THE
CYPARDON |
|
The present unit has ten gyros and loses 25%
of its weight. This will greatly improve with better
engineering.
|
EFFICIENCY |
EFFICIENCY =
|
|
90% |
The present unit has losses as follows: windage, friction
and motor losses and the usual iron, copper and commutation
loss.

THE
THRUST |
A
1 horse power motor would raise
a 55lb load 10 feet in one second at 100% efficiency.
..........................................................
|
The power input is directly converted to an Upward Thrust.
Since air is not involved in this transfer of power,
the power is directly a product of the input X efficiency.
The thrust is measured in g force.

THE
VECTOR CROSS PRODUCT |
Vector A times Vector B Sine alpha = Vector
C
Let Vector A be the Gyro Force. Let Vector B
be
the Centrifugal Force. Let the angle
be 90 degrees So Sine is unity. Then
Vector C is VERTICAL as per the diagram!
Eulers Dynamic Equations will also give a similar
result.

The
humble drawing pin spinning on a smooth surface
will quickly assume a vertical stance when it
obeys these laws! |

Vehicle
control will have four gyros. One will be for the
main up-thrust of the unit while the other three will
provide the forces to vector the machine ( the steering
motors ).

THE
COST |
As a quick guide, take a modem jet plane and remove
the following......
Wings
and engines
Large fuel tanks.
Under-carriage
Tail unit
Galley
Then
add 4 x CYPARDON gyro units, one small a.c. power
unit and batteries
