When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.

That is pretty amazing work!. I am sure you are much more careful than these videos suggest, well done for being so focused and commited!.
For better airflow use a honeycomb configuration. Also, move the motors from the centre column to the outer edges (it looks like there is plenty of room for that, especially with a honeycomb config)
Can't be any wider than your arms can hold the risers apart on launch.
@@matoko123 A honeycomb configuration will compensate for that because it will be more compact. Also, he still had plenty of room to spare.

I like the general idea and I propose an improvement: Try to get the propellers out of your back, and put them around it. It will take more space but the propellers will have free wind flow for more eficiency
Wouldn't that just create a vacuum right behind your back?
I was replying with the same comment when I saw yours. Absolutely, the propellers' being blocked by his body are wasting a lot of energy.
Or just save weight and do away with the said propellers altogether
I was about to say the same thing! Also would reduce the strain on those motors, reducing power consumption and extending battery duration.
Havent we learned from icarus lol
I just noticed this from the cross section of the duct you were showing and it makes perfect sense lol…the ducts you used are airfoil shaped, they are just circular! Literally a perfectly round airplane wing!

Dude, I just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. I used to think about making stuff like this when I was a kid lol
As a 3D modeler/animation artist I spend my time thinking on new designs all the time. Looking at a flying drone motor with 50 makes me wonder of another way to produce the same force needed with just 8 motors. I found this video interesting. The idea sounds interesting.
Four things you could improve. Although the last is more of a guess than an estimate. 1. Remove the middle vertical row of motors and props, they won't be as effective as your body blocks much of the airflow. 2. Use 25% larger props and engines (but with just the 2 vertical rows on each side) 3. Make ducts with a hexagon exterior and then you can have a more ridged frame and possibly a better more compact motor layout. 4. Add a slight (+ or - 10%) steering channel and have the right or left motors spin up or down slightly to give you better directional control?
armchair expert
Much of what I was thinking. Especially #1 which immediately came to mind. But he has a great imagination!
Agree perfectly
i was thinking about the hexagonal, triagonal arrangement too. too many good reasons, structural and dynamical and more...
@@EazyDuz18Well you being an armchair idiot, it balances out
Tucker and Peter together in one video, doesn't get much better than that.
I hope he got more than one video out of all this amazing work
I would highly suggest adding some sort of protection for the user. Like a lightweight wall between the motors and the user. I fear someone can be basically stabbed with shrapnel from any motor blades if there is some sort of catastrophe. You have to think like this. If one motor destroys their blades, those blades can cause a chain reaction of damage in other motors. That’s a lot of shards to throw at the back of a user.
As a fan of Peter, Tucker, and Judson this makes me so incredibly happy!!! 😎🤙
The ducts make it safe, not just efficient. Still want that efficiency, of course. Might consider moving the motors out to the sides and leaving a strip with no motors behind the pilot. There is not much airflow through there.
Damn that looks like a lot of fun I'm 60 years old and I love stuff like this I think I may have to build one easier said than done but that really looks cool 👍
I love it -- very inspiring!
I unironically appreciate the fact that you guys put science / curiosity before safety
All kidding aside, if it get into the air it's super safe as it's a chute. The most dangerous part are risk of fire because lithium bats and not noticing you can't get full lift and catch a foot in something during launch.
The interesting thing is you could do two larger ducts say 18" across and put one under each arm to improve airflow around you body. The pack would not put all the weight behind you then.
I thought the same thing. As I go through the landings, I wonder if that doesn't make a danger to you or the craft if you fall. To reduce damage possibility to the blade frame you could gap, covered or uncovered, the ducts on sides as they reach the fans, to allow some pinch movement, with some risk of other things or personal parts getting pinched. I was also thinking put the fans in a vertical halo form, and just gapping behind him, but then I think you're risking running into size difficulties and controlling the chute when transitioning.
Does this whole comment section just not know about paramotors lol
@@david7384 I had seen them but they're a different design. The entire fan is used in that design, even when there is muting of the airflow behind the body, because the blades are flanking and above as well in their cycle. Those engines directly behind are only always pulling around the body, and that seems to us to reduce their efficiency, I believe for the drag across the torso.
@@up4open763 haha yeah that's my point.. This is just recreating a worse paramotors
It would also reduce underarm perspiration…
This so reminds me of the Wright Brothers first flight! Thanks!!!
My immediate thought after seeing the setup for the first time was that the batteries will drain quickly but also that the sail is massive and I wonder if there's any flexible enough lightweight solar cells or membranes you could fit onto it to essentially turn the wing into one massive solar panel to continually charge the batteries?
Keep perfecting it! We'll come back for your Part 2! Great show!

Not really. They used an existing paraglider & harness with the thousands of hours of engineering that went into its design.

