About The Customer
Mohyi Labs is an innovative company that aims to push the boundaries of drone technology. The company is known for its ambitious projects, such as the development of a Bladeless Drone, which utilizes Ducted Counter-Vortex Radial Impeller Propulsion technology. This technology is a testament to Mohyi Labs' commitment to pioneering new solutions in the drone industry. The company's CEO and Bladeless Drone Inventor, John Mohyi, is a visionary leader who recognizes the importance of advanced tools and technologies in achieving precision engineering. Despite the challenges faced in the development process, Mohyi Labs remains dedicated to its mission of revolutionizing drone technology.
The Challenge
Mohyi Labs, a pioneering company in the field of drone technology, faced significant challenges in the development of their Bladeless Drone. The company was working on a novel Ducted Counter-Vortex Radial Impeller Propulsion technology, but the design optimization process was proving to be a major hurdle. Prior to the involvement of ANSYS, the process required a considerable degree of detective work, relying heavily on indirect methods to deduce the characteristics of the invisible forces at work. While this approach was successful in the early stages, it was time-consuming, significantly increased the difficulty level, and escalated development costs. Mohyi Labs recognized the need for advanced physics simulations to achieve the level of precision engineering required for their project. However, these advanced simulations were, until recently, exclusive to large corporations, academic, and military users.
The Solution
ANSYS, through its startup accelerator program, provided Mohyi Labs with both the tools and technical support to unlock the power of the world's most advanced simulation tools. The ANSYS simulation tools, particularly the CFX turbomachinery module, allowed Mohyi Labs to directly observe and measure how well their counter-vortex geometry influenced the airflow, eliminating the guesswork in their design iteration process. This partnership with ANSYS not only provided Mohyi Labs with the necessary tools but also gave them more freedom to experiment. They were able to run through multiple design iterations in a fraction of the time and effort it previously took to print and assemble a single prototype.
Operational Impact
  • The partnership with ANSYS has significantly improved the operational efficiency of Mohyi Labs. The use of advanced simulation tools has streamlined the design optimization process, eliminating the need for indirect methods and guesswork. This has allowed the team to focus more on innovation and experimentation, fostering a more creative and productive work environment. Furthermore, the ability to run through multiple design iterations in a fraction of the time has accelerated the development process, bringing Mohyi Labs closer to their goal of revolutionizing drone technology. The collaboration with ANSYS has not only provided Mohyi Labs with the necessary tools but also empowered them to push the boundaries of what is possible in drone technology.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Reduced the time and effort required for multiple design iterations
  • Decreased development costs by eliminating the need for physical prototypes
  • Enabled direct observation and measurement of airflow, improving the precision of the design
