Hovercraft for School, Colleges and Universities Purpose.

The Educational Hovercraft Demonstration System is designed to demonstrate the principles of frictionless motion, kinematics, and force. It features a durable 1.2 m wooden platform fitted with a reinforced nylon skirt that creates an air cushion beneath the platform, allowing students to ride and experience low-friction motion firsthand.

The hovercraft is supplied fully assembled and includes a built-in level to help students distribute their weight evenly during experiments. It can support a maximum load of 300 lbs.

Designed and manufactured by Atico Export to meet the practical requirements of modern physics laboratories and educational training facilities.

Working principle :

The nylon skirt is stretched around the wooden platform and secured with a steel wire. Its centre is attached to the underside of the platform, while a custom rubber bumper is fitted around the circumference to hold the skirt securely and provide edge protection.

A high-volume air source supplies air through the platform into the skirt. When a student sits on the platform and the air source is activated, the skirt inflates. Small holes in the skirt allow air to escape while maintaining sufficient pressure to lift the platform and rider, creating an air cushion that significantly reduces friction with the supporting surface.

The built-in level helps students maintain balanced weight distribution during the demonstration.
