Abstract

The purpose of this project is to design and fabricate a wall climbing prototype in order to have an in depth understanding on the mechanism and characteristics of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics. Within this report, there will be a detailed explanation on all the process involved, observations recorded, discussions on observations and conclusions that I was able to sum up. In the first chapter, a brief introduction will be done explaining on the basis of the theory used which is a reverse application of the Hovercraft theory. Along with it, there will be a part by part breakdown listing in order for us to have a better understanding on the mechanics involved. Chapter two primarily deals with all the research that was done in order to substantiate our theory. The Hovercraft theory is a very mainstream theory that is well known throughout the world; however the Reverse I--lovercraft Theory is something that is unbeknownst to anyone. That is why this prototype is essential in order to prove that the Reverse Hovercraft Theory is actually plausible. Listed down in the third chapter is the methodology used in order to conduct the research of our fabrication. It is vital to have an understanding on the characteristics of the research because this will determine the path that I will follow in the fabrication process. It is important to have a clear direction throughout the whole process in order to not stray and waste valuable time and resources.
