Project summary
The principle of motion of a flying saucer is reactive-wave, universal for any environment and is based on the principles of movement of flying and floating living beings, as well as new discoveries in the field of aerohydrodynamics, acoustics, fundamental physics. The principle is to simplify complex flapping movements to asymmetric vibration on one plane. This principle allows efficient use of free thermal energy from the environment. The device uses this principle in conjunction with air and solar sail.
There is no patent.
Development stage
There is a simplified prototype, experimental work was carried out, as a result of which it was found that such an apparatus is possible contrary to the generally accepted scientific theory, and the principle of its operation was partially studied. A new type of vibration motor has been created, which allows vibrations to be generated in a wide frequency range. The engine produces sound waves that are much more powerful than conventional speakers of similar power.
At this stage, the prototype, thanks to the engine operation, can slow down the fall,
increase the lift in the oncoming stream and, thanks to the aerodynamic shape, hover for a limited time, soar in the wind.
Perspectives
In the near future, such a device will be able to reach the limits of the earth's atmosphere using electricity, wind and light gas. In the future, this concept will make it possible to create a full-fledged reusable electric spacecraft. Theoretically, a vacuum jet engine or a warp engine could be created based on this principle.
The concept can be applied in many areas, from relatively inexpensive toys to astronautics. Such a device can be used as a drone for aerial photography and observation from high altitudes, for launching small satellites into orbit, for space tourism and research activities.
Features:
Being a versatile hybrid vehicle, the device does not have the efficiency limiting disadvantages associated with the simultaneous use of several principles of movement. It uses its various qualities in the same way that living things do, which allows for maximum energy efficiency.
Benefits.
Compared to classic aerodynamic aircraft, the flying saucer uses thermal energy from the environment. For example, when an aircraft moves behind it, a turbulence zone is formed that can affect other aircraft and is, in fact, the energy of air molecules. The flying saucer uses this energy, which allows you to achieve greater performance with less energy.
In comparison with devices with flapping wings, the simplification of complex oscillatory movements to asymmetric vibration of one plane significantly simplifies the design, increases the resource and allows realizing high power, which is the main problem of flies. The purposeful use of the thermal energy of the environment makes possible the whole spectrum of bird and insect maneuvers, which is not available to the existing flies.
Compared to classic balloons and airships, the flying saucer has greater speed and maneuverability. Wind and air resistance, which are a problem for all balloons, provide the flying saucer with additional power.
Compared to space rockets, the operation of a flying saucer is much cheaper, since it does not require special launch sites, does not use fossil fuels as a consumable working fluid of a jet engine. Air is used in its place, and the only energy consumed is electricity.
Unlike existing orbital spacecraft, a flying saucer will be able, with the help of an electric motor, to correct its orbit for an unlimited time and increase its speed due to a small atmospheric resistance at high altitude, which for conventional vehicles causes a loss of speed and a fall after they consume fuel necessary to keep the orbit. In addition, the aerodynamic plane, due to its large area and reflectivity, plays the role of a solar sail, which makes it possible to use the solar wind for movement.
Compared to conventional reusable spacecraft, the flying saucer has greater maneuverability at hypersonic speeds when entering the atmosphere and can make a controlled landing without the use of jet fuel and significant restrictions in the choice of time and place of landing.
Unlike a non-powered glider, a non-powered flying saucer can land vertically like a parachute.
The approximate cost of a prototype of a small controlled unmanned vehicle is $ 35,000
It will be possible to determine the unit cost on the stream, sales value and production volumes only after creating a prototype and testing it. Also, based on their results, it will be possible to make a decision, which is more rational and possible - mass production of its inexpensive options or the production of expensive options in a small series.
Sales markets
Most likely, the device at this stage will be more suitable for entertainment purposes and will have limited capabilities, but will find a circle of buyers due to its uniqueness and novelty. In the future, the sales market will be significantly expanded. It is possible to create your own space agency and independently operate the device for space tourism and other scientific and commercial purposes on request.
Estimated amounts for implementation
Since the outcome of scientific research cannot be predicted with certainty, it is assumed that the project will be financed in stages with an initial attraction of relatively small funds for conducting experiments and determining the feasibility of further funding.
Due to the impossibility to determine exactly which of the technically possible paths as a result of the research the project will go, only approximate minimum amounts are given to obtain the minimum result.
1000 $ - the first stage of research. At this stage, primitive technologists will be used. About 70% of the amount will be wages.
5000 $ - the second stage of research. At this stage, more modern technologies will be used, spare parts from drones, aircraft models, etc. including used , specialists are involved. About 50% will be wages.
$ 29,000 - third stage of research and prototyping. At this stage, you will need to create a small workshop, similar to a workshop for creating robots and drones, with a CNC machine and a 3D printer. About 50% will be wages.
Profit
At this stage, it is difficult to judge the profit. It is assumed that on the basis of the workshop it will be possible to organize the production of the device in a small series in order to recoup the costs for it and ensure the further development of the project. This will further define the future of the aerospace industry and generate significant profits.
Risks
Since the project belongs to an underexplored area of science, additional resources may be needed.