Parabéns!!! Vocês são uns garotos malucos e geniais!!! Abraço de Viseu Portugal
Nice job building that frame man
Peter, I can't wait to see version 2 of your electric paramotor. I've thought a lot about building an electric paramotor and I really think two counter rotating props is the way to go. That way you wouldn't need to worry about designing in torque steer correction into the frame. You should consider watching the "Insights Into Paramotor Geometry" series that Miro (creator of Scout Paramotors) released on the Scout Aviation KZhead channel.
You might want to see if 3D printing a hexagon duct will let you stack/configure them more effeciently and add ridgidty to your duct system. Like a bee hive.
He literally just said he's losing thrust because the blades aren't close enough to the sides of the duct, so... A hex is going to be worse.
@@2S1L3NT hex pattern on the outside and circle on the inside. this way the sections don't slide around. a more sturdy rod for the fans to sit on would help a lot too. likely a pressure/snap into place fit where each section has it's own rod it sits on. these could be 3d printed too. create a attachment clamp, 3d print that, this will hold the fan to the rod. drill or leave hole for the wires from the fan to go through. this way each section is self contained. can make nearly any shape with a 3d printer so might as well take advantage of that fact and allow the sections to connect to each other and add strength to the entire thing.
@@rocksfire4390 it will add a lot more weight
@@bushgreen260 i don't know about a lot more, his current frame setup is quite heavy and pretty much all of that wouldn't be needed with the hex pattern design. as you can just screw/bolt/glue them together. the frame is the fan housing. instead of how it currently is, there is a metal frame that holds all of the rather lose fan housings. it needs to be sturdy, extra weight can be balanced out by having a more effective design that doesn't have lose fans with better air flow then the current setup has.
@@rocksfire4390 yes but you ate saying a hex pattern on the outside and a circle on the inside. You wnat to do both at the same time so obviously it will add more weight.
that part with the dog watching reminds me of the grinch when hes building his abomination of a rocket sled lol
That scene transition with the parachute at 3:30 was sick
Great video - the mattress is interesting :) I fly with electric motors and I can advise. The engines directly behind your seat are not efficient because you are unknowingly creating a closed system (it's about the same as blowing your mouth into the sailboat you're sailing on) and some sort of "confusor" on every engine doesn't really help. The classic paramotor with one large propeller does not have this problem, because its blades extend beyond the profile of the seat and there is no thrust in the center of the propeller. You have only two options - move your propeller "mattress" far back, or reduce the number of engines to 2 with higher power, which will be spaced apart to a larger spacing of your back (the diameter of one propeller should be 28 "). Both propellers should rotate against each other - it eliminates the gyro effect.No "confusors" or two propellers on one axis of the engine, because it has no noticeable effect. :)
I wonder if he took half of them off and removed the ones behind his body and spaced them out more if it would fly better and last longer due to less weight and better efficiency and everything you mentioned.
@@JaredConnell Pokud by to udělal, získal by větší tah při stejné síle. To je vyzkoušené. Malé vrtule nejsou špatné, ale to by autor musel vyrobit něco podobného, co najdete na open ppg.
You don't want it too far back, it will try to twist the pilot, trying to get ahead of him. That could get very dangerous.
@@ChessMasterNate In practice, this is done by placing the propeller with an electric motor on a rod 0.75 m long behind the pilot's back. This propeller has folding blades like an umbrella, which expands by centrifugal force when the electric motor is switched on. In the motorless flight mode, the propeller folds down again like an umbrella thanks to the spring. In the case of a "mattress", it would be necessary to relieve it of the unnecessary things I mentioned somewhere and, of course, to move it away from the pilot's back (if he insisted on his concept). The partial rotation of the pilot to the right and left, as I noticed in the video, is due to the higher center of gravity, so something in this direction would have to change to prevent this. The pilot of a classic paramotor must be able to cope with the gyro effect of his propeller, so it is again up to the pilot and his experience.
This is kinda what I do for a living I’m an electro Tech , I build circuit boards to huge power banks and controllers etc etc . I don’t think folks appreciate the time Peter puts into this . The wiring in itself is a undertaking, very nice my friend very nice!!!!!

Looks like a project, but I would suggest erasing the fans in the middle of your body as they are shielded by it and can provide less drag as the other more exposed ones as the air flux is denser and can therefor provide more pulse.
Such a terrifying sound lol
6:18 Lol, that "OK" :D
I don't really know anything so i have to ask: would it make a difference to put the motor units in a hexagonal pattern rather than square? I imagine you'd get more motors in a smaller surface area, and a hexagon would probably be more comfortable than a big rectangle
Yeah the bottom corners of the square could chop up your fingers pretty easily. I wonder if stacking 2 motors front to back would help also? Idk I'm not a expert on such things but I want this idea to take off lighter para motors would mean more people can fly.
I love these types of videos. They are just cool. :)
Wow ! Looks like it weighs considerably less than a gas powered fan motor. And no horrible racket from a 2 stroke engine. ❤
Glad you had fun.
