Single Motor Quadcopter

Posted by Otschi on March 26, 2023 at 2:40pm

I think it should be possible to have one powerful motor in the center of the drone and distribute its power over the four rotors, the speed of every individual rotor could be varied via a tiny CVT

I think I could build the mechanical part all on my own, has anyone suggestions what electronics I would need

 

It would be necessary to be able to control the rotor speed via servos which would change the ratio of the CVTs instead of altering the speed direct, also it would need to control the speed of the central motor

hope to post this in the right place

    Otschi,
    Is there any progress on this project?
    I thought of this design in 2018, and considered it to be a good senior project for my son.
    The most challenging part in terms of mechanics is "a tiny CVT."
    There should be no issues with the software.

    A adacious idea! But still have a long way to go.

    Instead of changing the speed directly, it would be essential to be able to regulate the rotor speed using servos to modify the ratio of the CVTs. It would also be necessary to be able to control the speed of the main motor. https://basketball-stars.co/
