Title: hawk-eye Post by: karan3_k on February 20, 2012, 08:39:32 PM did any one visited, iit-m sp4mm3r this jan???
there was a workshop on hawk eye, a rotor-craft... wonder how it was made??? what is the mechanism inside/... ??? i am not able to find any more info on web... any idea abt its mechanism?? http://www.sp4mm3r.org/home/event/hawk_eye http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfRA7ckEKeQ Title: Re: hawk-eye Post by: AEROVISHWA on February 20, 2012, 09:27:03 PM not a big rocket science.....!! :giggle:
just uses thrust vectoring for controls and the flaps at the bottom are controlled by a gyro for cancelling the torque and gyroscope effect produced by the motor...!! :hatsoff: Title: Re: hawk-eye Post by: Swapnil on February 20, 2012, 11:58:46 PM Wow, it's just like the japanese spherical drone! Only it has got thrust vectoring + control surfaces instead of just control surfaces.
Don't know how I missed it! :banghead: Great job guys! :hatsoff: They should have chosen a better location for the video though! Here's a pic from a japanese document about their drone. Title: Re: Re: hawk-eye Post by: srivatsa on February 21, 2012, 01:21:11 AM Amazing!!!

Wish I had the resources! A coanda-effect saucer has a complex structure but with this one you only need to counteract the torque and gyro effect. Can heli pros explain what other factors need to be considered? Imagine what it could do with a variable pitch prop! Title: Re: hawk-eye Post by: AEROVISHWA on February 21, 2012, 08:55:54 PM nun of those complex things required.....!!! just use a gyro on the surfaces at the tail and and thrust vectoring... working on the thrust vectoring part...
will start with this soon.....!!!! Title: Re: hawk-eye Post by: Swapnil on February 21, 2012, 09:36:25 PM People on diydrones say it's not easy. I have a jap document that has development pics of the japanese spherical drone and they seem to have given considerable thought to the smallest of details. (Like it can straighten itself up after rolling to a halt unlike the IIT hawk-eye)
I was thinking about using a kk board after seeing below video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ChvTm8peuo&feature=endscreen&NR=1 |
