"Race Across the Hallway"
Hovercraft
Challenge
KELVIN®’s updated model of the Hovercraft has the ability
of hovering over land and water. This innovative hovercraft is
designed with an external power source that allows the hovercraft
to run 50% faster for a longer time. Now you can design a hovercraft
that not only lifts and travels from one point of the room to
another but can also float in a pool and glide across tile. Both
the Basic and Competition 2009 Hovercraft Design Challenges™ are
great construction projects that demonstrate
lift.
This kit includes: two types of motors, foam trays, two propellers
(one for lift and one for propulsion forward), 9V battery snap,
slide switch, wire, dowel rods, craft sticks and clips. Also optional,
not included, wired remote battery pack with On/Off switch and
10ft wire.
Kits require designing, soldering, assembly and evaluation skills.
Also requires 9 V battery or remote battery pack (#851510). Grades
6 & up.
