E Skateboard With Motion Sensing


Abstract: This project presents the development of a novelair-gliding (hovering) “skateboard” (or“skim-board”) which operates based on an aerodynamic principle that distributes airflow uniformly between the board and a flat surface to providean effective air-bearing for air-gliding. Experiments were parametrically conducted to understand the aerodynamic hovering principle as well as to characterize the performance of the hovering system. We have built several prototypes of the hovering system and showed that it is possible for a board with surface area of ~1mx0.3m (weighing ~5Kg) to glide in air witha rider of ~50Kg on top of it. Besides the obvious fun application of using this hovering board as a skateboard that requires no wheels, another example of applications is to use it as an „air-skimming? board –when a rider takes a running start and jump onto the board, the board is able to glide with the rider on top of it for several meters. This „air-skimming? board concept is similar to skim-boarding on a thin-sheet of water that is popular with young adults in many parts of the world. The basic designmethodology and performance characteristics of this novel land transport system are described in this Project.The hovering principle used to lift the Hoverboard is basically the same principle presented in . Fig.1 shows the basic steps that the Hoverboard goes through before it “hovers up”. The Hoverboard is composed of a base board with an air inlet, a flexible cushion with air outlets, and a hook-upboard placed at the center of the Hoverboard. When the Hoverboard is placed on a flat ground surface and no air goes into the air inlet, the cushion is not inflated and remains as a flat
