I think that the shutter speed makes it look like a faked video. If it fake they did an amazing job of keeping the speed of the gears driving the rotors at a much higher speed. Awesome video loved it!
_How can it fly with blades moving that slow?_ Or _How can that wagon go forward with its wheels going backwards?_ Yeah, gotta love that wagon wheel effect!
Dude! You got that wrong, omg! It is called pallopter.... or is it palletopter? Damn :) I guess "flying euro pallet twin rotor system prototype" or something like that is just too long :D
@@Collateralcoffee "flying euro pallet twin rotor system prototype" is probably the correct name for this in german, but all mashed together into one new glorious word.
Its certainly got good lift capability, as that pallet assembly is probably 15 to 20 kilos. Also, it seemed extremely stable (not sure if a gyro was used 🤔). Looking forward to seeing it with a beautiful scale body on it. Great work guys 👏
That was a good design when "Operation Paperclip" benefctor Anton Flettner came up with it for Kaman Aircraft Co. shortly after WW II. It was so easy to fly, the company used to say (and prove) "a housewife could fly it with only an hour's training." The company produced some that were used by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and they were working on an unmanned version because of its heavy lift capability.
@@luke_skywanker7643 to be a bit more precise, he came up with the design a bit earlier, with the Flettner Fl 282 Kolibri (th-cam.com/video/vKEBu4EcxGw/w-d-xo.html ) for the Reichsmarine.
He sure as heck did! I didn't know anything about "The Hummingbird" until I looked up FL 282, which you put in your comment. I'm really surprised that Flettner's concept and experimentaion on the design was actually pre-WW II.
The engineering is impressive, but I’m more impressed with the confidence of his own work, to be standing with his face basically in the blades. It didn’t seem like it, but if ANYTHING was off, it would have went bad fast and furiously
@@02ennuu-zg5tb It's called a Flettner rotor, and was invented in the Thirties by a German. There've been real, flying, people-carrying helicopters built with that design for decades - mostly by the Kaman Co. They're not fast, but they're very controllable, and have been used for medevac in the Vietnam War and for construction. They seem to be reasonably safe for a helicopter. Or do you mean just this one version here, with this specific angle and spacing of the rotors?

I am absolutely shocked by stability in flight. That's rock solid. They say helicopters are always 3 seconds from crashing, due to innate instability of the flight method, but here? Noooope!
At first I thought it was a grade school experiment to prove what happens to a helicopter without a tail rotor. Then when the frame rate synced with the rotor speed, I realized the brilliance of the whole thing.
That's great to see! Where was this filmed? In Bloomfield CT USA you'll often see the K-MAX flying around, as well as the two seater Huskie (aka Yellow School Bus) which I believe is used for training.
Can we all just take a second to appreciate the shutter speed.
I was just thinking that then glanced down and saw your comment.😊
I will only take 0.042 seconds to appreciate it.

i can just see American pallets watching this and thinking how much more advanced their European counterparts are.
I thought that was just a test bench and a run up. Did not expect the palet to take off lol.
Same. I thought I was just going to see the mechanism tested. It was a fun surprise to see the test stand take off.
Real seat of the pants testing. No fancy fuselage or unnecessary fruit clogging up the project. Just the essentials -well done!
Yup, just an essential wooden pallet and few other essential peace of wood :-D Can't do a proper test without a wooden pallet. ;-)
Fruit??😂
I love how the camera frame rate makes the rotors look so smooth and graceful. A cool project, well done!

The total weight during this test was 29kg

It is one of those occasions when the test bench flew away !!
DANG ... I think you got all of us.
and congratulations on an amazing poject
Very impressive and looked amazing during flight
It's mesmerizing when the frame rate synchs with the rotors.
That’s certainly an inexpensive test bed to prove the concept. Well done.
That rotor mechanism is beautiful.
Amazing prototype and great engineering !

Congratulations, you reinvented the helicopter
Не изобрел,а повторил Kaman K-MAX:)
i was anticipating failure but presently surprised when it lifted off - great work
Pallet technology has come far.
What a beautiful piece of machinery. Nice work.

