The bad thing about this hovercraft is that it has an extension cord running from it and it's quite small. It also is unable to run on water. However this is a great introductory craft and is great for a science fair project or just some fun!

64. Vehicles - Hovercraft And Hydrofoils - Advanced Cockerell s hovercraft was a start, but it still did not rise high enough above the water. If the waves were higher than a foot the ride was too rough for http://wings.avkids.com/Book/Vehicles/advanced/hovercraft-01.html

Hovercraft and Hydrofoils page 1 Cars, trains and airplanes had increased their speeds by 10 or 20 fold (times) by the 1930's. The commercial ships were only going twice as fast as the earler sailing ships. Why did ships lag so far behind? They had to contend (go against) with something more difficult than land or air. They had to go through water. In this unit we will learn about the differences and similarities of air and water. We will also learn what led to great improvements in speed "over" water. Air and water are both fluids. A fluid flows easily and assumes (takes on) the shape of its container. Wind and ocean, for example, move with ease and are in constant motion. If you pour milk (a liquid fluid) into a bowl, the milk takes the shape of the bowl. You cannot see air, but you can see a container, like a balloon, filling with air. The air obviously takes the shape of the balloon. One major difference between air and water is density. Density is a way of expressing how much matter is in a given amount of air or water. Water molecules (matter) are packed much more tightly together than air molecules - 815 times more! Therefore, it is much more difficult for a ship to "push" through water than for an airplane to fly through the air. Add to this the fact that the faster a ship travels, the greater the resistance. Even adding large amounts of power gives only small gains in speed. Finally, ships that ride deep in the water are effected by ocean waves that lower the comfort and safety of passengers and ship.

Seair Technologies, Inc. is proud to introduce its line of commercial hovercraft. The following page contains the Frequently Asked Questions list about our hovercraft. Some of these details are still in development, but we hope that this gives everyone a general feel for what we are building. Frequently Asked Questions about Seair Hovercraft Q: What is a Hovercraft? A: A Hovercraft is a vehicle that travels over land or water on a cushion of pressurized air. Air is forced under the hull of the craft and is contained by a tube or "skirt" of flexible material. A pocket or "plenum" of air is formed and the resulting pressure pushes the hull of the hovercraft up and away from the surface it is sitting on. Because the friction against the bottom of the craft has been greatly reduced, less energy is required to move it over the surface. This scientific principle is known as "surface effect". The air cushion also gives you smoother ride over rough surfaces. Q: How long has Seair been making hovercraft?

MSNBC TV Fruit flies: Nature’s hovercraft A new theory for how they’re able to turn so quickly By By Daniel Kane Science WASHINGTON, April 17, 2003 - On a high-tech stage surrounded by infrared video cameras grabbing 5000 frames per second, scientists record the fruit fly spin-and-hover shows performed daily at produce stands and their findings suggest that tiny changes in wing motion generate the torque required for these quick turns. This research, appearing in the April 18 issue of the journal Science published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, flies in the face of a long-held hypothesis and suggests that the inertia of the fly’s body as it turns, not friction, is the most critical factor that the aerodynamic force generated by the wings must overcome. Members of the space shuttle Columbia reconstruction team examine a piece of the left wing at a hangar at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Monday, April 14, 2003.(AP Photo/Peter Cosgrove) Scientists and engineers around the world are working to build tiny flying robots capable of the rapid flight maneuvers of flies. Such robots could be used for surveillance, search and rescue, environmental monitoring, mine detection, and planetary exploration. But when the science behind the biological model changes, what happens to the technology designed to mimic the old scientific ideas?

A hovercraft is a vehicle that blows large volumes of air under itself in order to lift off the ground and float with zero friction across any smooth, hard surface. If you think ice is slippery, wait until you try air!! Hovercrafts are famous for 360’s and fun. They also make a great science project. What's so special about FSP's hovercraft? Our hovercraft is designed to work best on land. We believe that as families, home school students, and high school science classes build the kit, it will be most convenient to use the hovercraft on surfaces like parking lots and high school running tracks (which provide a nice race track shape!). The hovercraft also works great at small municipal airports (just ask the airport manager), and the hard packed wet sand on beaches. Any smooth hard surface works great! Our kit is also easy to build

The topics of the discussion were: hovercraft dynamics, i.e., how to model hovercraft dynamics. how to design controllers (such as PID or LQR ) and estimators ( Kalman Filters , for example) for hovercraft-like vehicles. Estimation Theory . I myself am in awe and complete fascination for the area. After 46 glorious years of filtering and prediction theory, we only know a little and have to know a lot more. I would definitely enjoy more of our discussions. Why did I enjoy this discussion? Here are some reasons: Estimation Theory it confirmed my suspicion that modeling hovercraft dynamics is a real headache! I figured this out when I worked with a hovercraft-like robot during a Summer undergraduate research program, a few years ago. it confirmed my suspicion that naive Kalman filter implementations rarely work, and that more than designing a Kalman filter, the real pain starts when one has to tune it!
