[Cuit_au_Four, Apr 08 2016] "Slow flight" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_flight [normzone, Apr 08 2016] Resisting the torque could be tricky. But interestingly whimsical anyway.-- RayfordSteele, Apr 05 2016 Eyes to tell whites from yolks?-- popbottle, Apr 05 2016 [RayfordSteele] // 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.-- Alvin, Apr 06 2016 // Resisting the torque could be tricky. //
Resistance is futile ...-- 8th of 7, Apr 06 2016 What about capacitance ?-- 8th of 7, Apr 06 2016 That's a highly charged topic-- hippo, Apr 06 2016 Don't expect us to hand you the answer to that on a plate.-- 8th of 7, Apr 06 2016 Watt again? HB has an Ample supply of pun threads already.-- Voice, Apr 06 2016 Yeah, but some of us are right at ohm in a thread like this.-- normzone, Apr 06 2016 That's Currently the case, but don't Gauss on and on about it. Joule get yourself into trouble.-- 8th of 7, Apr 06 2016 I can see this idea has potential-- hippo, Apr 07 2016 So many bad puns. I'm shocked.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Apr 07 2016 You should be ex-static-- hippo, Apr 07 2016 Anode of caution - we could be accused of droning on and on...-- Canuck, Apr 07 2016 We're just building up a battery of material to draw from. No need to take flight yet.-- normzone, Apr 07 2016 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.-- notexactly, Apr 07 2016 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.-- normzone, Apr 08 2016 //Helicopters are aircraft too, you know.//
That's debatable. I think of them as accident precursors.
//Actually, aircraft ARE capable of hovering//
I've seen gliders landing into a strong headwind with a ground speed of about -5mph.-- bs0u0155, Apr 08 2016 // 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.
// gliders landing into a strong headwind //
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.-- 8th of 7, Apr 08 2016 Yes, but those passengers would feel pretty silly if the wind suddenly changed.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Apr 08 2016 Lovely planes. The uncanny resemblance to the Storch is of course complete coincidence...-- 8th of 7, Apr 08 2016 But can you tell Stork from Porter?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Apr 08 2016 <struggles with decision about which one of [MB] ot [IT] to bludgeon to death first>-- 8th of 7, Apr 08 2016 random, halfbakery