Confident recklessness.
agree
I was really hoping they would pan out and the flyer would be behind a barrier... Not just standing 10 feet away holy sheet.
Or he's put in his due diligence engineering it 🤨

Very impressive!! Going to be a work horse monster!! Cant wait to see the finished market product.
Alternative title: Palletcopter is doing some Tai Chi moves
Like watching 2 dragon flies skimming a pond. Looks so stable with vibrations. Nice.
Fantastic! It doesn't matter how it looks.
Incredible that the blades almost stationary and still can fly.
🤣
Физику в школе учить надо было. 🤣Лопасти крутятся как сумасшедшие. Это стробоскоптческий эффект.
Your levity is great.
Kinda like how wagons move forward even though the wheels turn backwards!
Technology is amazing isn’t it
Вращение винтов получилось завораживающим))
Pretty darned impressive.
Very impressive experimental engineering
Just imagine how much it could lift if the blades did more than 5 rpm.
Great hilarious observation, have you tried standup?
@@peterkasala2088 your mom said I should be a stud
@@DS-xg9kfshe meant in a wall.
Fantastic! Mind bendingly wonderful. Thank you for the sneak peek. Cheers from So.CA.USA
All hail the pallet copter! 😎
Very impressive.
great camera work, I thought it should be up by now, I didnt realise it was lifting the pallet

thats not messing about , well done.

Very well done
We could use that for Dockfighters the Ale Wars if that thing can transport a box of beer ;-)
That was amazing and amusing.
Absolutely awesome 👌 totally loved this video 👍
Mesmerizing. Didn't expect the takeoff. Thought it was just a thrust test.
I was watching this without sound and thought the rotors had slowed down. Was pretty surprised when it just lifted off!
Well done!
Inspirational DIY home engineering. 👏🏻
Impressive!
That thing is damn stable. It will be interesting to see what happens when you move the weight closer to the engine.
Damn, that beastie gets a lot of lift for how slow those them blades are a spinin.
Yes, I'm joking. 😅
Flying pallet, class.
Cool
Schaugt super guad aus !
I’m impressed! 😊
Pallet playing?? Yess i like this
Great job, thanks for sharing 👍
Wow...very impressive.
Amazing!!!!
I remember the Kaman Saver!
This needs more views. It is amazing this is all you need for the helicopter, the rest is payload
If you can get it to fly upside down you’ve got the makings of an airborne lawn mower there!

awesome
my pallet jack only goes up about four inches..
I am absolutely shocked by stability in flight. That's rock solid. They say helicopters are always 3 seconds from crashing, due to innate instability of the flight method, but here? Noooope!
ok, I absolutely didnt expect it to take off including the pallet, thought it was just a starting platform :O
Impressed
"Look honey, Amazon is delivering a pallet to that man in the field!"
All that weight it's lifting is impressive.
Contrarotating intersecting rotor blades, what could possibly go wrong?
Now that's a test platform.
amazon will love this :)
Wow. I love ve this!
To be fair, it does look just like a real K-Max!
AWESOME
Well done mate Helis are very hard to fly at the best of times
Well done
You were standing much closer than I ever would have been. 😅
Finally, we no longer need a forklift
The blades are conning up!
Outstanding
How do you achieve directional control? You can't vary the rotor speed and the blades don't look like you can vary the pitch.
that's awesome! If I fly this I would be afraid that one of the blades breaks and shoots in my face :D
При чем тут выдержка??? Трава шевелится и машина едет нормально!

Mocking grade school projects when you don't understand the basics yourself. 😂
SUPER! 😀
Nice Work Sir.
If you can add a Pusher Prop.
Then you will have best of both worlds.
Proof that things that should not fly *_CAN FLY!!!_*
I want to know how this way of flying controls the direction and speed of movement. Can anyone explain the principle?
Amazing!
This project is great. What are you going to do with it?
the mechanics will be placed in a K-MAX model
Elon will con a bunch of schmucks out of millions with it, and never deliver it.
Wow! You spent $12,090 to lift a pallet!!! Good on you.
Groovy man ..
Nice !
Excellent 👌
Wow
Nice I can get my palettes delivered direct to my fire
Cool! 👍 (now, let's see fly some 3d. With the pallet..😜)
최고다
How is it flying even tho the rotors are movingly slowly
Pallet is cool. Needs a crate.
That's great to see! Where was this filmed? In Bloomfield CT USA you'll often see the K-MAX flying around, as well as the two seater Huskie (aka Yellow School Bus) which I believe is used for training.
It was filmed in Switzerland, K-MAX is often seen here too, but not Huskie!
Crazy cool.
👍👍👍
You could also use a pallet jack
