About Me:

I am a 63 yr old BSME,BSAE that has been working on new technology for many years. I have my own machine shop , sheet metal shop and weld shop, so I can pretty much build whatever I need.I like UAV's and all terrain robotic platforms, as well as extreme 4X4's.

Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I have developed a counter rotating motor for drones that uses a slip ring to suspend the motor and allows me to put a prop on both the armature and stator. This gets about 15% more thrust per watt than the standard motor, but the big effect is that since I am spinning the coils, the cooling effect allows the motor to run much cooler and allows the user to get almost twice the rated power from the motor.You do have to go to a higher voltage for best effect and eliminate the magnetic saturation issues.
