That tank propeller idea is interesting - but next I think you need to make the weird propeller-flying-saucer thing from the first Incredibles movie.

[MrSweetHart]

I think this would be a great new series, taking weird ideas from the past and seeing if you can make them fly

Another fun video. Thanks for sharing, guys.

The flying radiator's part of the problem was its wheel configuration. two of them directly underneath the wings.
Maybe if you open up the "triangle" between them a bit, you could achieve a more stable takeoff and avoid the still pivot thing

Printing the blades standing up was likely a large part of the fragility issue. Laying them down would create significantly stronger parts, though it would probably require some support material.

I'm impressed just how persistent Peter is... Everything is ahowing him that it won't work, but he knows he can make it work. Mad props lad

The 20 stack is insane. To see it actually fly is outstanding and doing some acrobatics too..
Good stuff.

[DaffaBun]

Making old failed flying experiments actually work is such a cool thing to do!

For the tank tread propeller, you may be able to prevent the tips of the blades colliding by implementing a continuous curvature guide plate for the "treads" to ride on. Right now you are going from linear motion to rotary motion with no ramp up/down in speed, which is causing the blades to bunch up at the intersection where the treads overshoot coming off the drive sprocket.

🤣I haven't had that good a laugh in ages. The prop-crop-duster?

Getting that multi-wing plane to fly like that was an absolute thing of beauty! I loved it!

[Medievalfan]

The collisions on the tank track prop blades was from the blades being violently taken from a circular to a linear motion. They wanted to go round and pitched forward while the next blade was already on the straight path forward and the tips collided. If you put some suppord rail under the tank track to avoid the track from bending in after the wheel it would reduce the problem and help with blade longevity :)

That multi wing plane was amazing, so goofy looking yet it seemed to fly well. Really well done and Very entertaining

@petersripol I used to watch you as a child, back when you averaged under 30k views. It made my day rediscovering your channel and to see the tremendous growth! Congrats to your success, hard work, and dedication! 🎉🎉

[joesanpatricio]

I was shocked that the flying blinds worked so well! It was surprisingly stable in ways i hadn't predicted at all lol

[jennareynolds]

I think the tank tread propellers have merit; just have them on a circular track. Then you essentially have a prop that rotates around a circle, rather than an axle. You could then have propellors wrapping around the hull!

[serenedaoud]

For the caterpillar tred plane you could have just put the blades around a big circle. That way there would be less blades bumping into each other, and you would obtain a more constant thrust as well.

I've always wanted to build a tank-tread paddle wheel drive for a watercraft. I imagine the blades dropping flat on the forward direction, then popping open when they enter the water. This could theoretically even work if the system was fully submerged. Idk if you've done boats, but very much enjoy your aircraft vids. Keep it up:)😊

Loved the flying box fan!

Suggestion: aspect ratio wings with wingtip props. Like wings so wide you have to have steel wire supports

Maybe print the blades horizontally not vertically?
