Abstract

This article leads about the issue experimental verification of the thrust model blowers. In the framework of article were used the results of the Diploma thesis, which deals with design of mobile robot based on hovercraft [1]. In the first part of the article is described the first method testing of the maximum thrust of blower via deformation of the spring and second part is analyzed the second method testing via wood beam in the shape letter L. The main aim this article is to compare thrust indicated by the manufacturer with thrust experimental verified.

Keywords:
blower spring wood beam microcontroller thrust
