If i wnat to lift/hover my self up 30ft off the groud (i am 110 pounds) how much HP would i need and how much would i need to lift/hover 300 pounds. Please answer TYSM
Yeah basicallyruss_watters said:Lift/hover with what? A quadcopter like thing? That's really dangerous.
Much safer to get a ride on one of these personal drone aircraft...sesefdfsd said:Yeah basically
Damn 1mil USD is a lot though if even i where to make this it would cost me 5 grand (which i don't have)anorlunda said:Here is a place that offers a $1 million dollar prize for anyone who can make that work safely.

Will you be electric or jet fuel powered? Frenchman Franky Zapata's Flyboard lifts ~200 lbs with 5 model jet engines. A rough back or the envelope calculation based on a 45 lb thrust engines each consuming 0.55 L/min with an energy density of 44.6 MJ/kg gives about 2500HP but probably 80% of that power is waste heat.sesefdfsd said:If i want to lift/hover myself up 30 ft off the ground (i am 110 pounds) how much HP would i need and how much would i need to lift/hover 300 pounds.

More power is no problem, keeping stability is.sesefdfsd said:I appreciate the help but that definatly can't lift 300 pounds let alone 20lb

The Jetson machine above quotes a max power of only 88kW which is ~100HP.

Please take the time to type out whole words; it will help your cause here a lot. Is "tr" = "tryn" = "trying"?sesefdfsd said:i am tr

Beyond that, what is your background in feedback and control theory? If you want to design a drone to lift you in flight, you will need a strong background in control theory (plus all the other stuff like aerodynamic propulsion)...
sesefdfsd said:ye, so i made this frame out of aluminum and now i need a motor that can lift 50 pounds (i would then buy a few to support my weight of 110lb)
I'm worried. @sesefdfsd this is a project that is dangerous and expensive to do correctly. To do it poorly is just dangerous. In between is extremely dangerous. For liability reasons we can't help you with this project, and I strongly suggest you abandon it.berkeman said:No worries.
