Lift generating device

摘要

A lift generating device is provided enabling vertical flight. The lift generating device includes a first revolution structure having a funnel shape and a second revolution structure having a funnel shape. Each revolution structure includes a circular open surface and an open stem. The second revolution structure is attached to the first revolution structure by a plurality of connectors so as to form a gap between the first revolution structure and the second revolution structure. A propeller is coupled to an open stem at a bottom end of the first revolution structure and a motor is operatively connected to the propeller to provide power for the propeller to suction air into the lift generating device.

1. A lift generating device for enabling vertical flight comprising:
a first revolution structure having a funnel shape and including a circular open surface and an open stem; a second revolution structure having a funnel shape and including an open surface and an open stem, the second revolution structure attached to the first revolution structure by a plurality of connectors and spaced therefrom so as to form a gap of a size sufficient to provide a selected air flow velocity between the first revolution structure and the second revolution structure; a propeller coupled to an open stem at a bottom end of the first revolution structure, the propeller being disposed between the first revolution structure and the second revolution structure; and a motor operatively connected to the propeller to provide power for the propeller to suction air into the lift generating device such that a pressure difference is created so as to generate an upward directed force.
