Propeller Orientation
March 19, 2019
Conducted tests on propeller orientation after finding differing results in motor configuration from other teams conducting AEV design project. Propellers oriented with serial numbers faced away from AEV and at the top of the propeller and serial numbers at the bottom of the propeller. Tests conducted in running AEV on same track and power to compare efficiency of the orientations.
It was found that the original orientation proved to be more efficient than the flipped designs, but marginally more.
Flipped pull design that was found in the experiment.
Regular pull design that was found to be more efficient than the flipped design.
Flipped push design from the experiment.
Regular Push design that was more efficient than its flipped counterpart.
