A Review on Design and Flow Analysis of Quadcopter Propellers
Abstract: The quadcopter is a complex system in which propeller blades, aerodynamics, and structural behavior are tightly interlinked. Changing a small detail, such as blade angle or material, can significantly affect performance parameters like thrust and efficiency, as well as the drone's vibrations and stability in flight. Because quadcopters typically operate at Reynolds numbers between roughly 20,000 and 150,000, propeller theories developed for full-scale aircraft often fail to translate directly, making …

Energy harnessing solution using a vertical axis wind turbine installed on the automotive rooftop.
Abstract: The transportation sector plays a major role in greenhouse gas emissions, prompting worldwide initiatives to mitigate its environmental effects. While the shift from internal combustion engines to electric vehicles is growing, it often merely shifts emissions rather than eliminating them, as fossil fuels continue to dominate energy production. A comprehensive solution requires universal access to renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and hydro power, which is currently impractical due to …
