Rather than a lager-type O-Bahn, what about a thermal lift chimney-style 'wall of death' track?
Just get the vortices flowing & its up.. up.. & away...
Because I forgot to add that if this Dedalus was flying around the ground, with these 30 km / h it would be enough for wings 2.5 m / 5 = 0.5 square meters, i.e. 1 m x 0.5 m in this package .. That's what the wings have models of airplanes .. And probably for the drive of the bike, too, that such a package of 10 such small wings would be enough on this tilting beam .. .. Well, unless someone is riding a bike to stay healthy ..Feliks wrote: ↑01 Aug 2021, 05:12

Well, I have already shown that such a vehicle can move on its own if we accelerate it to such a speed of 30 km / h. but as a windmill I would be useful, not least because the wind blows, when it needs to add any power it wants ... It is an uncomfortable situation ... ) 5 m ^ 2, gives us a lift of 3290 N. Well, but with this speed, we must also take into account the aerodynamic drag plus friction costs .. they are respectively 596 N + 300 N = 896 N. which we have to subtract from the lift used .. we will have to use 2394 N (~~ 240 KG), And now, by analogy, that is 300 N will give us about 200 Watt what power manages, these 2394/300 = 8 times more power to obtain, that is 8 x 200 W = ~ 1.5 KW of power to obtain at this speed .. By mounting the alternator on such a vehicle, we will get 1.5 KW of power, but all the time, regardless of the weather, and only due to the movement of such a vehicle, 24 / 7. By building a railway track around the city in which you live, let's say with a diameter of 2 km, we will get 6 km of a closed circuit on which we can put such vehicles in order to generate electricity and distribute it to the network using a pantograph, similar to a locomotive electricity .. But now, such a vehicle may have, let's say, 5 wings as in my drawing, which may cause the amount of electricity it produces to increase by 5 times that is, 5 x 1.5 = 7.5 KW. for one vehicle .. now, the length of this track, it will be 6000 meters, and if we put 300 such vehicles every 20 meters each, it will give us 300 x 7.5 = 2250 Kw, or 2.2 MW. but always, without watching the wind blowing .. Of course, you can build 5 such tracks in parallel, for example, and five for the height, then this power will increase by 25 times or 50 MW. Maybe this will satisfy the energy needs of your small town? These are just the first ideas, but for example the track can also go up and down, say 200 meters, like today's windmills, which will give us 400 meters of work. ? The rest depends on your ideas .. ..

Such an old drawing for the diagram I am thinking of ..

But now what if you turned the World "upside down "?
https://www.new4stroke.com/piec100.jpg
Because it would be a vehicle whose wings could float in water .... water has 1000 times greater specific weight, so the forces are probably also 1000 times greater ..
Well, I don't want to multiply the above calculation by 1000, because that would give 15,000 MW. or 1/3 of the power needed in Great Britain
now you can see that you can also make much smaller wings - here you can see in the video that they are really small, how one such "dog wing" can keep an 8-ton yacht afloat .. this is the force that is really small at a speed of 30 km / h could give energy to pressure the swing ..

I recommend developing the idea further ..

At first glance, this is not a good solution, because the resistance to movement may be greater than the force obtained .. Although not necessarily, because if you think about such a solution, it is possible to further research and develop it .. for now, he would stop at the simplest solution of the classic profile, which gives this resistance to lift at least 1: 5. (1: 10) But here you can see that for the price of complications, maybe something could still be obtained .. here such a movie too ..
What if a flat planed wing was place across infront of it? would the air movement not cause lift on it?

But it's good that there are developing ideas, but you have to be careful not to make them worse, but really profitable. And it probably won't be easy, because the speed of sound was only exceeded 50 years after the first flight of the Wright Brothers.
But the most important thing is that we are already "flying" ..

Well, such complications require research .. Preferably in the wind tunnel ..Big Tea wrote: ↑06 Aug 2021, 14:03What if a flat planed wing was place across infront of it? would the air movement not cause lift on it?

Many thanks to Zynerja for this movie. This is a real development and makes it easier to understand this new idea .. It is clearly visible that this type of wing can be better than a classic windmill ..
But... Andrew, surely this is an example of the dreaded 'pendulum fallacy'!Feliks wrote: ↑23 Aug 2021, 05:22Further development of the idea --- well, 3 times longer arms can be done .. then 3 times smaller area of the wings can be used for the same effect ..

Well, you can also drive such a trolley, use the way of sitting, not pushing its arms with your hands .. Just like children do when playing.

Those who believe in global warming in the garden can be fitted with generators for such a swing for their children. Children play, they will also make electricity ..
It's such a completely new kind of sit drive.
