Nighttime Running Hovercraft using Ridgid LED lights Universal Hovercraft 2012-02-16 | LED lights are fast replacing conventional lighting in the marine industry. LED lighting is vastly more energy efficient than conventional marine lights. The amount of heat energy wasted is close to none, and the overall energy consumed is much less. As a result, battery powered LED lights last much longer than incandescent bulbs, once they are charged. LED lights, that depend on a vessels electrical system, also use much less power. LED lights are significantly brighter than traditional bulbs. Among Marine LED's many advantages, heat production has reached an industry low, compared to conventional marine lighting. Consequently, the risk of burn injuries is virtually erased. Marine lights do not emit UV rays as well, so there is no risk of the paint on the vessel getting damaged. These are not the only reasons why LEDs are fast replacing incandescent bulbs. One other major factor is durability. LED lights are much hardier and they withstand impact and vibration like a charm, compared to regular lamps. This is a crucial advantage in the waters and ensures a longer life-span of your entire lighting system. Get More for less by Going GREEN! Decrease your expenses and reduce your power consumption. Light is measured in Lumens per watt. How much light is produced for every watt of electricity used? Simply put, Rigid LED Lights eliminate the need for generators and reduce the drain on your battery compared to tradition lighting. LED Lifetime - 50,000+ hours (yes thats correct 50,000+ hours!) LEDs are solid state devices with no moving parts. LED Lights are able to withstand shock and vibration better than traditional Halogen, HID and Xenon lights. The expanded life of the LED means that they'll last for over 50,000 hour compared to Halogen and Xenon lights which typically last up to 1,000 and 5,000 hours respectively.

Universal Hovercraft - UH-13PT Twin Trainer Hovercraft - Plans & Kits available Universal Hovercraft 2010-01-25 | The UH-13PT twin trainer is our simplest 2-passenger hovercraft featuring direct drive engines for simplicity and a virtually unsinkable foam core hull. The UH-13PT hovercraft makes an excellent father/son, high school or university learning project. The 13PT is perfect for beginners with little building experience and veterans looking to add a fun machine to their collection. Builders will learn composites, mechanics, aerodynamics, fiberglass and wood working. No welding required. This is a twin engine hovercraft; it uses a 10 to 15 hp (Tecumseh, Briggs, Kohler, Honda or Robin) horizontal shaft thrust engine to turn a 36 inch 2-blade propeller and a 5 to 7 hp vertical shaft lift engine turning a 24 inch 4-blade lift fan. Both engines are direct drive. The pointed design produces less planing drag and less high speed drag than a craft of equal size with a square front end. This translates into a higher payload capacity, low-power cruising, and a higher top speed. A single joystick controls two flexible rudders and thrust engine throttle. Lift throttle is mounted on the dashboard. An entry level racing class has been formed for beginner to intermediate competitors by the Hoverclub of America. This class is based around the 13PT design. 15 hp is the maximum allowed horsepower (lift engine + thrust engine).
Universal Hovercraft - UH-13P Sportsman Hovercraft - Plans & Kits available Universal Hovercraft 2010-01-25 | The UH-13P Sportsman one of the best performing 2 passenger hover craft we have to offer. Its constructed of foam & plywood making a composite structure which is easy to build and is unsinkable. A single vertical shaft lawnmower engine powers both the thrust propeller and lift fan and enabling the craft to achieve a top speed of 55 mph quietly and efficiently. The 13P also meets the World Hovercraft Federation and Hoverclub of America Formula 25 racing requirements. See Hoverclub of America for more information. A single engine powers both he thrust propeller and lift fan through a belt drive system. The belt drive allows us to use a reduction drive system to turn the blades. Reducing the rpm of the propeller and fan through a reduction drive lowers blade tip speed enabling extremely quiet operation. The 13P is one of the quietest hovercrafts available today. In addition to being quiet, the single engine design makes operating the craft easy. Just squeeze the throttle and off you go. We have engineered the drive system to supply the correct amount of power to both the lift fan and thrust propeller at every throttle setting.

Universal Hovercraft TW-1 Tandem Wing Hovercraft, Hoverwing, ground effect, WISE, WIG, SEV Universal Hovercraft 2009-12-04 | Fight characteristics: Advancing the throttle above 2,000 RPM with bring the craft up on cushion and begin a slow acceleration. This rpm is used to depart the landing zone. Advancing the throttle to full (3,600 rpm) will rapidly accelerate the craft. On a calm day the craft will achieve 50+ mph in just 6 seconds or 350 feet. After the craft is airborne it flies similarly to a small airplane. Moving the joystick left causes a slight bank and shallow turn. Because the craft is not fitted with ailerons it skids thru the turns much like a hovercraft. At cruise speed (45 to 50 mph) the craft rides very smooth. You can pass over waves without feeling any effect. Scale modeling: Nearly 25 scale models were constructed before the first tandem wing craft assembly began. This is the way we test most of our craft. It is much easier to make corrections in a styrofoam model than in a full size prototype. We tested wing angles, surface areas, 2,3 and 4 wing models, propeller angle, single propeller and dual propeller, weight and balance issues, control combinations and many different wing tip styles. Terrain capability: Most people are surprised to see this craft drive from the water to the land much like a typical hovercraft. This was a very important consideration while developing the craft. It had to be self launching (land to water) and able to transition under its own power from the water back up onto the land. This is made easy by the positioning of the propellers. They are slanted back at a 20 degree angle to help air flow directly under with wings. With only a slight advancement of the throttle this craft comes up on cushion. Construction: The craft is half old school and half new school. The body is made from a wood rib and stringer combination with most of the strength coming from the skins. Wings are made of a sandwich foam/fiberglass construction. The bottom trailing edges of the wings are laminated with 1/8 inch plywood to prevent excessive wear from waves slapping the surface. Future development: These types of craft have been under development by Universal Hovercraft for nearly 15 years now. In the future we plan to increase the horsepower of our current prototype from 35 to 45. We may also reconfigure the drive system to include a rear mounted thrust propeller. Further into the future we plan to build larger versions of the Tandem Wing capable of flying 4 passengers over rough water. Plans are currently not available for this craft. We may offer plans in the future although we have not set a date for release. It is our goal to further develop this craft into a better performing, easy to control and safe ground effect vehicle. Periodically we will update this section of the web site with new tandem wing information. Universal Hovercrafts research and development budget is directly dependant on sales being made to our customers. No outside funding such as government grants or loans have been used to develop these projects. We greatly appreciate our loyal customer base, new customers and future customers. Without you none of this is possible. Thank you for choosing Universal Hovercraft as your hovercraft supplier.
