Hovercraft

During the second quarter of the AP Physic 1, class year

of 2015-2016, we had divided ourselves into groups of two
people. We had only eight people in the class and this is the
best way we can divide our self to make a competitive model of
the hovercraft. My group member was Maythavee, we had done
a great job together on this project. And I think our project is
the best.
I had interviewed Maythavee my group member for her great
answer.

Q1. What are the concepts behind this

project?

Maythavee Rujiragonsagul
Q2. How long did you take to finish this
amazing hovercraft?

We had been designing the hovercraft for 1

week. We took about 2 days to find the
material needed for this hovercraft to float.
And we took another full three days to
complete the assembly and the testing. It
didnt cause us problem so we had made this
hovercraft for 12 days.

In this project we want to

demonstrate the difference of
frictionless surface.
Air pressure exerting to make the
hovercraft float.

Q3. How did you feel after you are

done the hovercraft?

It was a fun experience to make this

project. I did not learn only about
friction but also learn about electricity
because my hovercraft uses 9V which
the fan of the hovercraft needed
about 12V of electricity. So I had
made a parallel circuit.
