You're not heading down the slippery over-unity slope, I hope, AG?
LOL.
I was just about to start the thread and the one of the rules was going to be.....................
The only thing we cant do is over unity, everything else is just a problem lol. If I accidentally slip the wrong side of the laws of thermo etal then please point it out, I intend to creep the edge and push the boundaries but I am not going down the flux capacitor route I promise!
I have made it pretty simple.
What I am going to do is use patents and papers to base things on and where there isnt any i will do the experiment to get the answer. So while its fine to say I doubt that's gonna work, equally its fine to do the science and try it to make sure.
The ironic thing and something you may not know.................. I started getting good (sounds arrogant sorry) I started to improve (sounds better) when I read this in your signature
"Every problem has a solution (given the right information and resources)."
Seriously since reading that it has made me look at things in a different way, to me as long as it dosnt break a golden then its just a problem that hasnt been solved yet, and to solve a problem all you got to do is work hard at it.
So thanks, unknowingly your sig line a couple of years ago has been what has driven me to try things out despite reason saying it wont work, I look at it and if it dosnt break a golden rule then its just a problem and therefore doable somehow.
The part about a quad powered by a small RC engine has been done (sort of) I have the papers and the material to back this, we have also reached a point in electric motor technology that might tip things in out favor. the problem isnt can it be done, because it has been done, the problem is how small can we go before it cant be done. thats the question i want to answer
Look at the main guys on this site like yourself and cowboy and spec,Jim etal (too many to name). Now imagine a company who all those guys working in it...................
Google,CERN,NASA all rolled into one wouldnt have the brain power of that lot working together. So yes i am confident, I have access to some of the best people around

and I have been collecting tips and info of each of them for five years! Now how many get that kind of education?
Some people think I am smart, but the reality is the only smart thing i have done is use the opportunity to condense centuries of experience and knowledge from other's into my little head
