Hoverboard

ABSTRACT

The project aim of hoverboard to reduce pollution from cars and gasoline and make transportation more fun. We
plan to do this by making all new means of travel. The hoverboard will reduce the amount of cars sold and the
amount of gasoline used and put into the air. So we planned to make hover board cart. Hoverboard which runs
using the power of motors which are connected to each wheel of the hover board. Motors are getting power from
the battery used in the hover board. An Electric DC motor is a machine which converts electric energy into
mechanical energy. The working of DC motor is based on the principle that when a current-carrying conductor is
placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force. The Electric motors give the necessary torque to the
wheels and then it is controlled with the help of switches. As the whole idea of hover board cart is based on the
people related to disabilities, the switches used at the hand positions so that anyone can able to navigate the
vehicle easily

CHAPTER1
INTRODUCTION

Hover boards or self-balancing scooters is a personalized transport. It consists of two motorized wheels that are
connected to a pair of articulated pads on which the rider places their feet. In fact, the rider can control the speed
of the hover board by leaning forward or backward and change the direction by twisting the pads. Hover boards
or Self Balancing Scooters had invented in the year 2013.However, after its invention, the device has become a
subject issue for the patent rights. More, the manufacturing had started in China. In the year 2014, early units
caught fire because of overheating the battery. Along with that in 2016, companies of China and USA producing
Hover boards have to recall their 50,000 products.

Invention -
59- year-old Shane Chan has invented the hoverboard. He grew in China, and then went to USA in 1986. Now,
based in Washington before setting up his own business of hoverboards, he worked as an scientific instrument
designer until 2011. However, he began his new career in hoverboards. In the early innings of his career, he has
designed Hovertrax. Now, he is working on his versions of hoverboards. In fact, his inventions have
commercialized by other companies. Further, you can see that improved and copied versions of hoverboards
available in the market. In the couple of years, we can see hoverboards are flooding in the market. Celebrities
post their pictures with their hoverboards on the social media platform.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE REVIEW

In 2013, first Hoverboard or self-balancing scooters had founded by American businessperson Shane Chan. In
May 2013, he had launched kick-starter fund raising campaign. Chinese company Chi Robotics had to know
about the hoverboard by a weird article “Smart S1” suggested by David Pierce. Earlier Hoverboard called Hover
trax. Chic Robotics, Chinese company released its first Hoverboard “Smart S1” in August 2014 in Canton Fair
Trade Show. In short period of time, this device got huge popularity in the western countries. Initially, many
popular celebs like Justin Bieber, Jamie Foxx, Chris Brown, and Kendall Jenner endorsed Hoverboard (Self-
balancing scooters). By 2015, Shenzhen region of China had become the place of manufacturing Hoverboards.
Apart from that popularity of the Hoverboards, there were several issues raised in China by Chen regarding the
patent rights in China. After that, Mark Cuben had announced to take the Hoverboards patents from Chen. It was
because of the defects in the products manufactured by the Chen Company. However, the issues were constantly
rising. Again, in 2016, US International Trade Commission had issued patent infringement against UPTECH,
U.P Technology, U.P Robotics, Free Go China and Eco Boomer but settled with segway.

The flow chart starts with the introduction. Here, the introduction is first plan to start the
project. The supervisor request for understanding of the project and make some research about the
project title. Student makes project synopsis, objective, and scope of work, problem statement and
planning.
Once the introduction is done, the supervisor request for the understanding of theproject.
Thus, literature review on the title is done thoroughly covering all the aspect of the project.The
medium for this research is via internet and books. Essential information related to the projectis
gathered for referencing. In concept ualization,f ew design sared one using the sketching which is
then saved to be reviewed. Sketch four concepts suitable for the project with a 3-dimensional and
understanding. The sketching is first step for designer used of the time. After four designs sketched
design considerations have been made and one design have been chosen. The selected design
sketched is then transfer to solid modeling and drawing using solid work application. Software
issued because it gives a better dimension of air bike compared to manual draw and is much easier
touse.
However, the drawing using software is just guideline to be followed to improve the
Mechanical sickle after draw is done, the project proceeds to next step that is fabrication process. The
finished drawing and sketching is used as a reference by following the measurement and the type of
material needed. The fabrication process that involved is cutting, welding, drilling, ant theater every
process was finish, the parts are check to make sure that the output of the process obeys the product
requirement.
If all the parts had been processed, the parts are joined together to make here come the
analysis processes. During the testing, if problem occurs aches fan doesn’t work insufficient, bike
will step back for fixing of the problem. Their bike frame is finished by doing some finishing
process such as grinding and spraying. A fetal parts had been joined to gether and analysis, the last
phase of process that is result and discussion. Inresult and discussion, the draf treport and the en
tirerelated article are gathered and hand over to the superv is or for error checking.For the
conclusion, the finish product will be compare with the report to make sure that there is no mistake
on both project and report. After the product and report had been approve by the supervisor, there

CHAPTER 6
WORKING PRINCIPLE OF HOVERBOARD

 Self-balancing boards have frames that pivot in the center. The electric motors and sensors that detect
speed and tilt angle are actually inside of each wheel.

