RE: My New Tail
Interesting concept of dual motors. I'm no engineer but what effect does it have on power consumption? PLUS>>>in order for the tail to be held at a specfic position, there must be a given RPM on the tail rotor, be it one motor or two...the tail rotor has to operate at a given speed to maintain a position or positions as input from the transmitter dictates. If it works the way you say, it splits the power consumption between the two motors reducing milli amp draw to each motor in half as opposed to having one motor do all the work still operating at the same RPM. The tail rotor is the "load" in the amount of air it grabs and pushes (resistance to torque from the motor/motors). I guess my point is that if you connect two 500hp engines together...you still only get 500hp. Since motors are not batteries, you cannot put them in series and gain power. If you wire them in parallel, I believe that you are putting the same current and torque to each motor but the load factor is still a constant and power consumption will increase because of the second motor drawing. Check this on meter or scope and see what you get....I'd be interested to see the results. Not that it's not a bad idea in theory and I'm not flaming you or anything...just wondering.
