About the project

An automobile as we all know is an integral part of mankind’s day to day needs. Automobile technology as penetrated into different categories like emergency like transporting a patient in the ambulance or a war weapon to the war field, sports racing, the business application like transportation of goods, transportation of meetings and the list goes on.

Coming to the technical analysis, we all are very well aware of the fact that the loses what we face with the automobile as in mileage, in power etc and in forms like friction loss, heat loss etc. One of the factors which are essential to keep the automobile on track is friction between the wheel and ground but the same frictions cause losses and constraints the speed of the vehicle.

Engineers have designed a new technology where the friction can be eliminated. As we all know that if we actually reduce contact between two surfaces, friction can be eliminated and bring a fluid at surface contact. The answer is a Hover Car.

Hovercar is a new means of transportation. It uses a cushion of between the surfaces to reduce the friction. It uses electrical and magnetic energy to float on a cushion of air creating two basic forces. One which lifts the vehicle from the ground and the other which moves the vehicle forward.

There are different design considerations which are to be considered while designing the vehicle. These parameters are Performance of the vehicle, Maintenance of the Vehicle, Manufacturing of the Vehicle, Cost of the Vehicle where performance and cost get higher priority. Performance-based on lifting the weight of the vehicle and moving the weight forward. Cost of materials, manufacturing, ease of availability etc.

It uses the principle of electromagnetic propulsion where the electrical current and magnetic field are utilized to accelerate an object. The electrical energy in the coil of electromagnetic propulsion is converted into potential and kinetic energy through direct energy conversion resulting in higher efficiencies.
