You may not know this, but brushless PWM motors have an optimal speed/blade pitch for differing densities. If you run them at their peak operating point per fan curve data, you can switch on and off fan banks and a constant RPM/pitch angle and optimize your current use for the same thrust, thus giving you longer run time on the same batteries. This is one of the reasons modern prop airplanes have both adjustable prop pitch and rpm.

I would highly suggest adding some sort of protection for the user. Like a lightweight wall between the motors and the user. I fear someone can be basically stabbed with shrapnel from any motor blades if there is some sort of catastrophe. You have to think like this. If one motor destroys their blades, those blades can cause a chain reaction of damage in other motors. That’s a lot of shards to throw at the back of a user.

[@SirDragonClaw]

Four things you could improve. Although the last is more of a guess than an estimate. 1. Remove the middle vertical row of motors and props, they won't be as effective as your body blocks much of the airflow. 2. Use 25% larger props and engines (but with just the 2 vertical rows on each side) 3. Make ducts with a hexagon exterior and then you can have a more ridged frame and possibly a better more compact motor layout. 4. Add a slight (+ or - 10%) steering channel and have the right or left motors spin up or down slightly to give you better directional control?

The interesting thing is you could do two larger ducts say 18" across and put one under each arm to improve airflow around you body. The pack would not put all the weight behind you then.

[@up4open763]

I thought the same thing. As I go through the landings, I wonder if that doesn't make a danger to you or the craft if you fall. To reduce damage possibility to the blade frame you could gap, covered or uncovered, the ducts on sides as they reach the fans, to allow some pinch movement, with some risk of other things or personal parts getting pinched. I was also thinking put the fans in a vertical halo form, and just gapping behind him, but then I think you're risking running into size difficulties and controlling the chute when transitioning.

[@david7384]

Does this whole comment section just not know about paramotors lol

[@up4open763]

@@david7384 I had seen them but they're a different design. The entire fan is used in that design, even when there is muting of the airflow behind the body, because the blades are flanking and above as well in their cycle. Those engines directly behind are only always pulling around the body, and that seems to us to reduce their efficiency, I believe for the drag across the torso.

Ducts only work on counter-rotating blades if they are shaft driven and RPM matched. The 2 motor design is more efficient when the duct is off because outside air makes up for the rpm mismatch allowing the motors to fight less.

[@penguinista]

The ducts make it safe, not just efficient. Still want that efficiency, of course. Might consider moving the motors out to the sides and leaving a strip with no motors behind the pilot. There is not much airflow through there.

Great video - the mattress is interesting :) I fly with electric motors and I can advise. The engines directly behind your seat are not efficient because you are unknowingly creating a closed system (it's about the same as blowing your mouth into the sailboat you're sailing on) and some sort of "confusor" on every engine doesn't really help. The classic paramotor with one large propeller does not have this problem, because its blades extend beyond the profile of the seat and there is no thrust in the center of the propeller. You have only two options - move your propeller "mattress" far back, or reduce the number of engines to 2 with higher power, which will be spaced apart to a larger spacing of your back (the diameter of one propeller should be 28 "). Both propellers should rotate against each other - it eliminates the gyro effect.No "confusors" or two propellers on one axis of the engine, because it has no noticeable effect. :)

[@JaredConnell]

I wonder if he took half of them off and removed the ones behind his body and spaced them out more if it would fly better and last longer due to less weight and better efficiency and everything you mentioned.

[@ChessMasterNate]

You don't want it too far back, it will try to twist the pilot, trying to get ahead of him. That could get very dangerous.

[@DL-kc8fc]

@@ChessMasterNate In practice, this is done by placing the propeller with an electric motor on a rod 0.75 m long behind the pilot's back. This propeller has folding blades like an umbrella, which expands by centrifugal force when the electric motor is switched on. In the motorless flight mode, the propeller folds down again like an umbrella thanks to the spring. In the case of a "mattress", it would be necessary to relieve it of the unnecessary things I mentioned somewhere and, of course, to move it away from the pilot's back (if he insisted on his concept). The partial rotation of the pilot to the right and left, as I noticed in the video, is due to the higher center of gravity, so something in this direction would have to change to prevent this. The pilot of a classic paramotor must be able to cope with the gyro effect of his propeller, so it is again up to the pilot and his experience.

Cant wait for the future when surrounded by that sound 247 by all delivery drones... I love that sound.

[@securityguardcommand9792]

I imagine that placing that many thrust sources together creates a ton of turbulence that interferes with each other and reduces overall thrust.

[@Carsten_Hoett]

Looks like a project, but I would suggest erasing the fans in the middle of your body as they are shielded by it and can provide less drag as the other more exposed ones as the air flux is denser and can therefor provide more pulse.

