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.
