on two occasions. |
|
|
I'm certain it's not a comfortable drill, but it can be done. |
|
|
//Helicopters are aircraft too, you know.// |
|
|
That's debatable. I think of them as accident precursors. |

|
|
I've seen gliders landing into a strong headwind with a
ground speed of about -5mph. |
|
|
// I think of them as accident precursors. // |
|
|
We consider them nothing more than a damn-fool way to commit suicide. All helicopter pilots are clinically insane. |

The Fieseler Storch has such exceptional low-speed stability that there are numerous examples (some on film) of passengers embarking and disembarking when the aircraft is still in the air - but barely moving relative to the ground. |
|
|
This isn't the "leaping from a moving Lysander" kind of stunt - it's much more sedate and decorous. |
|
|
Yes, but those passengers would feel pretty silly if
the wind suddenly changed. |
|
|
Lovely planes. The uncanny resemblance to the Storch is of course complete coincidence... |
|
|
But can you tell Stork from Porter? |
