Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of using magnets on drone propellers to generate power for controlling the drone's movement. Participants explore the feasibility of this idea, including the calculations needed to determine the power requirements for lifting the drone.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant suggests placing small magnets on drone propellers to generate power for microcontrollers that would control the drone's movement.
  • Another participant questions the feasibility of generating sufficient power, noting that the drone would require additional power to operate the rotors, especially considering efficiency losses.
  • A later reply humorously reiterates the concern about where the additional power would come from, implying that the proposed method may not be practical.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express skepticism about the practicality of the proposed method, particularly regarding power generation and efficiency. There is no consensus on how to approach the problem or the feasibility of the idea.

Contextual Notes

Participants do not provide specific calculations or assumptions regarding the power requirements for lifting the drone, leaving these aspects unresolved.

Hey guys its Saturday and the beer has been on menu. So the topic was " drones using magnet" and little magnets would be placed on propellers and thus they would circulate. Power generated from that could be used in micro controllers to control the movement of drone.

Can someone tell me how to approach to this problem? How to calculate how much power my drone need to be lifted?

the field lines whisk and knots would result. I guess you had whisk(e)y on the menu

And where do you get the additional power from that the rotors will need to keep running? As you won't get 100% efficiency (and probably not even 50%), the drone will need more power than before.

you get the additional power from that = whiskey o0) could be used in micro controllers =neuronal network to control the movement :wink: to calculate how much power my drone=heini:sorry: need to be lifted :rolleyes:
:biggrin:
