Dyson - Bladeless Fans

[SupremeSpod]

The clue is in the name... "Air multiplier"?

Kind of like you know what a cheese slicer does and you know what a carpet cleaner is.

Would you care to explain how NOTAR works?

I'm not doing your homework for you.

Might it be possible to use something similar for the main rotor and create some sort of UFO like contraption?

Yes, it was called the 'Avrocar'.

[SupremeSpod]

Yes, it was called the 'Avrocar'.

Which had a bladed fan.

The NOTAR works in a similar way to Dysons Fan to produce its Anti-torque rotor replacement.

You talk so much tulip it is untrue.

Where in the dyson fan is there a jet engine?

The MD600N (N for NOTAR) has a gas-turboshaft engine to drive the main rotor and an impeller forward of the tail boom. The tail-boom is shaped to induce a force in the opposite direction to that created by the rotation of the main rotor by the down-draft created from the main rotor. A slit running along the length of the boom ejects some of the air flow to induce additional airflow over the boom. This force is augmented by an additional rotatable outlet at the end of the tail boom. The rotatable nozzle is controlled by means of the pilots conventional anti-torque/rudder pedals.

So, to answer your question. The impeller in the base of Dysons fan creates the airflow just as the airflow in the NOTAR is created by an impeller. It's just that Dyson uses an electric motor to drive their impeller and McDonnel Douglas use a Gas-turboshaft engine to drive theirs.

So.

Your turn.

So, basically, I could use the motor and battery from a common or garden radio controlled model to generate the airflow, all I would need to do is build a very lightweight duct / wing thingy.

I feel some balsa wood coming on. I always wanted a UFO.
