1. Hair Dryer Hovercraft Team 2 Patrick Aldred Ravi Arimilli Charles Hudson Brittnee Robinson Aileen Zhao

2. Team 2 Ideas Considered Quiz Bowl Buzzer System Rejected due to lack of time Sun Oven Yeah, right Hair Dryer Hovercraft Only other viable idea that we could think of

3. Team 2 Hovercraft In Action

4. Team 2 Materials 4 Hair Dryer Motors 2 Boxes (attached with duct tape) Duct Tape & Masking Tape Foam Core Surge Protector Trash Bag

5. Team 2 How It Works The hair dryer motors blow air into the box, creating a high pressure The air is forced to exit into the trash bag The small holes on the bottom of the bag keep the air in the bag at a high pressure The air escapes to a much lower pressure outside the bag, creating a strong lift force from the air pushing off the ground

6. Team 2 PowerFeatures 60 Amperes needed 6,400 Watts supplied Easy to move around Can load a maximum weight of 10 lb

7. Team 2 Design Details Each face of the attached boxes only has to support 1 hair dryer motor, minimizing the stress on each face The motors are offset so that they will not blow into each other and work against each other
