Gravity...it'll get you down in the end, or will it.

There seems to be an extended decline in posts relating to helicopters, have most of the would-be RC helicopter pilots out there progressed onto so-call drones, or has the advent of flybarless heads coupled with multi-axis gyros and semi autonomous flight control, reduced the call for trouble-shooting assistance.

Will the next big thing in RC flight be anti-gravity systems. With no TV reception at my present temporary location, I've been viewing videos on youtube.com regarding ancient pre-historic tech.

Which of the following might be the way forward with RC flight:
tesla coil
capacitance
gyroscopic
magnetic
super-conductance

Ok, how about plasma charging of rotor blades by digitally controlled applied voltage, via induction coils, the voltage difference causes the charged ions in the plasma to react with air flow over the rotor blades. With the correct timing this could enhance how rotor blades perform to cyclic control. If timed to enhance airflow over the retreating blade this might help to increase fast forward speeds.

I say the plasma doodad thingy is most promising Burges.s Very Happy

Thanks for the response Kevin.
Happy New Year!

I wonder what the Kv and milliamps would be for it to work with a 450 heli blades, would need to use a flybarless rotor head. Winding the coil sets would be interesting.

Magnetic Field Disrupter, with mercury plasma filled accelerator ring pressurized to 250, atmospheres at 150 degrees Kelvin, and accelerated to 50,000 rpm, the plasma becomes super-conductive plasma resulting in gravity disruption. This is the basis of the TR-3 propulsion and it's a sub-Mach 9 vehicle.

A mercury vapour filled circular tube, spooled up to 200,000 RPM via a 2-pole brushless motor, not sure of the diameter of the circle though Wink

You should apply at NASA Burgess. Very Happy

Hell Yeah, I'm dyslexic and so are a large percentage of NASA employees. NASA saw past the negative aspects and recognized the gifts of this condition. Smile

Unfortunately age-wise I'm over the hill Crying or Very sad

Got my sympathies there Burgess, I have the same problem.

Seems a lot commoner than most people think, thank programmers for the spell checker.
