Maker Hangar: Episode 2 - Motors/Propellers

[@sailorjohn2224]

Must have a good teleprompter to put out this much information this fast in an orderly presentation. I will recommend this site to those who keep asking the same questions over and over.

[@DKdudon]

Video gives you all the information you will spend lots of time googling your way to when getting into RC. Very nice

[@technobabble_]

Dear Make: This is the kinda stuff you should be doing on your channel all the time.

[@elmigue92]

Amazing vid... can't wait to see the next one!!

[@lucacorso826]

I see it in 2020 and this video is amazing for the quality and for the content

[@AJRobinson]

Thanks for making this playlist!

[@keith5031]

Really good stuff, even for the well seasoned hobbiest. Keep it up.

[@copperhead228]

wow I learned so much information in a 7:00 min. video. :) Thanks MAKE!

[@Khether0001]

this is one of my most favorite series on youtube!

[@chadkapper492]

I am so impressed! Awesome educational elements!!!

[@MatthewNovoselskiy]

you explained it better than flite test.

[@rondoschiavoni8840]

I have the same plane Corsair E-Flite crashed the same reason battery bad solder connection, and I have a 12X8 APC electric propeller , it pulls like crazy on the floor in the house so in the air It maybe OK what size to use 2 blade, and I have a lot of 2 blades in wood 12X6 I'm but afraid of flaps never had them in 15 years of flying so should I even try them ?

[@genboxofficial7417]

I have a plane with a 3 foot wingspan, is a 10 inch prop good

[@RevDonMiguel]

i like the information. Where would i look for info for larger hobby applications such as 3 - 4 foot props down to 12- 24 inch and applicable motors?

[@anthrmthrfckr]

if I have a 35-30 1400kv motor, what kind of propeller can I use? intended for quadcopters...

[@Darksagan]

EXCELLENT VIDEO!

[@TheDragonsGaming739]

I know right I love that new like sound too!

[@ziffa27]

Hey Lucas, the motor you chosen the sealer is advising to use one of this (see below) but you chose a 6x5. I cannot understand that it goes all against you said? Prop Tests: 5x5 - 11.1v - 123W - 11.1A 5x5 - 14.8v - 303W - 20.5A 6x4 - 11.1v - 182W - 16.4A 6x4 - 14.8v - 438W - 29.6A

Hello, can I use a gas engine propeller on a electric engine? Thank you!

[@FrankLopezx]

you never talked about size of aircraft and motor type or prop size? im building a Wing vtol style meaning one motor in each wing small prop almost just as big as its wing, i was hopin to get tips as im 3D printing one and want to use a dc brushed motor

[@baldur3169]

please use a brushless motor they are mush lighter and to answer your main question: if you look at some motors they will often say the thrust with a prop. if there is more thrust than weight then you can use it as a vtol. if you use more than one motor then you just ad the thrust together. hope this was usefull

[@MarkusBlechschmidt]

What combination should i use for a multicopter?

[@bigjoker4u]

nicely done

[@jeffreythurby2705]

I'm sorry but I thought the numbers stand for stator size not the bell size

[@manikandanr4711]

hi sir nice information's I have a doubt. what will be happen if we use high kV motor with long prop?. I have an application of lift about 5 kg in quardcopter so for that what kind of motor and propeller is the rite one please help me if you know

[@conorhorgan183]

+Manikandan R dont do that

[@manikandanr4711]

+ConorCon Man03 why ????

[@conorhorgan183]

+Manikandan R It wont work, high kV motors are tiny and your prop wont fit on it and is your quadcopter 5kg? That is really heavy you'll need some big motors to lift that. Probably a 370kV motor with a 12-15 inch prop: www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__67031__Quanum_MT_Series_4108_370KV_Brushless_Multirotor_Motor_Built_by_DYS.html

[@baldur3169]

the high kv moter will just get very hot and burn out. propobly also the ESC

[@shashankphansikar7094]

How much weight can a DC motor propel

[@odradek902]

is there any proportion between the actual body of the airplane and the propeller? if so what is it? please tell

[@yusufsetyanegara113]

Good video, wait for US also pls

[@gameraim7328]

Can i use 10 inch propeller with 1000kv motor? Im making a rc jet

[@AaronAlso]

Lucas, you made some rather blanket statements about the motors. I understand cause they are a mysterious thing to most of us. The motor in your hairdryer or drill is (probably) a DC motor, AC passes through a bridge rectifier before hitting the motor. AC motors have a commutator and are NOT reversible. The motors used in the RC hobby are a special type of motor that is an AC like design but we run them on simulated AC from a PWM'd DC source.

[@LucasWeakley]

Yes, but they have very little torque. You might find these with a gear box normally in older electric planes

[@basherkp3119]

super tutorial

[@leemyongchan3117]

Pls I need to know this;i have a 2700kv motor and a 30A esc,a 3cell lipo battery. What prop should I use?

[@Jimgoodwin846]

kieran christopher check your motor specs it tells you there.

[@paulolodicora4471]

I like your plane and i'm build one following your instructions, but I need know what kind of motor do you used and props?

[@yangexue6596]

Paulo Lodicora sorry for late reply, 1800kv with 8x4 inch prop

[@NihaNtkaNsara]

YOU ROCK !! THANKS !!

[@ayushmanjain4008]

Can u use cheap DC 130 motor in a RC plane? Take it as a challenge

[@jeanpaulvda]

Was that first plane you showed a ft flyer from flite test?

