The Great Orange Dragon : Activate Beast Mode.
Why not arrive at the Tesla factory in style?
Also do not forget to use the breaking lights and blinkers, captain.
Also exported every single part as a STL file, but the rotors are symbolic of course, as you could insert two prefab RC helicopter motors including inverted top and bottom swash plates, fully RC functional. also the ducts could be equipped with normal drone rotors, like 12 if you double them using the beam that fits across. the core is perfect to house battery space or various RC drone equipment. one could easily fit a camera in the nose of the craft as well.
Included all original 3dsmax drawings and up to final version V8 to explore or adapt as needed. if you have 3dsmax, you will also get all hand drawn files.ive included many notes and thoughts just for preservation :) this project got a bit out of hand for me, a bit large in scale but i hope there are other people out there that can enjoy these designs. a new world awaits. ive tried to add as much visual information that i could, wire frames, etc.
Note to self: *If the blades cover the entire radius of the ship, and the blades have RGB leds on them, you can holographically project any image on them, like the sky recorded above the ship. Perfect digital camouflage to the surface dwellers eye. A apparent translucent [fully see through] ship.
*And if we treated the top rotor with RGB LED's as well, we would of course project an image of the ground onto them, making it appear to other sky dwellers from above as if there is noting there for the eyes to see.
*Gave the rotors some extra love. The orange parts are reflectors, warning other vehicles or birds on the same altitude as the vehicle. The blue strips are Aerodynamically placed LED's on top of the rotor, creating a digital holographic camo projecting the sky or a surface area.
Small update, showing the ultra light fuselage construction, easily 3D printable etc. added a couple details, still need some nice landing gear. Dont want to rush this one, my Adhd is fighting me hard not to ever finish it... Hope you like it, not sure about the green front light.Showing off some of the core, all perfectly fitted. so incredibly much space for batteries or even other things like storage space and stuff... added the orange linings, ive heard Kim wants to order 5 but im not sure i can deliver on time.
Slice through view, demonstrating how it could be built and or printed etc.
Some wire frames showing off the nice topology ive managed to come up with so far, im pretty careful trying not to make any mistakes.
i think this might be my magnum opus, my gift to this world.
Updates WIP.Added front light fixtures, fixed a few small aesthetic issues. Should i go with 6x dual co-axial flux, or just straight up mount 6 jet turbines per thruster arm and use the 3D printed closed compartments as fossil fuel tanks instead of pumping them full with pressurized Helium?Perhaps going Electric, the dual Axial Flux route, combined with many rotors, would keep it very silent. More rotors are probably more efficient as well. They will be built into noise dampening, perforated, protective engine cases.
*If only i knew a brilliant investor gamer god, or a Saudi sheik in need of a new way to travel between elevated landing platforms without the need for ancient roads.
Actually, a set of two heavy vertically and centripetally mounted Gyro rings, on each of the 6 arms, and the inner rings able to rotate and angled for manipulating direction. The Gyro total mass combined, must be heavier than the ships total rest mass, in order to move the ship.
We want the total mass to want to move, using some form of inertia. the faster we spin anything, the less it apparently weighs. initially a mass wants to fall down, but rotation can reduce the direction the mass wants to fall towards. a kid can hold a heavy gyro with one hand.
if we manage to lessen the mass of the heaviest object on board, the other mass [ship] must follow it, where it tends to go. if initially the heaviest mass is at rest, [gyro[ after spinning them up, they will still be the biggest influence of what direction the total mass must go.
One could call it falling up.
Let those who say i can not make a body, appear lighter than it is.... come and poor holes in that one...
Showing off the 3D printable, symmetrical, airtight compartments. Started on some landing gear bays. Added the secondary gyros for visual demonstrational purposes. Highlighting the chambers we could suck a vacuum inside of, lessening resistance, since we are dealing with rotation.
Instead of a normal gyro, we could shoot around a metal ball inside of the cylinders, resulting in the same gyrational forces, but we can now control them separately for more precision, And the force making them spin can be only applied on one point, creating asymmetrical motion.
if the entire craft is airtight, yet equipped with say ballast tanks, motion caused through gyroscopes might even work underwater as well.
But then a water repellent electro magnetic field pulled around the entire craft would be a nice thing as well. if it pushes away water and or air, it might lessen much friction during higher speeds. also a nano shark skin material could be useful perhaps.
