News from the F1 Hoverpod Camp
The world has become a very strange place to be in over the last few months with many natural disasters ranging from Major Snow Storms in the East of the USA through to Life Changing Floods in Australia, followed by major political upheaval in several countries within the Middle East. Wow, has anyone else noticed just how many situations have changed in such a relatively short period of time in early 2011.
This brings me nicely to the developments at F1 Hoverpod Ltd that have increased in and strengthened its Management Team and developed some new systems associated with logistics and manufacture partner relationships. I'm cleared or permitted to publish too much on this sensitive subject just now although be prepared for some major and very exciting announcements over the next few months.
Through the long Winter Months at the F1 Hoverpod group of companies, there has been lots of very positive developments in relation to technical advancement and real time testing at the F1 Hoverpod Manufacture Team. The advantage of the adverse weather gave the team a good excuse...... "er" reason to conduct some testing indoors despite the ability to take snow, ice or most weather conditions in its stride.
For those Eagle Eyed Blog Readers amongst you, you will have noted that we have teamed up with several editorial and publishing companies as well as some interesting video footage recently posted showing how helpful a Hovercraft can be when permitted to demonstrate its ability.
Our Corporate Wordpress Blog @ www.f1hoverpodracing.wordpress.com appears to be the place where most of you loyal readers leave their comments and supporting words but don't forget that we do have many others and they are all crammed with interesting items for you to read.
We do have some major breaking news just around the corner. I expect to be able to share this with you very soon and you can still follow us on www.facebook.com/f1hoverpodracing and www.twitter.com/f1hoverpod as many of you already have done and the corporate My Space is still available at www.myspace.com/f1hoverpodracing for those who enjoy sharing information In the meantime, thank you all for your support and keep the views and comments coming through.

The Latest with F1 Hoverpod Racing
The Latest Progress with F1 Hoverpod® Racing
The Team at F1 Hoverpod® Ltd prides itself on sharing the knowledge and developments surrounding the project and as we progress forward we will share this information with you. This provides you all with a clearer understanding and the emphasis demanded upon quality of product and materials used in the Hoverpod. All of this is what goes into providing a Class Beating Product and the "World's Number One Hoverpod®".
The very latest developments have taken over 3 years of research into the composite materials and testing these to their very limits. The result was a major breakthrough in the fibre weave technology of which produced some extremely surprising outcomes. The result of was a 100% all new hull structure that produced a never to have been used before fibre method that provides the Hoverpod® with a structure that will last and last for a long time to come. There is no need for any of those ugly reinforced patches as on lesser or inferior products but instead is a structure designed to stand the test of time. Its major strength is provided by the use of composite materials used and the breakthrough that has caused all the surrounding interest is the super light weight and very durable structure and as we all know, light weight is very crucial when racing craft are concerned as power to weight ratio is a major factor in developing maximum and efficient power output.
The Power Plant and Engine Technology is something of which F1 Hoverpod® Racing developed with the worlds very best. It is a re-engineered and modified twin cylinder four stroke engine. It produces the power for both lift and thrust in a most efficient way. The airflow created by the fan is directed underneath to create the lift and when the craft lifts from the ground, it then becomes part of the air flow travelling directly through the wind tunnel in order to create thrust and thus the product moves forward at very high speed. This is due in part to having very little friction as is found on conventional vehicles as there is no contact with the ground. This is what provides the Hoverpod® with so much fun as the vehicle has no contact with the earth, it is able to travel across almost any flat surface such as water, ice, mud, sand of land with no real loss in power.
In the Wind Tunnel Section, something that is very top secret at this stage but I am cleared to provide you with some basic information that will certainly excite the petrol heads amongst you all. Firstly, with cheaper and inferior products of this type, there is a substantial amount of loss in efficiency and as such a dramatic loss of power. However, F1 Hoverpod® Ltd had decided at the very early stage that they did not have the technology and skills required to make sufficient improvements to justify the research, time and effort. However, in making this decision there was a very decisive factor of influence of which was a very major factor in making the Hoverpod such a success. It was the extremely kind offer to help by Sheffield University who's Aerospace space division is sponsored by BOEING. And if there is one thing F1 Hoverpod® Racing realised at a very early stage was that these two combined was a force to be reckoned with and taken very seriously. The outcome was.................."ah". I told you that this was a secret but "Wow" is a very good phrase to use at this moment in time and all I can say is that you need to keep your eyes watching out for the blogs for some very serious excitement coming soon.

Valentines Day with F1 Hoverpod Racing
February 2011 and "All is Well". Valentines Day came and went and for most parts everyone survived. January as always appears to be 300 days long and never enough hours in the day to keep up but the good news is that progress as always keeps moving forward even through the cold winter days and nights.
In the UK, the weather has caused some disruption but only for those who look for excuses, for those with a positive outlook it mearly provides a bit of a challenge.
The design team become a little grumpy in the early part of the year due to the lack of anything to play around with although I'm told the Ex Box has a new top score which may provide some insight as to January in 2011.
F1 Hoverpod Ltd has developed much interest for the concept from both sides of the Pond and it's pleasing to see the huge interest from Argentina and Chille where the product has many features that suit the local terrain very well.
You may reall that I mentioned late into 2010 that an "All New Forum" was being built and launched in 2011, I'm pleased to announce that the forum is now in full opperation and open for new members to launch their chat freely with F1 Hoverpod Racing and can be found "Here"
We are still welcoming "Twitter" followers at our daily posting site which can be found "Here" and as is the norm today, we have the almost compulsery "Face Book" if you wish to view.
