I've been playing around with gears lately. I'm looking for inspiration what to do with them. Please leave your ideas in the comments and I'll see if I can make it.
Controls:
Throttle fully open, that's pretty much it.
Note that the red, white and blue gears are the same shape but spinning at different speeds. Physics is fun :)

I'm stuck at another project involving gears. Any help is really welcome. Thanks for thinking with me!

@winterro next to that I think you'll need an army of gyros to keep it stable with the VTOL engines
@winterro love the idea but I don't think it'll produce enough torque(hope that's the right word, not a native English speaker). When you try and up the speed either by using another one of the big gears or too many 8 to 12 gears it'll jam
@P7VDS
maybe a helicopter
