Multiple Rotor Motor: Possible or Not?

In summary, the conversation is about a possible design for a motor with two rotors set at different angles and wrapped separately but with the same current/voltage running through them. The question is whether the repulsion between similar poles would cause the rotors to push each other apart and if this design would be possible for generating a large amount of torque at low current. The purpose is not to generate heat.

what i mean by this is a basic dipole motor, but with two of them side by side set at different angles. it's kind of hard to explain. but try to think of a tripole motor, but with an extra pole. then keep both of extra poles at different angles than the other two (so maybe 90º apart, or smaller, smaller would work better for my ACTUAL question, so think like 12º apart), then move the two extra poles over horizontally. so its like two rotors side by side, simply at different angles. both of these rotors are wrapped seperately, but with the same current/voltage running through them. would this be possible? or because of the repolusion between similar poles would the rotors simply push each other apart until they broke?

if you need more help visualizing, tell me, i can maybe draw something up and post it some how. or if this is in the wrong forum, please someone tell me!

until then, thanx!

It is kinda like a standard single rotor motor with a fundimental and a strong 5th harmonic, fighting to rotate the motor in reverse. Is the purpose to generate heat?, there are much simpler methods.

no the purpose isn't to genrate heat. its more to creat a large amount of torque at a low current.
 

FAQ: Multiple Rotor Motor: Possible or Not?

Is a multiple rotor motor a feasible concept?

Yes, a multiple rotor motor is a feasible concept. In fact, there are already several examples of multiple rotor motors in use, such as in helicopters and drones.

How does a multiple rotor motor work?

A multiple rotor motor works by using multiple rotors, or spinning blades, to generate lift and propulsion. Each rotor is connected to a central motor, which provides the power to spin the rotors at high speeds.

What are the advantages of a multiple rotor motor?

Some advantages of a multiple rotor motor include increased stability, maneuverability, and efficiency. Multiple rotors allow for better control and balance, and can also distribute the workload among the rotors for more efficient lift and thrust.

Are there any limitations to using a multiple rotor motor?

One limitation of using a multiple rotor motor is the increased complexity and maintenance required. In addition, a larger number of rotors can also lead to more noise and potential safety concerns.

Can a multiple rotor motor be used for commercial transportation?

Yes, multiple rotor motors have been proposed for use in commercial transportation, such as air taxis and cargo delivery drones. However, there are still many technical and regulatory challenges that need to be addressed before this becomes a widespread reality.
