Electrotor-SloMo ~ Rotor (All)

 

Overview:

  • There are two rotors, with two blades each, on teetering hubs.
  • One axial flux electric motor (disk motor) located in each rotor.

 Drawings:

 

Re gyroscopic precession ~ only the rotors are revolving, not the stators.

This arraignment will not be viable for the Intermeshing configuration due to its high and large diameter.

If the actual blade starts out further (ie. the spar goes out beyond the other hub) then from the above picture it looks like; 1/ the motor can be moved up higher on the rotorhub, 2/ the hubs can be moved closer together, 3/ the V angle can be reduced.

This is the current choice:

Not that the motor's rotors are 'geared' together for synchronization.

The drawing below allows for a static mast and the control rods to go down inside this mast.

A possibly better alternative is to attach the blade grips to the motor's rotor, as per drawing #2 above, and reduce the diameter of the motor by having multiple axial flux rotors and stators or a deep radial flux motor with a smaller diameter. This will probably require electric pitch control devices located at the root of the blades.
