The flight control computer achieves that at millisecond intervals using on board accelerometers and gyros. DC brushless motors (the kind used in most drones currently) respond equally efficiently (i.e. almost instantaneously) to Electronic Speed Controller inputs based on sensor feedback...
In my simplified example (our functional mock up) the motors are the same, and experimental results will be had. But the real result we will be going for will be in a flying vehicle with a spinning impeller for downward thrust, and we will be counteracting that rotational force using a...
Good point, the armature of the motor will be spinning even though the body is not. That essentially adds to the moment induced by the entire assembly. I'll dissect a motor to get that internal geometry and make my best estimate on it.
I've schematically laid it out (accompanying mock up). I'm looking for some guidance on the controlling equations and principles to make the (relatively simple I think) calculations. A free body diagram would just be a 2D version of this with the variables labeled. But the missing piece of my...
How do I determine the required combination of spin rate and disc mass to counteract the inertia of a second spinning disc? I have complete knowledge of and control over both disc masses and spin rate and geometry. Let's say Disc A geometry, mass and spin rate are fixed and constant, so I can...
