2:40 Safety squint
-
The perpetual motion ring is fueled by crushed hopes and dreams held in a suspension of tears and anguish. Good Rage/Kg ratio
-
Local engineer spends month reinventing a common children's toy.

-
Engage safety squints! haha please follow up to figure out WHY that ring flew so far and so stable all on its own, amazing.
-
4:15 That sounded like an actual plane crash
-
6:19 can you imagine walking down the park and see a flying circle like that.
-
Running a fly wheel latterly along the fuselage would really make the plane extremely stable acting like a gyroscope. If this was utilized on an ultralight the landings might be so stable that you could technically just land with only one wheel . You may well accomplish a most perfect safe landing. It’s good to see someone toying with these kind of ideas.
-
6:21 - the ring flew surprisingly far, I'd like to see a video exploring/optimising it.
-
This is great, but I'm going to build a plane powered only by Tom Stanton's accent
-
I love how when the plane crashed it sounded like an actual plane crashing
-
This guy motivates me that if he can make so much fail attempts to achieve one successful attempt then why should i stop
-
"Flying Hula Hoop" must be your next project!
-
idk why, but the flying hoola hoop gets me everytime! 6:20
-
I remember reading about a German (I think) early unmanned helicopter project where they basically built one of those propellers with a flywheel in big. The idea was that you could launch it near the frontlines. The helicopter would go up, shoot some pictures, and slowly come down as the rpm decrease. I looked for it a while now but can't find it again. If someone knows what I mean, please let me know.
-
When the title said, “flywheel powered plane” Then i saw the first part, I immediately went, “So you’re gonna fly a plane using a bike?”
-
4:15 okay that cut back to wide when it crashed had me hollering.
-
This definitely needs a part two, considering how well the simplified design worked. Also, see how high you can make the flying hoola-hoop go ( straight up, like the toy ) with a high rpm motor and more robust hoop....
-
My friend, you will make a lot of kids happy with that.
-
Have you tried mounting the flywheel on other axis ? Like maybe parallel to the ground or facing sideways like the toy ?Also the rotation direction might be important. The fact the toy's ring continues flying by itself when the propeller exploded is also interesting. Did you know some planes attempt using rotating cylindrical wings using the magnus effect to create lift.
