Video: 3D modeled motor works like a real thing

The Harcoreta member from the RCGroups.com forum has just posted a video test of the performance and thrust of a model engine printed with 3D printers, adapted by engines General Electrics built for Boeing. 787 Dreamliner.

The engine is printed with a 3D printer running like a real one

Harcoreta said the 100mm diameter engine model consists of 18 main rotors mounted on 34mm turbines and 24 directional valves to optimize air flow, all printed with 3D printers. Motor operation is a 1400 kV 35mm NTM motor that can generate thrust above 0.5kg, large enough to operate a remote-controlled RC model aircraft and this is also the purpose created by Harcoreta.

The design and fabrication of a model engine that can operate has been a bigger challenge and challenge when the model must be as realistic as possible. Harcoreta has even integrated a backflow mechanism or thrust collider (thrust reverser) into the engine. As a result, when installed on an RC model aircraft, this system can help the aircraft land more smoothly and can stop as desired like a real aircraft. However, compared to the real engine, Harcoreta models also have certain differences such as a simpler engine suspension tower and a smaller exhaust throat.
