DIY Snow Air Sled

Well since winter is upon us and I cant fly the ultralight right now, I'd figure i'd put those giant hobbyking motors to work elsewhere! So we bolted the giant electric motors to one of those kids snow sleds and ran down the street in it!

[@hed420]

You should put a pair of skies on the sides with a suspension . Interested to see if it would go faster since there's less ground contact .

[@tissuepaper9962]

Surface area doesn't really matter for friction. What would matter is that friction between well waxed skis and snow is way less than between a shitty sled and snow.

[@thuswaldner1]

@@tissuepaper9962 You may be right but if so, why do catamarans (with dual hulls and less combined water contact area) always beat regular sailboats in a race?

[@tissuepaper9962]

@@thuswaldner1 Hydrodynamic drag isn't the same as friction. It's much more complicated to model, and pretty much completely incomparable. Anyway, catamarans are faster because they're lighter, they're more stable, they have a wider base, which translates to more efficient use of the energy provided by the wind for several reasons. There are a multitude of reasons why catamarans are generally faster than traditional hulls.

[@crispymemes9114]

Make the bottom heated, it will slide alot bettet as it melts the snow faster than the friction from the sleds base itself

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

Could just run salt water on it lol

[@rustedratchetgarage6788]

friction will heat it enough

[@captainzoll3303]

plus it doubles as a seat warmer

[@GrimRepair]

Melting snow has always seemed slower to me

[@thebamnation6499]

Grim Repair when gliding over snow on either a sled or skis or snowboard more hardpacked snow or stiff snow is always better because there’s less friction which makes the sliding better

[@TheRealLifeGuys]

That's an awesome air sled! :D Nice to see that we have the same ideas - we did the exactly same thing last weekend but used our bathtub sled of course :D

As far as the sled goes... Stiffer sled and outriggers should help. Your projects are a hoot.

That's really amazing. Cool build!

[@mauerjax]

Great build!

[@freddotu]

You have the greatest constructions ever, Peter. Have you considered a "vehicle" known as a Ground Effect Vehicle? It's effectively a boat with wings that are insufficient to lift it out of ground effect, yet powerful enough to get it clear of the water. Some designs include a hovercraft type skirt to break the friction on the water, allowing for quicker lift-off. The US Coast Guard considers it a boat, while the FAA considers it a boat, because if properly designed, it cannot climb out of ground effect. There are some huge Soviet examples on the 'net but the hobbyist size is more interesting.

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

His first ultra-light flights were done using that.

[@freddotu]

The GEV types can't climb out of ground effect, though, by design, even with more power, unlike Peter's great builds thus far.

[@nfsstarman374]

Fred U. FliteTest did that with a rc plane/boat

[@freddotu]

I remember that episode, but I'd like to see Peter scale it up to human bean sized, but not as large as the Soviet cargo transporters.

[@stevefink6000]
