12A Powered Hovercraft
Recently a customer brought us in a 12A powered hovercraft for rebuild. The engine had seized. It is now rebuilt and will be reinstalled in the next week or so. After he breaks in the engine we should be able to get some video of it running on one of the local lakes. I figured I would share a few pics, and here is a link to the rebuild http://www.banzai-racing.com/2011_cu..._breakdown.htm

This has a full muffler system that exits the rear of the craft, you can hardly hear when it is running.

that's good, i actually very much dislike a straight piped rotary.. it just sounds horrible. at least up until about 6k+ RPMs and standing about a mile away. :lol:
|
wow that is nice..
is there a transmission of any sort or is it motor to fan.. |
Motor is directly bolted to the the belt drive for the fan.
|
Pretty damn cool!
|
thats awesome
