Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wing ring flying saucers rely on an extra engine for horizontal propulsion, leading to reduced carrying capacity, increased energy consumption, and pollution, and cannot simultaneously utilize central and outer engine rooms for communication and connection, while also facing challenges in maintaining uniform wing panel rotation and resisting centrifugal forces.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a method where fins or fluid generators on the wing ring repeat deflection actions in circular motions to generate horizontal thrust without an additional engine, allowing for simultaneous operation of central and outer engine rooms and optimizing wing panel rotation, using deflection mechanisms to produce forces in specific sections for propulsion, turning, and braking.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If an extra engine is added for horizontal propulsion, then the flying saucer can achieve forward motion, but the carrying capacity is reduced and energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvehorizontal propulsion capabilityVSAvoidcarrying capacity

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSWeight of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The coleopter rotor is designed to perform multiple functions: it generates lift for vertical flight and simultaneously provides horizontal propulsion through differential speed control of opposing rotor sections. This eliminates the need for a separate horizontal engine, maintaining carrying capacity while achieving forward motion.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The rotor system uses variable speed control where opposite sections of the rotor can rotate at different speeds. By creating a speed differential between opposing rotor sections, horizontal thrust is generated dynamically without adding extra engines, thus preserving carrying capacity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #15Dynamics

2Speed

If an extra engine is added for horizontal propulsion, then the flying saucer can achieve forward motion, but energy consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvehorizontal propulsion capabilityVSAvoidenergy consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

SpeedVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The coleopter rotor serves dual purposes of vertical lift and horizontal propulsion through differential speed control, eliminating the need for additional engines and reducing overall energy consumption of the system.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The horizontal propulsion function is merged with the vertical lift function by using the same rotor system with differential speed control, rather than adding a separate propulsion system. This consolidation reduces total energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Strength

If the diameter of the coleopter is increased, then the lift capability is improved, but the centrifugal force on the annular truss increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvelift capabilityVSAvoidcentrifugal force on annular truss

Core Design Contradiction:

StrengthVSForce

Solution Approach 1:

The rotor system is divided into multiple independent rotor sections that can be controlled separately. This segmentation allows the structure to handle centrifugal forces more effectively while maintaining large diameter for sufficient lift capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The rotational speed of different rotor sections is varied to optimize performance. By controlling the speed parameters of individual sections, the system achieves sufficient lift from large diameter while managing centrifugal forces on the annular truss structure.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

A wing ring flying saucer is disclosed, which is operative to be driven to fly fast without needing an extra engine, and can turn, brake and fly backwards. The method of flying the wing ring flying saucer is as follows: airfoils of the wing ring or flow generators are enabled to repeat the same inclining process while passing by a specific section in circular motions of two times or more than three times in succession, so that a force perpendicular to the axial direction is created from an original resultant force in line with the axial direction of the wing ring (that is, a resultant force created by lift produced by all the airfoils), thereby enabling the wing ring flying saucer to fly, turn and go backwards at a relatively high speed.
