Flying Saucer
From Alpha One Labs
A design for a spacecraft. Inspired by the gyroscopic effect of a gyro. The craft will consist of an inner portion (104) that is round in shape and resembles the drawing in diagram 1. The complete craft (110) will look similar to the drawing In diagram 2. As you can see It looks something like a football. The aerodynamics of the craft will mimic those of a football slightly. The craft (110) will spin around in a counter-clockwise direction (118) scooping air into the inner chamber (111). This will produce a massive amount of air pressure (119) which will then be forced out of the bottom of the craft through the thruster (105), lifting The craft (110) up by creating a thrust pattern (120). There will be 4 thrust directional mechanisms (116) each containing thrust volume adjusters (115) mounted on the bottom panel (117) A top view of the craft (106) will result In a view similar to diagram 3. Once the craft is hovering in the air, a directional thruster (105) will change which way the air is pushed. This will produce a forward motion (102). The thruster(105) ls illustrated In (diagram 4). There will probably be a similar thruster (113) on top to produce more thrust. This craft is mainly designed to appeal to upcoming space exploration missions. It will later be developed to appeal to a consumer level. It might be possible if this concept ls developed and tested more, to visit your relatives on Pluto, or go out for a Friday night on Mars. Diagram 5 Shows a 3d version of the outer shell wings (107). Diagram 6 shows the side view of the craft(109) in its forward direction (112). The craft will be powered by high powered nuclear cells.
The craft will consist of Lightweight hulls or wings. One will be the outer
part called the outer shell, the outer shell will spin around the Inner shell by means
of an electrical motor mechanism. The motor magnets will be directly incorporated
between the outer shell and inner shell (108). The appropriate wiring and
electromagnetic field generating devices will be incorporated into the crevice where
the shells meet (114) The outer shell will be balanced at high speeds greater than
9000 rpm.
The user (101) will sit in a cockpit (122) on a controller floor (100) in a spherical
fluid balanced encapsulated center (121). They will have a panoramic display of the
exterior (102) captured from cameras on the inner shell (124). The user will use a
joystick (123) and other controllers (123) to control the craft.
