Question

Asked by: shapharian
Subject: X-Zylo
Question: Why does this toy fly? Can a large scale version be built enclosed in a duct with magnetic coils to spin the gyro rim to sufficient speed for propulsion? Should vanes be placed inside the duct for vortex effect?

Has anyone tried a open hub / hubless gyro in a shroud? it seems it would make a great impeller / propeller if you leave the hub open and at low pressure.
