Hi, I need help with some calculations for a budget hoverboard project I'm attempting. What I'm envisioning is really an oversized, remote controlled drone that can lift a person. I want to make it as compact as possible while still being usable. I am trying to calculate a formula to find the minimum diameter the EDFs could be based on the require pounds of thrust by the number of fans (4). I may be way off. Please let me know what I can do.
possibly helpful notes: I weigh about 54 kgs and the board will have edfs, (not possible to calculate their weight obviously) a wooden skateboard deck (about 2kg), a bike battery (about 10kg probably) and possibly a gyroscope for stability and remote control technology. (total maybe 16kg give or take, total weight excluding fans is around 70 kg will need 75kg for good lift)
