      DJ BIS 🔴 What Is Islam? ⚠️
      🔴 Islam is not just another religion.
      🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham.
      🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God.
      🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone.
      🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine.
      🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as:
      📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4)[4] 📚
      🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus.
      🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him.

    @banditulnoptii 9 ปีที่แล้ว +100

    I'd try to exploit 2 things:
    1. the quality of the forward swept wings to not drop a tip at stall.
    2. the "box effect" of sponsoons placed at wing tips, that prevents the air to escape laterally over the wing tip, from underneath to the top of the wings due to the pressure difference. Preventing that pressure loss greatly enhances the efficiency of the air cushion trapped between the ground and the wing.
    You need your vehicle to be penalised, by stalling, every time it wants to gain height. So you give it just enough throttle to sustain lift in ground effect, and when it tries to rise, it will stall immediately. But only the roots of the wings will stall (because they're swept forward), and the tips not, thus keeping the wings level. It will not drop a tip, it will not touch ground (or water). The nose will gently bob down, and the vehicle will lay on its cushion of air again. Basically, there are two negative feedback processes at play: when it tries to rise, is penalised by stalling, and when it tries to land, is penalised by the sudden increase in the air cushion's efficiency.

    • @TekAutomatica
      @TekAutomatica 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Its the way the centre of pressure moves as the wing leaves ground effect - not quite the same as a wing stalling in freestream air.

  • @JWSmythe
    @JWSmythe 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've been wanting to make one for a while. From previous reading, there are a couple things you can do to improvement performance.
    First, the ground effect height is directly related to wingspan. Making a wider wingspan will increase the ground effect altitude.
    Also, the wing tip height in relation to the body make a significant difference. The tips lower the effective overall height. Look at the Boeing Pelican, Caspian Sea Monster (Ekranoplan), and Flarecraft. Their wingtip pontoons weren't only for floation, they were to increase the height of the effective ground effect height.
    To operate best, you should design for an altitude where the body/fuselage is as high as possible, while still in ground effect. For this kind of application, aim for keeping everything off the snow, ground, or water. If you need a 20 degree roll for turning, make sure that won't put the wingtip into the ground.
    Look at the "Flarecraft". Their pontoons are inboard about half way, and low. When turning, the entire outboard part of that wing is parallel to the ground, again creating ground effect lift.
    If you were feeling *really* ambitious, you could actuate those outboard wing segments, keeping them at the same angle relative to the ground, regardless of the aircraft's attitude. Look at the XB-70 Valkyrie, specifically the articulating wingtips. It was doing the same thing, but riding the supersonic shock wave.
    There is a ton of exploring that can be done with that. I'm honestly surprised that we don't have more ground effect vehicles, considering how much is saved while operating them. They don't need a robust buoyant fuselage, full size airplane wings, nor anywhere near the same required thrust.

It was a fully built nitro aircraft (No electric then) that had a t-tail with two booms, similar stubby fat wings with 'wing tip scoops'. I even entered it into the science fair then. lol. Wish I could find pictures and video of it.
    Your craft reminds me of a model I had years later... maybe 2005. Which was a RC 'boat' that looked like a hydrofoil, but was just a foamy with lots of power. It flew like a box, but was fun... very fragile! It was kinda like that 'Airship F4'

    Great vid, my favourite bit was the completely oblivious ducks. Well done.

    Came for the vehicle, stayed for the eager doggie! So adorable to see such pure joy.

    On the bigger crafts, I have seen they bend the wings inward, trapping more air and giving it more stability when close to surface

    Super cool
    Simple made, strong and really efficient
    I really love it, this device makes me thinking about different flying cars designed...
    This also makes me think about the hovercraft
    So I've got an idea for you
    If you add a hole on the center wing the air produces by the propeller screw will be able to push the device over the water probably easier
    So try with 2 central wings, like on old planes
    The first central one doesn't change
    Add a shorter one, exactly parallel, under the central and between the ski
    With the air flow, this will create a compression point behind
    In cases of low altitude, i think it will help your device

    Great video... cool aerodynamics right there.

    That was very interesting and very well filmed, it was the same quality as any documentary I have seen. The area where you filmed looks to be a nice place too. Good luck with any further experiments, and thanks you for that

    There must be an unimaginable frustration trying to get this to work in public and everyone watching it like wow that’s cool and you knowing it’s not even half way there

  • @WhiteKestrell

    Wow! I have never seen it shown like that! Planes usually flare themselves slightly on landing too (What pilots call ground effect)
    I have heard of super long range airplane/boat that might be using this soon. It's not fast but very efficient. Much needed technology if you ask me.

    I really wish that there were more RC GEV videos around, because I really like the concept, but no one has seemed to have experimented with it except you and a few others.

    Really nice video. Would coating the stick hydrofoils with hydrophobic paint decrease the drag from the water?

    Awesome video I came here from a skirtless hovercraft video and guess what I learnt something new and interesting today. All my rc stuff are cars. This video certainly tickles my curiosity on the concept 👍👌👏💡🤓
    Thank you

    dude the stuff you make is awesome... I used to want to be an aerospace engineer. I used to have a wind-tunnel at school that we could put models into and I came up with a "perfect" airplane/glider I just called it the X wing and well I made it out of balsa wood and some jack#### stepped on it on purpose while we were testing it lol
