How is the rotor powered?
1146614
Mine arrived broken, it wouldn't work due to very low quality connectors inside the rotor housing. I soldered the wire right to the unit and got everything up and running. No problems since. The unit gets its power from the inside control box - also be aware it loses calibration with regular use.

It's connected from the control head in the home by a 3 connector cable the has color coded wires in the cable that usually has a red, green and black colors and the control head has as well as the rotor itself has numbers 1, 2 and 3 at connector points to help making sure u get the wires connected to the right sequence (1 to red, 2 to green and 3 to black). Hope this helps

Electricity.... But I would not buy the newer product from CM due to the poor quality of the materials used, since they out-sourced the manufacturing to China. Mine is still sitting atop the 50 foot tower frozen after only 3 months of use; and, that was over 5 years ago.

The control box (operated by remote control) that is placed in your house receives its 18 volt power from a small 120 V.A.C. step-down included transformer (powered from your standard house receptacle). This control box provides a low voltage (18 Volts) that is sent via 3-conductor cable to the outside unit rotor motor that is usually placed on the roof. Voltage reversal by the unit determines the direction which the rotor rotates. Some older units voltages might differ from current units so some caution is advised: Buy complete up-to-date packaged unit. My older unit died after 25 plus years and the newer unit is in use for 3 years. . .fingers and toes crossed!

Not sure what the question is exactly. The whote system is powered by an external (wall wart) power supply. I can't rember off the top of my head if it is AC or DC output but I think DC 18V.The rotor itself is powered by the control box through the three wire rotor cable which simply reverses for CW and CCW roration. There is no feedback to the control box. The position of the rotor is determined by time it is running. If it gets off position, just running to end in both directions synchronizes it again.

Number 2's answer is great. It is an electrical device. Don't forget the cable has to get from outside your home to inside your home. Drill a hole, etc.

It uses batteries in the controller to charge a capacitor in the helicopter. The charge lasts more than long enough to break the drive gears in the first or second flight so it will no longer fly. I had no response from numerous email and calls to world tech toys. Save your money...

Just twist the throttle on the right handle, just like a motorcycle then it powers itself.

The entire unit rotates. The fan itself is very powerful. The down side is the little oscillation motor...the little gears in them wear out and impossible to find replacement parts.

It is powered both up and down/I am very happy with mine. Great for lifting lawn tractor for cleaning.

Our trusty builder friend and I picked this generator out. Even tho we've had it for maybe a year, we havent had to use it but we tested it. it has electric push starter and a pull chain which is how you start it.

Sorry, I am of no help with this question. We gave the helicopter as a gift to a grandson.

It does, but they are a piece of crap. The one I bought was junk right out of the box. The rotor doesn't even move. The company said they will warranty it but because so many were bad it will take a year to get a replacement! The best on the market is OEM replacement.

It can be powered by either. Don't waste your money on this product though. Very poorly made and breaks easily.

The remote takes 4 AA batteries, there is a cord on the remote that plugs into the helicopter that charges it from the 4 AA batteries.

It has to stay plugged in via A/C power. It is not battery operated. It is loud. As loud as you would expect a 500 Watt motor. You'll get over it once you start to use it. It is a fantastic device. Never runs out of air. Never stops blowing at full power. Get's a little warm in your hands if you don't use the black handle and air escapes out every seam, but that is normal. Clearly an overbuilt device. It's awesome!!! Best to use it outdoors to clean things as it blasts dust and dirt all over the place!

This unit is fully powered. If you have a roller that does not move you need to call the manufacturer.

Both wheels turn so I assume they are both powered by battery. It was a gift for our grandson so I'm not seeing it myself

It has been flown into ceiling fans and walls multiple times,it is made of almost all metal,it is really durable and a great helicopter,hope this answers your question.

It has a cable that comes out of the controller as well as a usb cord to charge the helicopter. The controller hookup see to take a while longer than plugging it in to the computer.

It comes with a rechargeable battery in the helicopter. The remote requires batteries, sold separately.

The machine is very powerful, but at it's highest level it is noisy. It has a rheostat to allow increasing or lowering the motor speed.
