Abstract: A device for self-balancing a rotating part, such as a propeller, along a given axis is disclosed. The propeller 102 coupled to, a drive shaft with freedom for linear movement along longitudinal axis L-L; at least one pair of levers 614/616, comprising a first lever 614-1/616-1 and a second lever 614-2/616-2, that are pivotally mounted on mounting plate 606 at two diametrically opposite points 618; and at least one pair of weights 622 fixed at external ends of the levers 614/616. inner ends of levers 614/616 are operatively coupled to the propeller 102 such that when propeller 102 undergoes a linear movement in any direction along the longitudinal, axis L-L due to unbalance, inner ends of levers are, moved to cause the weights 622 to move to provide a balancing force to neutralize the unbalance in the propeller. An embodiment with only one pair of levers is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Aspects of the present disclosure provide a UAV that includes at least four arms, each configured with a co-axial pair of contra rotating propellers, wherein each propeller has capability of rotating reversibly with associated reversal of direction of thrust, and an autopilot control system that controls rotational direction and speed of the at least four co-axial pairs of propellers to maintain yaw stability, roll stability and pitch stability of the UAV, wherein in an event of failure of any one co-axial pair out of the at least four co-axial pairs of propellers, the autopilot control system reverses direction of rotation and thereby direction of thrust of at least one propeller of any functional pair.
