Power is delivered through the Rotary Transformer\u2122 to the armature.<br \/>\nThe armature sits on a set of bearings, the same as the rotor, allowing both to rotate in opposite directions. When power is transferred to the armature, it applies a force which drives the while the second propeller attached to the<br \/>\narmature is driven in the opposite direction. Both the rotor and armature are anchored to a single shaft, which is fixed to the drone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CR Flight claims this approach allows the motors to run much cooler, produce more thrust than conventional motors and last longer.\u00a0 Their &#8220;Made in the USA&#8221;
