Is a 2 stroke engine enough to produce 300lb+ of lift given a single propeller?

How about you do some math to figure it out? Or are you really going to build this deathtrap based off a yes/no from some asshole on this website?
Joshua Sanders
Yes two stroke engines can provide lift.
Evan Gonzalez
No, bro, you need at least 3 strokes for 300lb+.
Charles King
Now the big question, If i get 4 engines, one for each propeller, would i be able to theoretically make a human size drone that could fly?
Carter Ramirez
Yes.
Zachary Cox
Try rotomax, and arduino, an rpi.
Nathan Butler
two strokes would have more torque
Thomas Mitchell
depends entirely on torque output, rpm and the propellers

I recommend an airplane.

What you're looking for is a "gyrocopter". They're typically made for descents but you can also power them with a 2-st and fly around in em.
Christian Richardson
What's wrong with airplanes?

The landing.

>Is a 2 stroke engine
That's.... not very specific. If you mean an engine like in a tiny shit generator like on your pic then I guess if you gut it completely it might have enough power to lift itself and a little extra, however I'm not sure if even 4 of those will have enough of the "little extra" oomf to take you with them.

Ah it's those things that literally can't fail because of how they work and yet people still manage to kill themselves in them?
Caleb Richardson
They could actually help you there if you do some research first and have a clearly stated question. ie. Exactly what sort of two-stroke engine with whatever parameters you can find

winged glider is better and safer

This is the most rational thing someone has said all day.
Hunter Wright
This guy needed 2 engines and it barely flies.

Yes, but what you really want to focus on is thrust to weight. Most of the engineering in flying machines is getting them to be both reliable and low weight. The science is nontrivial.
Luckily for you, decades of work has already been done in this field! The machine you're looking for is called a "helicopter".

Use a rotary engine
Nicholas Gray
google "chitty chitty bang bang" and you will see all you need op
Luis Diaz
There's some Nissan/Toyota engines now, that weigh like 30lb and do 200hp+.
Never saw anyone use the fancy ones with that power to weight ratio.
Angel Gray
part of the reason he used two engines was because using two engines is and easy countertorque that saves the weight+cost of a diff
Brody Williams
is the correct board for this, fyi.

People kill themselves while using TVs and PCs all the time, so it really isn't worth mentioning.
