Sadly...with what horrors humans are doing to other fellow humans right now in this world.. it is no surprise at all nature is also getting...
Hey, who are you calling dork here? obviously you are the dork here since you just insult people for no reason , all I wanted to discuss was an...
Yellowjacket, furthermore, the torque and rpm of an air propeller is different from a water propeller. i just cant understand how it could work in...
hav you ever seen a 5 or 8 foot air propeller touching the water in any boat or at least is there any such design that was tested. for me this...
Hi Tom, sorry , do you really mean to have a part of the prop in the water?!!!!! :confused: :) that would make a beautiful big...
tom, that is way complicated and I try to make it as simple as possible. only an ordinary airboat with the added rear ducting to duct the air...
right now the problem is, that i dont even get the slightest of "reduction of friction" beneth the hull and therfore it will hardly slide freely...
I really find it strange that this idea seems to be even worse than a standard airboat. and that is based on my rc models prototypes. I tested...
Hi, did anybody see or make such a hover-craft-airboat. The idea is simply to take an ordinary airboat and guide some air from the propeller...
aha? so are airboats made for shallow waters of 4 inches? the lakes and rivers I have here are way much deeper:D but there is never or hardly the...
I will use it in the lakes and rivers here, well,.. I wont go for the maximum speed design since I will lose other properties. but it will be a 2m...
yeah I know,, it is a realy pity everything must be a compromise:D Is 2m prop small? , the boat is going to be around 2mx4 and yeah the...
the forfoot of all boats posted are "inclined" at a certain angle. Furthermore the forfoot view from above is tapered at some certain degree....
here are som pics of jet boat, ski boat, and bayliner, ..they all are planning hull designs but dont look "flat" like the "airboat hulls"...
aha ok, than it makes sense:), but still there are many water prop jet, ski boats that have a deep "vee" and look like displacement hulls,..hmmm...
Steve, I appreciate your effort alot! so if I understand correctly, a planning hull with a water propeller should be most efficient and ride...
wowo, so the human powered boat is as fast as a 13 hp!!, I think that the human powered is ultra efficient (1hp) because of using a hydrofoil....
thank you for the information my plan was to to get the boat as light as possible, and it will be designed to l take one man only. so how much...
Hi everyone, I am relatively new to all this. me and my brother are about to build an airboat with a 13hp(not much, I know). as I understand, the...
