As a fellow kerbal fan, I never knew how they truly worked in real life. This is exactly the type of informative video I was searching for, so thank you!
Great video! What motor are you using? I have experimented with different types of drone motors but the motor always had too little power. But maybe it's also due to ESC.
Very good video, thanks, greetings from Peru, a query, what is the difference between a reaction wheel and a DC or brushless motor, and if you have a video of the assembly, as I am thinking of investigating in motor control focused on attitude control.
If i am trying to balance in say the x or the y axis would the motor also rotate in the same direction and change speed only, say for example if i want to to maintain 45 deg around the x axis and also should the other 2 motors be running ?
Hey, Im trying to replicate this for a home project, but I cant quite get the reaction wheel code to work. Would you be able to link the code you used in a github or something like that? GREAT VIDEO BTW!!
That’s an easy one to answer: I’m not. What I’m doing is controlling the rotation speed of the brushless motor using the speed controller. The controller cycles the coils in the motor at a certain, controlled, rate and that’s the speed of the wheel.

clear demonstration! easy to understand.your demo is really delicate and reveal the theory of how to controll a satilite.Really useful!
Magnetorquer for your next project & vid? You could use it to desaturate the reaction wheel, perhaps... Loved the little Easter egg at the end!
Haha, I was waiting for someone to ask for that! I'm actually thinking that a pair of control moment gyros might be an interesting project.
Brilliant video! Best demonstration of reaction wheels I’ve seen yet.
Man, I though you have 1 million subs already. You deserve at least 1 million subs
Thanks, that’s nice of you to say. Tell your friends I guess 😆
Very interesting. I had no idea how this worked. Thank you

Excellent video again!
Loved the demos. Hope to see a lot more. Subscribed.
Beautiful explanation and demo!

Awesome explanation. Thank you!
Very well explained. Thanks
What would happen, if the wheel stopped? Could it start back up without holding the box?
Great video. TY for all your effort. You may find the ESP32 a better option than Arduino.
Reaction Wheels!
I wish there was a mlre complex way to despin them
What do you mean? When they are saturated?
@@sssfsfdfsdsdffsfsdf4 yes
Is the reaction control units in space on constantly?
Is there a tutorial available about how to build this project
Great explanation

can you add materials used to assemble this
Can you please share the Arduino code?
very cool
is there any chance to rebuild this project?
Can you please share your code for this project?
hi, can i get what motor you use?
What motor are you using?
I loved it! Thanks

Cool gadget
how are you measuring the angular velocity of the reaction wheel?
That’s an easy one to answer: I’m not. What I’m doing is controlling the rotation speed of the brushless motor using the speed controller. The controller cycles the coils in the motor at a certain, controlled, rate and that’s the speed of the wheel.
