One motor. One propeller. A serious control problem. Would you try building it? This open-source project by Joshua Bird takes a different approach to fly a drone powered by just one motor and one propeller. The secret is a hinged propeller mechanism and precisely timed motor torque pulses that...

@Joshua_Bird I may try it. Playing with sims.

@Joshua_Bird Yes, simulation is good.

@Joshua_Bird Can’t wait to see part two when they add the linear camera bar so the lighthouse isn’t necessary.

@Joshua_Bird That would be really good addition.

@Joshua_Bird I'd try building it just to see if I can make it fly

A Drone With Only One Motor! And a 3D-printed propeller. And somehow, it still manages to fly. The really interesting part is how you control it. By accelerating and decelerating the motor more than 300 times per second, you can control the drone's thrust, pitch, and roll. The propeller spins at almost 20,000 RPM, with its tips approaching half the speed of sound. Getting this to work required custom firmware, a homemade high-speed imaging setup to study the blades, and hundreds of crashes. I've been sharing Joshua Bird's videos for quite a while now. I just love the things he comes up with and how much effort he puts into making them work. We're also going to talk about a few other projects he's currently working on. More on that soon! And if you want to take a closer look at how he built this thing, he's made the code and CAD files open source. Full YouTube video: —— Weekly robotics and AI insights. Subscribe free:

A flapping-wing drone that actually handles its own vibrations. BionicBird’s X-Fly is not a propeller drone. It is an ornithopter with a six-axis gyro and precision G-sensors designed specifically to deal with the chaotic dynamics of wing flapping. • Sensor fusion tuned for flapping flight, not propeller stability • Ultra-light motors and custom kinematics • Biomimetic wings that alternate between flapping and gliding • No exposed propellers, lightweight and safe by design Instead of forcing nature into quadcopter physics, they designed the control system around how birds actually fly.

Here's how I fly my Paramotor to work as an Air Traffic Controller✈️. A paramotor is basically a paraglider with a propeller backpack. You strap a motor and propeller to your back, launch on foot, and fly. I'm flying my Parajet Maverick paired with an Ozone Sirocco 3 18m wing. The Maverick is an absolute beast of a setup, and the Sirocco 3 gives me that perfect mix of speed, performance, and handling. Powered flight. No runway required. Just you and the sky. @Jacob Hutzler @Foxy Paramotor Girl @Vittorazi Motors #paramotor #parajet #ozoneparagliders #atc #flying

A Russian drone configured as a radio retranslator for FPVs, with three relay transmitters and the capacity to switch frequencies. Retranslating means that the frequencies are changed from controller to FPV. The motor/propeller combination was selected for efficient hovering. 1/

The world's first human drone! @supercarblondie got the chance to try it and see just how easy it is to fly. Created by @liftaircraft, the Hexa weighs less than a standard motorcycle and doesn't require a license. It's just like flying your standard drone, except with this one, you are onboard. It runs on 18 batteries, one for every propeller and even if half of them shuts down, you are fine. It also floats on water. Got half a million dollars you're unsure of where to spend? Well this might be the Christmas gift you've been looking for. DEDICATED TO EVS WORLDWIDE _______________ WWW.ELECTRICMOTORFEED.COM #drone #electricvehicle #emobility

Northwestern engineers built a drone that spins its own body 25 times a second to disappear mid-flight. It's called Phantom Twist. No paint. No clear plastic shell. No camouflage. Most of the frame rotates. 25 turns per second. 1,500 per minute. A full turn every 40 milliseconds. The propeller spins the other way. That's the trick. The counter-rotation cancels the spin, and the aircraft holds steady while its body turns into a smear. The eye tracks a bird. It tracks a normal quadcopter. It can't lock onto a shape that redraws itself 25 times a second. You see motion. You see blur. You never see the outline. Every camouflage in history tried to match the background. This one just refuses to hold still.

400 km/h — that’s the speed reached by an interceptor drone powered by a motor from Motor-G, a member of BRAVE1. Today, more and more drones are flying on motors made in Ukraine. We are building the components market and strengthening Ukraine’s technological independence.

This is Delta, a deformable multirotor robot developed by scientists at the University of Tokyo that can both fly and roll using its flexible body design. It uses a thrust control system to move efficiently in the air and on the ground, allowing it to adapt to different environments. This capability makes it useful for tasks like disaster response and long-duration operations, introduced in 2024.

What you see is literally a dog fight between two drones. One is a Ukrainian reconnaissance drone and the other is a Russian FPV counter reconnaissance drone. After spotting the Ukrainian drone, the Russian FPV operator rams itself where the propeller is and downs the Ukrainian reco drone. Not just it, the Russian drone could be seen safe and it was asked to RTH.

The slow and control crowd are ignoring simple concepts and principles of motor unit recruitment. Control is important, yes. But you don’t have to move slow to have control, ask a bull rider. Fast and controlled is what you want in the weight room The effort is what is going to recruit those high threshold motor units and the bigger faster stronger type II muscle fibers Slow is low recruitment and high fatigue. Seems like everyone ignores logic on this topic. If you think you’ve hit your “genetic potential” you probably just need a fresh perspective on training. Start with this idea, that speed and the effort to move loads fast will always yield more motor recruitment and ultimately more strength and hypertrophy

What If Your Weekend Project Could Balance on Two Wheels? The ES02 is an open-source bipedal wheeled robot built around an ESP32 by Navbot. It combines two-wheel balancing with leg movement, making it a fun platform for experimenting with robot control, simulation, motion planning and embedded programming. If you are getting into robotics, this is the kind of project that can teach you a lot by actually building and tuning it. Would you build one for your next weekend project?

A robot that drives straight up a wall! 🧱 VertiGo is a robot built by Disney Research with ETH Zürich. Most wall-climbing robots hold on. Suction cups, magnets, dry adhesives. All of them need a surface that cooperates, and none of them solve the genuinely hard part, which is getting from the floor onto the wall in the first place. Two tiltable propellers generate thrust into the wall, pressing four wheels against it hard enough to drive. Each propeller has two degrees of freedom for aiming that thrust, and one pair of wheels steers. The rear propeller pushes the robot toward the wall while the front propeller pushes upward, and the combination flips it onto the vertical surface. One propeller can hold you on a wall. It takes two to get you there. This is from the end of 2015, which is worth saying out loud. A decade later it's still an awesome project in robotics! :) ~~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

This video from an IndiGo ATR on the apron at night worries me. The propeller is turning, the engine cowl is wide open, and two engineers are standing on the stairs just feet from the blades. One slip, one gust, one wrong step, and it’s a fatality. Whatever the task was, this doesn’t look safe!

Direct-Drive Aircraft Propulsion In most piston-powered aircraft, the propeller is bolted directly to the engine's crankshaft. Engine power is transmitted without gears, belts, or chains, allowing the throttle to control both engine and propeller RPM simultaneously. This direct-drive configuration simplifies the powertrain while reducing weight and maintenance. 🎥 prath1001
