HB-MKVI In devlopment, need suggestions
ok, so im at it again im going to disasemble the MKV verson of my hoverbot and begin construction of a new one
ihis will be another of a long line of attempts to build a practical hoverbot the concept is simple i make a hovercraft platform and then use things from the edu-bot kit Woops, I mean Robovation kit to moblise it here are the materials i have used before... Glad bag Coffiecan lid fisher price motor toy helicopter rotor aluminum sheet metal fan blades Victor 883 Isaac16 hirec deluxe servomotor 4 and 11/16" muffan fans 24"x24" plastic sign material duct tape steel nuts and bolts k-nex 14.4 Volt Drill batery i now have 6 muffinfans avalable a sisable sheet of 3/64" aluminum sheet metal. if you search this site you can find older versons of my hoverbots Most Bearing designations MK-I through MK-V i would like sugestions and new ideas of building my new machine so far all models have been able to create a sufficent air cussion to support their weight almost frictionlessly on... Calm Water smooth concrete wood floors linolium floors and some other flat surfaces they have however not been capable of creating a sufficent air cussion on the following Asfault roughj concrete carpet sod dirt sand slightley rough seas (Disaster) my propler has also always been insufficent in utalising the power of the fisher price motor my problem has been giving the blades witch are made of aluminum sheet metal enough surface area without making the diameter too big so that the motor must be moubted high, witch causes a sort of tourking action with the thrust its like pushing a box across a floor from the top compared to pushing from the center or bottom, it tips over, in the cace of a hoerbot, drives the front section of the skirt into the ground well, i await your suggestions and opinions, espeocaly if anyone has expierence in hovercraft or propler desing |