 The gyroscopes receive the data from the tilt sensors in the wheels and relay it to the logic board, keeping
the board upright at all times.

 There are switches under each foot pad that trigger an infrared LED light, which triggers a sensor.

 The light remains on when the rider keeps their feet flat, letting the logic board know not to run the motors.

 When the rider leans forward, the switch turns off the LED light, then the sensor lets the logic board know
to spin those wheels.

 Since the motors are independent of one another, a rider can actually do circles in place.

CHAPTER 7

COMPONENTS

1. Gyroscope-

Hoverboards are built in such a way that each of the wheels has its own Gyroscope, Tilt and speed sensor. They
are generally placed below the frame where rider places the feet. Once the rider places the feet on the board,
Gyroscope provides data to the logic board when the rider tilts ahead or backward

2. Motor

A DC motor is any motor within a class of electrical machines whereby direct current electrical power is
converted into mechanical power. Most often, this type of motor relies on forces that magnetic fields produce A
12v DC
motor is small and inexpensive, yet powerful enough to be used for many applications.

3. Battery :- A lithium-ion battery or Li-ion battery is a type of rechargeable battery. Lithium-ion batteries are
commonly used for portable electronics and electric vehicles and are growing in popularity for military and
aerospace applications

4. Wheel -

Self-balancing boards have frames that pivot in the center. The electric motors and sensors that detect speed and
tilt angle are actually inside of each wheel. The gyroscopes receive the data from the tilt sensors in the wheels
and relay it to the logic board, keeping the board upright at all times.

5. Wooden plywood:

Take the sheets of wooden ply, Convert this ply into the size of 45cm x 20cm with the help of Hacksaw Cutter.
Note that wooden ply must be Light in Weight and carry rider weight without Breaking.

CHAPTER 8
TOOLS

1. Power saws :-

One of the major advantage of these power saws is it allows a significant amount of wood to be cut in a short
period of time. Power saws are also referred as electric saws as they usually consist of a rechargeable battery.
Compared to the hand saws, they are a lot faster and do not require much man power. As a reason for which,
these are popular in wood cutting tools. To allow it to make rip cuts, crosscuts and miter cuts, the circular saw
can be fitted with different types of blades. Just like hand saws, a variety of power saws are available to do
different kinds of jobs.

2. Hand saws :-

These are the basic and traditional tools in wood cutting and are made by every other metal cutting tools
manufacturer. These hand saws serve many purposes and are available in a great variety. Consisting of iron, steel
or other types of metal blades with teeth, hand saws require man power.

3. Steel file Tool

A file is a tool used to remove fine amounts of material from a workpiece. It is common in woodworking,
metalworking, and other similar trade and hobby tasks. Most are hand tools, made of a case hardened steel bar of
rectangular, square, triangular, or round cross-section, with one or more surfaces cut with sharp, generally
parallel teeth

4. Measuring tape

A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible ruler used to measure size or distance. It consists of a ribbon of
cloth, plastic, fibre glass, or metal strip with linear-measurement markings. It is a common measuring tool

FUTURE SCOPE

Ever since Marty McFly saved the day with his hoverboard in Back to the Future, it's probably
been a dream of yours to ride one. Well, the hoverboard of that future isn't here yet, but as your kids
have probably mentioned, hoverboards are here! This combination of a Segway and a skateboard is
called a hoverboard and it's become a hot item for kids across the country. Since there's such a focus
on children and exercise these days, you may be wondering if the hoverboard actually counts as
exercise. There are certainly more than a couple of health benefits of hoverboards -- here's why you
should let your child talk you into considering their hoverboard time exercise!

CHAPTER 14
CONCLUSION

Most of the fractures associated with hoverboard use are com-manly seen in everyday pediatric radiology
practice, with an overall pattern paralleling that reported in association with skateboard use. However, an
otherwise uncommon fracture, the distal phalanx juxta-epiphyseal fracture, was identified in association with
hoverboard use, and this finding has important treatment implications including need for irrigation and
debridement, antibiotic therapy and potential surgical fixation.