[@mcsbikelife3829]

This is kinda what I do for a living I’m an electro Tech , I build circuit boards to huge power banks and controllers etc etc . I don’t think folks appreciate the time Peter puts into this . The wiring in itself is a undertaking, very nice my friend very nice!!!!!

Please send me the link to your videos about similar electric experiment. I will be your subscriber😃

I invented the drone. I'm so proud that it had been embraced and being used for these types of things. Always remember that safety is the priority.

I love the very clear enunciation of "sustainable" just to make sure the advertisers get their algorithmic bang for buck.

[@evennorthug2585]

Fun and fascinating. The innovation here is propulsion by multiple engines. The motorized paraglider has been around for a while. The paraglider even works with no engine at all, provided some sloped starting ground. The race for personal transport by air will hardly include a paraglider. Still, the mere number of viewers, 4,3 mill. at present, is an achievement in itself, indication the enormous interest and potensial in the man/drone concept. The actual example is scientific and quite brave, reminding of the early flight pioneers, risking their lives to back the experiment.

[@c4apple480]

ignore the bot here, there are already some production paramotor power packs with 4 small electric motors instead of the initial electric motor design with one larger motor, you should look up "electric paramotor" or "4 motor paramotor" they're pretty neat!

[@jasonfirewalker3595]

Lacking data from a wind tunnel I can only surmise that the middle two rows are creating more drag than thrust. I think removing them would not significantly effect performance while extending battery life and therefore flight time. Alternately the inner 2 rows of motors could be placed in a lateral configuration at hip hight.

[@billcallahan9303]

Keep perfecting it! We'll come back for your Part 2! Great show!

[@JohnUllrey]

Peter, I can't wait to see version 2 of your electric paramotor. I've thought a lot about building an electric paramotor and I really think two counter rotating props is the way to go. That way you wouldn't need to worry about designing in torque steer correction into the frame. You should consider watching the "Insights Into Paramotor Geometry" series that Miro (creator of Scout Paramotors) released on the Scout Aviation KZbin channel.

[@ddg3210]

Great build, but the true hero is the video editor and that awesome graphical match cut at 3:23!

[@ZAN-THE-GOAT]

I seen the drone taxi in Bali being tested- bluebird taxi drone which flew from Kuta to ubud and back- amazing and wish I filmed it but think they will upload to KZbin

now this was super cool!!! I was hype to see him land safe on the first real run!!! Keep improving the concept!!

[@tommycabanaw4875]

2021 is great if you're paying attention to these types of wonderful builds!

[@maxwellswanson6951]

IMO, less but larger prop and motor combo, to obtain same wing span to power ratio, but also remove the ones from directly behind your body profile, maybe keep one low voltage anti eddy prop behind you, while ascending it acts like another motor. While descending it shuts off or reverses separately and allows the outer props to guide landing while the natural/powered eddie allows you to slow naturally/powered and predictably.

[@maxwellswanson6951]

P.S. yall are stunt devils just going for it, absolutely admire it, the redundancy is an awesome feature.

After I found out who you went training with I felt like I missed out by not learning with them this summer. Went with a locally based instructor instead. I too, live in Ohio 😆 Maybe I'll see you up there some time. Just watch out for me if you're about to launch some rockets.

Sometimes I think about how crazy it would be to be able to fly, and how hard it is to make flying machines and then I watch this guys video and he makes it seem so feasible

[@jeffreyhill1011]

To be fair, it's not as if it is a novel creation. It's a propulsion system change. Not taking anything at all away from him or at least not attempting to. This build is the bees freaking knees. It is not, however, creating a new wing concept for an airplane from nothing but an idea in your head. Alllll that nonsense out of the way. Build yourself a paramotor! I really want to try out different engines but anything I have considered has already been attempted and either failed or worked and is now in production lol. I have a gigantic almost 7ksqft fab shop and a similar size wood shop and I have the ability to do carbon fiber and fibreglass at home as well and the one thing I want to make is Cosworth during the early '90s when they had the insane V10 non turbo Formula 1 engines made a single cylinder to test changes and it's 90HP and 10kRPM basically what I'm saying is I want to start from a solid block of aluminum and mill an engine block from raw stock. I'll likely buy the piston as I don't think figuring out how to forge a shape that complex would be fun and while obviously cost isn't too big a concern for me, in the case of the quality of alloy needed for a piston I may have a hard time finding enough material to make enough attempts to get it right lol. Forging isn't exactly something I do daily.

They have made their own resaw company and they are 17 now started when they were 15 and last year made enough money to buy brand new F250 pick up. So we have made a bunch of cool stuff. They have made homemade go carts and mini bikes, including welding the frames themselves.

When the follow camera is stabilized you have to stream it into a VR glass and fly the thing in TPS viewmode. That would be EPIC :)
