Week 3 - Project Research

Introduction

A quad-copter, also called a quad rotor helicopter, is a multi-copter that is lifted and propelled by four rotors. Quad-copters are classified as rotorcraft, as opposed to fixed-wing aircraft, because their lift is generated by a set of revolving narrow-chord airfoils. Unlike most helicopters, quad-copters generally use symmetrically pitched blades. Quad-copter operated by thrust that produce by four motors that attached to it body. Quad-copter has advantages over the conventional helicopter where the mechanical design is simpler. Besides that, Quad-copter changes direction by manipulating the individual propeller’s speed and does not require cyclic and collective pitch control.

This project is to build a quad-copter that can lift up for about 2kg load and can be controlled by controller wirelessly. This quad-copter will reduce the burden on the residents of flats to lift the load for about 2kg go up to their house. This greatly simplifies the user when their flats do not have access to a lift. This quad-copter also can be use at the dangerous environment such as in nuclear reactor or building on fire where can ease and reduce the risk for the purpose of rescue or anything risky job.

Week 2 - Find The Title Of My FYP

For the first my FYP entitled is power bank shaker. This project is about to make a power bank that generate and store current by only shake the power bank. It also can be recharge by using the normal charger. This application is same like mechanical watch. But my supervisor SHO rejected this project because previous semester, there have students do this project but only generate only small output and did not full fill his specification.

Example of Power Bank Shaker

So, he suggested to me a great idea what should I do for my FYP. My final FYP entitled is Development of Quad-copter To Lift 2kg Load.
