Hello again, I'm been working a lot lately so I have not had the chance to play so much with LEGO. But I've got one step further with my hoovercraft project. Have built a fourth version of the body. Pictures will come later. But I've also played around with pixel's (paul kleniewski) idea for an fan/propeller for the hoovercraft. Pixels orginal idea can be found at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=306231 My variation on his designs looks like this, made it a bit lighter and fewer bricks: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Phoenix/Hoovercraft/pixel-fan1.jpg (4 blades) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Phoenix/Hoovercraft/pixel-fan2.jpg (8 blades) This is my own propeller design: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Phoenix/Hoovercraft/propell.jpg after moderation: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=33473 Now I'm looking forward to spend some more time on the new body for the hoovercraft, I have lift but somehow I got less lift when I put the fan further up in the wind tunnel with my propeller. I've got best result if the fan is just at the lower end at the tunnel. Have to find a better form on the skirt on the hoovercraft.

(...) Would 1 x 8 tiles work instead of the 2 x 8 plates for wings? (URL) should make less resistance in the air, causing less turbulence etc. Just a thought! Best regards, /Tobbe (URL) SPAM when e-mailing) (22 years ago, 17-Mar-03, to lugnet.technic)
