A4 paper has those weird dimensions (not a round number in either metric or imperial) because of its aspect ratio of √2, which allows cutting it in half and still retaining the same ratio. A0 paper is defined to an area of 1 m², and each subsequent paper number (A1, A2, ...) is the previous paper halved. Therefore A4 paper has an area of 1/16 m², and a √2 ratio, which in no way produces round numbers for the two dimensions!

[@dowdayjing8442]

trabladorr, don't let a few decimals scare you off! There's an underlying elegance to that standard. Check out Numberphile's - the silver ratio video if you're interested :)

[@wallytod9198]

[@TLD.CREATES]

It also has that weird dimensions because it's a metric ISO standard, meaning it's a sensible number in millimeters, and you get odd numbers in inches

[@wallytod9198]

Neerrd alert ☣️☣️☣️☣️☣️

[@trabladorr]

It does not have rounded dimensions in any measurement system, because of the irrational √2 factor. A4 paper is defined to an area of 1/16th of 1,000,000 mm², or 62,500 mm². This gives it the dimensions of 297.301778751 mm * 210.224103814 mm, which are rounded for ease of use to 297 mm * 210 mm.

[@Hotbusterer]

@@Waved123 @Kintayisme It's seems a bit arbitrary and to some extend it kinda is. The DIN paper size is based around the idea, that every format has the same ratio compared to the next smaller/ bigger one, which is (1 : 2), with the aspect ratio of width to length always being (1 : √2). The biggest format A0 has a surface area of 1m² and the smaller formats derive off of that. So while the exact lengths are a bit impractical, the constant aspect ratio has proven to be incredibly useful for scanning and printing. As documents of different DIN sizes can be processed without having to distort or crop them.

[@kalocsaizoltan6425]

It's aspect ratio actually isn't the golden ration. It's the square root of two. It's done like this because this way if you fold it in half by the longer edge, than the aspect ratio remains constant.

A4 is metric, and has a really neat way of scaling, due to its aspect ratio. Letter is the embarrassingly non-standard American 8.5" x 11" version.

I also dont get why he's surprise at the weird numbers, like you're measuring a metric object in imches of course it'll be weird

[@newtoncraftmc]

xeladoozo A4 paper doesn’t quite go neatly into decimal measurements either (although it nearly does). A1 size paper is defined as having an area of exactly 1m^3 and a ratio of 1:root2. This ratio means that when the paper is cut in half the new sheets will have the exact same aspect ratio as the original sheet.

[@kyo4o3d]

@@newtoncraftmcTry looking up information on “ the golden Square”. All these paper sizes a1-a5 etc are based on it. The odd numbers are due to the fact that a true square does not actually appear square to the eye. To base the paper sizes on the true square would not therefore look good either. The Golden Square has one plane longer than the other side but gives the eye the apparent “true” square. All paper sizes are then based on The next size down from the largest A0 is half that of. AO and all subsequent sizes are half. Of their predecessor. All this predates the USA. This is as I remember it!

This was really inspiring, thanks for the idea! I got this working today! I used the propel x01 that they have at wal mart, the one with the three blade props. I had to fiddle with it a lot, but for the air frame i tried the classic dart and a glider with mediocre success before settling on one called the nakamura lock. It is excellent and very stable. I cut out a piece of the plastic packaging that the drone came in to mount the electronics on instead of foam lol. So yea this can be done pretty easily still, even if you can't find that exact model of micro drone anymore.

When soldering wire extensions, it is good practice to stagger the lengths. This way it is first, a bit more compact, and second will not short out even if insulation over the joints isn't used and a single piece of shrink tube can cover both connections to make a neat job.

Crazy to think that one of those micro copters is cheaper than just buying the parts separately ($15 vs like $250 for a tiny flight controller, a couple of motors, and a controller) even though they do literally the same thing Also, you could get full 3 axis control by using all 4 motors (set them in an X arrangement) then when you pull up, the top motors will turn off or slow down, and vice versa when you push down, similarly with roll due to the way the drone would control the yaw axis (though it would require you to build it in 2 parts and poke a hole though the paper for the wires to go through)

[@KosFishingTeam]

The end screen is so creative man !! Respect!!

[@DeliciousDeBlair]

Just curious... As far as energy efficiency, will the paper airplanes fly longer than just the drone as it comes from the factory? I ask because of the idea that one is working off of typically observed 'planar lift' principles and the other is working like a helicopter or VTOL, and those, typically, consume more energy for time spent in flight.

A4 is not the same as 8.5x11. They are different standards

[@BrightBlueJim]

Easily confused because U.S. standard "letter size" paper is referred to as "A size".

[@Lynxyss]

I guess the 'A size' stands for ANSI A size, which is just size from american paper size series different from ISO 216 'A series'. We need more standards, right?

[@bkveteran9728]

Just to add to the confusion. ISO 216 A series's dimensions verifies a simple property: if you cut the paper in half, say an A3, it becomes an A4, maintaining its aspect ratio. If you solve the equation L/W = W/(L/2) (math statement that ratios stay the same) you see that L and W are related by sqrt(2). Hence the weird measurements.

A4 is similar to standard 8.5 x 11. A3 is similar to 11 x 17. Dang Europeans keep emailing me documents in A4 size and confusing my printer. It's called 20lb bond because 500 sheets of 11x22 paper weighs 20lbs. That was a standard size at one time I guess, for whatever reason. The thicker the paper the heavier the bond rating/weight. A 500 sheet ream of 8.5x11 will weigh 5lbs if it's 20lb paper.

"A" series paper sizes are used in Australia too, not just Europe. Also in Australia we measure paper weight by GSM (grams per square metre). Standard is 75gsm I think.

[@spud4242]

its 80 gsm. A4 is 210 mm x 297 mm ( been a copier tech for too many years to remember..lol )

A4 is ISO standard, it is used all over the world, except USA(metric vs imperial system)

[@rogeriocosta1035]

Only Americans to measure paper sheets size in weight... I'm happy that the Chineses will rule the world in few years.

[@BrightBlueJim]

Read the other replies. Europeans measure their paper in weight as well, although it's using more proper units of measure.

Standard Letter paper is 8.5" x 11" A4 paper is 8.3" x 11.7" Legal paper is 11" x 17"

Mine had screws holding it together, but basically the same thing. Made by "Skyrocket Toys" model 01529. This is one cool build. Can't help but giggle that it is practically a disposable airplane while the power section can be simply attached to a new one. Love it.

It made me laugh when Peter just yoinked the camera off the table. I know this is a very old comment, but I just wanted to say your videos make me happy.

Very clever, very entertaining, I like the trick for using a flame to strip wire.
