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.

H Start Inventions The History of the Hovercraft - Christopher Cockerell Inventors Inventors Essentials 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.

That statement perfectly encodes those kitschy, iconic images we have of the future, a world in which we dress like space people from bad '50s sci-fi, and travel through elevated cities on jetpacks or in flying or hovering cars. We're still waiting for the jetpacks and skycars, but, to paraphrase sci-fi author William Gibson, "the hovercraft is already here, it's just not evenly distributed yet." And it likely never will be.

20. ECE 476 Final Project - The Raverover The Raverover is a remotecontrolled hovercraft that was built as a ECE 476 final Originally a digital-only hovercraft (the motors only had one speed http://www.global.cornell.edu/courses/ee476/FinalProjects/s2002/msj22/index.htm

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.
