View Full Version : [Idea] miniaturized 12-15V Turbine engine

Okay today I've been drawing schematics for a theoretical Minaturized turbine engine built for lifting up, and not for pushing. this one runs on a 12 volt battery and may maintain a specified altitude more efficiently than your average helicopter. rotor I'm not sure so I have to look that up still and do a bit of math.

this specific engine is estimated to be able to run on atleast 12-15 volts, 5 volts to maintain an altitude and 15 volts to be able to gain altitude.
the turbine uses a motor that is connected to 3 fan blades and a cone on the end, then near the exaust end there is a miniature turbine with a custom prop right above that designed to act like the wings of a plane, capable of allowing the engine to maintain altitude at a lower voltage, its motor is seperate from the motor of the turbine.

when increasing altitude the custom prop turns off, the 3-prop motor and the turbine motor kick on which creates enough lift to propell it upward, the 3-prop motor increases intake and the turbine accelerates the intake of air.

when maintaining altitude the 3-prop and turbine switch off then the custom prop switches on and allows it to keep a specified altitude.

but if this doesn't work, I can just turn it into a really nice battery operated blow-dryer.

if someone can tell me the average voltage used by a helicopter's main rotor please tell me.
Any feedback is apreciated.

You should have an understanding of physics before trying to do this. "Lifting up" is essentially "pushing" off of the ground.
I'm not sure if you're talking about a real helicopter or a model one, but real ones use a hydraulics system to control the fan blades, driven by the engine(usually diesel).
