Hovercraft From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search For the band, see Hovercraft (band) BHC SR-N4 The world's largest hovercraft, carrying 418 passengers and 60 cars A Hovercraft , or Air-Cushion Vehicle (ACV), is an amphibious vehicle or craft , designed to travel over any sufficiently smooth surface - land or water - supported by a cushion of slowly moving, low-pressure air, ejected downwards against the surface close below it. Contents History Air cushion on hovercraft principle Design Hovercraft ... edit History In the mid-1870s, the British engineer Sir Mark Daniel Webber built a number of ground effect machine test models based on his idea of using air between the hull of a boat and the water to reduce drag of chin. citation needed Although he filed a number of patents involving air-lubricated hulls in 1877, no practical applications were found. Over the years, various other people had tried various methods of using air to reduce the drag on ships. The first fully functional, rigid-walled hovercraft was designed by Austrian Dagobert M¼ller von Thomam¼hl and built by the Imperial Austro-Hungarian Navy (Kaiserliche und K¶nigliche Kriegsmarine) "Seearsenal" (Naval base) at Pola. The 'Versuchsgleitboot - System Thomam¼hl' was launched on 2/9/1915

8. The History Of The Hovercraft - Christopher Cockerell The hovercraft was invented by Christopher Cockerell in 1956. http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blhovercraft.htm

H Start Inventions The History of the Hovercraft - Christopher Cockerell Inventors Inventors Essentials Beginners' 101 Turn Ideas Into Money ... Help Hovercraft By Mary Bellis A hovercraft is a vehicle supported on a cushion of air supplied by a powered fan mounted on the craft. The hovercraft was invented by Christopher Cockerell in 1956. The theory behind one of the most successful inventions of the 20th century, the Hovercraft, was originally tested in 1955 using an empty KiteKat cat food tin inside a coffee tin, an industrial air blower and a pair of kitchen scales. Sir Christopher Cockerell developed the first practical hovercraft designs, these led to the first hovercraft to be produced commercially, the SRN1. Christopher Cockerell's idea was to build a vehicle that would move over the water's surface, floating on a layer of air. This would reduce friction between the water and vehicle. To test his hypothesis, he put one a smaller can inside a larger can and used a hairdryer to blow air into them. The downward thrust produced was greater when one can was inside the other rather than air just being blown into one can. Christopher Cockerell Biography (information provided by NASA) Christopher Sydney Cockerell was born in 1910. He worked for the Radio Research Company until 1935 and then for the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company from 1935 until 1951. During the war years, Christopher Cockerell worked with an elite team at Marconi to develop radar, a development which Churchill believed had a significant effect on the outcome of the Second World War, and Cockerell believed to be one of his greatest achievements. While at Marconi, Christopher Cockerell patented 36 of his ideas. Christopher Cockerell was knighted for his achievement in 1969.

13. Hovercrafts Fully amphibious hovercrafts, capable of carrying up to four adults on any surface. Buy your hovercraft or RC hovercraft kits and plans from ASV Australia. http://www.asv-aust.com/

Hovercrafts RC HoverCraft Kit Plans Hovercraft Picture ... HoverCraft Driving Tips The e2 Hovercraft is a fully amphibious hovercraft capable of carrying up to four adults and on any surface. From vast tidal regions, meandering estuaries, hard ground surfaces, snow fields, marshes and mangrove swamps, the e2 provides you with the exhilaration of skimming from land to water, gliding along with no ground contact for interference or spinning through 360 degrees - a new dimension in freedom. The ASV e2 hovercraft assures confidence in its' reliability, integrity, durability and operating efficiency. Its' performance and versatility are unsurpassed. Why a Hovercraft? A well-designed hovercraft is superior to a boat because it has less drag and requires less horsepower to operate. Hovercraft is 100% more fuel-efficient than a boat with similar capacity or size. Rising fuel prices and shortages will make the hovercraft a desirable form of transportation in the future. It is conceivable that someday all watercraft will use the hovercraft principal due to its many advantages. Hovercrafts ride much smoother than a boat because they move over the water, not through it. It travels over water with no concern for depth or hidden obstacles. It will go against the current of a river with no speed reduction. The hovercraft also works well in rapids, or white water for recreation, and rescue operations have been performed.

Introduction High Level Design Program Design Hardware Design ... Pictures Introduction. The Raverover is a remote-controlled hovercraft that was built as a ECE 476 final project. Originally a digital-only hovercraft (the motors only had one speed setting), our elite team of engineers removed all of the transmitter's and hovercraft's circuitry and replaced it with their own, state-of-the-art, MEGA 163 microcontroller-based circuitry to create an all new, analog-controlled hovercraft. The end result is a hovercraft that is more responsive and controllable than the original. The remote-controlled hovercraft has three dc motors - one to provide the cushion of air to ride upon, and two to provide steering and propulsion. Steering is controlled by differential thrust. The following table summarizes the different possibilities: Left Motor Right Motor Result Forward Forward Forward Forward Reverse Right Spin Forward Off Right Turn Reverse Forward Left Spin Reverse Reverse Decelerate Off Forward Left Turn Off Off Idle The two directional and propulsion motors have seven separate speed settings, ranging from V to 14 V in each direction, as well as a setting of completely off. These 15 separate speeds per motor make handling of the hovercraft much more precise than the original version.

19. Make Your Own Hovercraft Build your own hovercraft and power it with a standard shop vacuum. Demonstrate the ability of air to reduce friction by gliding students down the hall on http://groups.physics.umn.edu/pforce/hovercraft.html

XXXX Materials XXX Construction XXX Diagram Build your own hovercraft and power it with a standard shop vacuum. Demonstrate the ability of air to reduce friction by gliding students down the hall on the Human Hockey Puck. You can also demonstrate the lifting ability of compressed air, we have had as many as four students ride the craft at one time. Click here to see the Human Hockey Puck in action. Materials: 2. 6 x 6 foot square of 6 mill visqueen (heavy plastic). Obtained from hardware or lumber store. 5. 1- 1/4 inch carriage bolt 1 and 3/4 inch long and nut 6. 2 metal washers to fit the carriage bolt 7. One plastic coffee can lid (approximately 5 inches in diameter) 8. Staple gun (desk type will also work) 9. Two pieces of 3.4 wood 4" x 4" (Oak Works well). 10. Duct tape 11. One shop vac 12. Scrap wood to build a stool (optional) Construction: 1. With a saber saw, cut a disc out of each plywood sheet. The top disc should have a diameter of 48 inches. Theo other disc should be cut to a diameter of 47 inches. If the bottom disc is cut a little smaller, the overhang of the top disc will protect the rolled edge of the visqueen covering on the bottom disc when the craft is stored on its edge. 2. The bottom disc must have the edges of the plywood sanded round to protect the visqueen covering. I used a router to shape both the top and bottom edge of the plywood disc. I lightly sanded the edge to give it a smooth surface. I also routed and smoothed the edges of the top disc to prevent splintering or slivers.