[@Deluxe312]

Good information

[@prafulpohane2459]

if a 3000kv bldc motor can run at 3000rpm per volt then at what maximum speed it can run or upto what voltage it can run?

[@elpalao247]

1 volt = 3000 (on a 3000kv motor) if you put 10v it will spin to 30000 but speed at the end depends on propeller size., size can add or reduce torque and speed..

It's a great video n all but there are definitely better resources about this hobby online..

[@mtktm]

what about ducted fans?

[@spritualindia149]

What happen if I use 1000kv motor with 6 inches prop

[@yangexue6596]

Kuldeep Nikam you won't get much thrust. Use 1000kv motors with 10x4.5 inch props and 2200kv motors for 6x4 inch props. The 1000kv motor setup is more efficient and you will get more thrust.

[@yangexue6596]

And that's for 3s. For 2s batteries you need props that are bigger and for 4s you need smaller props. I mean a 2 inch difference.

sorry to say but need to correct you.... brushless motor do works on DC only... at the output we get the 3 differeny pwm signals for each phase of motor.....

[@MechEEric]

Informative and thorough. Try to avoid using the phrase "for obvious reasons" or anything that implies "you should know this already" it's an immediate turn-off for your uninitiated viewers even if you explain some time later.

[@RiverLightPhoto]

I have to disagree with your early comments. While brushless motors are better in many ways, your statement that they are used the most is RC is not true. Can motors are far mor ubiquitous througout all areas of RC and I find brushless to be the exception. Of course, I am including all areas of RC (cars, boats, radio shack cheepos, etc.). However I do agree that for RC aviation aplications brushless are the best!

[@m4vr1ck]

What 3d printer did you use

[@pubgmobilehotplayershotpla9428]

[@microguyprod]

CHAD! didnt know you watched "MAKE"...

[@tomwilkinson4630]

There are so so many technical innacuracies in your videos make. brushless motors are NOT AC. They are BLDC motor (brush less DIRECT CURRENT) motors. The input is DC not a square wave as you show. And the output is a 3 phase PWM modulated square wave.

[@basherkp3119]

Tom Wilkinson I would like to make Rc plane, but I don't know how the plane size depend on motor power / capacity

[@yangexue6596]

Low kv + big prop = more thrust. For a three foot plane, try a 1800kv motor with an 8x4 prop. If there's not enough power you can try a second motor or get a new one.

[@schlehrbear]

This is a great video providing basic generalizations of different configurations. However.... @Tom Wilkinson You are 50% wrong here. Brushless motors are available in several different configurations.... •AC-Alternating Current •DC-Direct Current •ACs-Alt. Current Synchronous Brushless DC motors have similarities to ACs. The difference being ACs motors develop sinusoidal back electromagnetic frequencies. In comparison to rectangular or trapezoidal back electromagnetic frequency for the brushless DC motor variant. The misconception is 3 wires dont necessarily mean 3 PHASES. It is more likely 2 standard phases with 3 POLES. For Example a brushless DC, AC or ACs motor could have 4 or maybe even 6 different wires (wire color N/A), that doesnt mean its 3 phases, 2, 4, or 6 phases (unrealistic) it just means there are 2 phases of power (1, 3, 5, 7 or million wires) and every remaing wire after power (hot & neutral phases) is considered becomes individual poles. No different than a single, double, 3-way or 4-way light switch. There are 5 screws on a 4-way light switch if you count the ground screw. That doesnt mean you hook 3 phases of power to it. In the case of a 4way switch it means it can be controlled from 3 other locations at any given time dependent upon input by the user, or technology utilizing device. Also means it can control multiple devices from multiple locations allowing to activate said multiple devices in any configuration you wish, example: light and fan combo you can control power on or off to either one simultaneously and with the multiple poles several different devices can control the light and fan from any location the conductors (poles) are routed to. In the rc scenario, ac brushless is more commonplace. Due to the fact current from power source (battery) must first conduct electricity to to supplyn an ESC, FC, & RX or whatever setup you have, the power then exits as per command of ESC to what ever location requires power (as per input from user via TX). At the point power leaves esc, switch or whatever configuration you may have it becomes Alternating Current, due to the face power is not in direct path to device. DC motors can be utilized in an AC configuration. AC & ACs can be operated on DC too. Hence the indication on motors plate AC/DC INPUT. just have to be careful with DC power going into either configuration. Over voltage will melt winding coating in DC housing, and burn up stators in brushless AC or DC motors. Reason we use electronics before current to motor to eliminate hazards and damage. Have a great day.

[@lamarched21]

When you talk about the motor, I want to SEE the motor, not see it move off the screen. Maybe when you talk, YOU can be moving off the screen too!

[@venkateshbhalekar4123]

Hello I have made a rc plans see you as my teacher

Since you have an international audience, I would strongly suggest that you provide the appropriate translations of your units to the International System, e.g. length in centimeters in addition to inches.

[@InspGadgt]

Brushed motors have more torque and less speed? Wow that is totally inaccurate. Brushed motors tend to be more RPMs and less torque while brushless are lower RPM and more torque. That's why RC cars that were geared at 5:1 in the brushed motor days are now geared at 1.8:1 with brushless at about equivalent speeds. It is also an Electronic speed controler...not an Electric speed controller.
