Knot Wing
foam strip folded into a mobius knot | |
Make a flapping propellor out of a rectangle of foam folded
into a mobius knot. It works great.
circle wing airplanes, making one of these O wings a mobius strip would slightly, IMO, be less efficient yet could be viewably artistic

Seems to be many kinds of...

mobias knots. Some might be awful propellers. [popbottle, Jan 05 2017]

Pah. You're bluffing. Video or it never happened. |

circle wing airplanes at [link], making one of these O wings a mobius strip would, IMO, be slightly less efficient yet could be viewably artistic. Flip the thing next to the hull and it might be almost identically efficient. |

[JHC], when you start getting criticism of feasibility from [beany], you know something, somehow has gone terribly wrong. |

Flap it how? Spin it in a circle on one of its axes? bend it back and forth along one of its axes? I imagine the twist could serve as a screw, but the physics of various degrees of turning a propeller have been studied out the wazoo. Literally. I am on the john as we speak shitting out studies of propeller twist ratios. That was a lie. I'm actually shitting out a rehash of a tired business ethics paper because my school is not willing to pay for teachers to review original research. It's my fault though, I flunked out of a university that challenged me. Why yes, Ritalin is awesome, thanks for asking. |
