    Dynamic & Static propeller pressure

    Yeah spot on, I'm asking these questions with the hovercraft in mind :smile: (Still RC for now) I'm trying to work my way through the engineering part, but its hard to find any good info on the internet. It seems like most hovercraft builders are doing this trial and error, or by copying...

    Dynamic & Static propeller pressure

    Hey, I have this theory about static and dynamic pressure generated by a propeller, but I might be wrong, so I could use some comments on this. Its kinda long and whiney, but well.. here goes; Lets say I have a motor with propeller, spinning at a certain rpm. -In the first scenario, I put the...

    From theoretical airflow speed of rotating propeller to a realistic value?

    Hey, Yet another propeller question on this board. I have done my research, both here & on google, but I cannot seem to find an answer. Lets say I have a motor on which I mount a propeller. This motor is static (not moving like on a flying airplane), so say its a small ventilator...

    Which Laptop is Better for University: Latitude D630 or MacBook Pro 15?

    I'd say the Macbook Pro 2.4, but this may not be objective. I bought one myself, and I can say you won't regret it. Very fast, and top graphics card. A PC IT magazine ('computable') recently tested and compared 25 windows laptops. They concluded that the Apple Macbook Pro 15" with XP was the...

    Best Laptop for Engineering: Compatibility Concerns for Mac OS Users

    I'm an engineering student too, and I highly recommend buying an Intel mac. I got myself a macbook pro a few weeks ago, installed XP (bootcamp) on it, and its perfect. Its pricey but for a laptop its extremely fast, it runs Inventor, and Solidworks faster than any other computer I've used it...
