Umndilili wabaqhubi beemoto bonelisekile kukusuka kwindawo A ukuya kwindawo B kwisiqwenga esinye. Abanye abaqhubi - abo basukela i-adrenaline rush okanye banomnqweno wokufa - bafuna ukuhamba ngokukhawuleza. Yiyo loo nto umdyarho ibiyinto iminyaka kwaye kutheni iinkampani ezithile zeemoto zichitha iitoni zemali ukufumana isantya esithe kratya kwizithuthi zabo.
Intsimi enye ezi nkampani zemoto zityala kuyo yi-aerodynamics-okanye indlela izinto ezihamba ngayo emoyeni. Ngokulungisa imilo kunye nokuqhelaniswa kweendawo ezithile, unokufumana imoto ekhawulezayo.
Umgaqo ofanayo usebenza kwiimoto zokudlala, nangona kumlinganiselo omncinci. UJames Whomsley we ProjectAir udale izixhobo ezimbalwa ze-aero ze-aero kwaye wazincamathela kwimoto yakhe ye-RC kwiinzame zokuyenza ihambe ngokukhawuleza. Ngaphambi kokuba enze loo nto, kwakufuneka aqale abone ukuba imoto yakhe iza kusebenza njani ngaphandle kwanto encamathele kuyo.
I-barebones chassis yakhe yajika ikona yesitrato amaxesha alishumi kunye nexesha eliqhelekileyo le-3.91 imizuzwana. Ngelixa oku kunokubonakala kukhawuleza, imoto ibitsala nzima ukuba ijike kwaye ihlale kwindlela ngenxa yokunqongophala kwe-aerodynamic grip. Oku kuthetha ukuba phantse akukho xinzelelo lomoya oluncede ukugcina imoto iphantsi ngelixa ijika ikona.
UJames waqala ukusebenza kwizixhobo zakhe ze-aero kunye novavanyo olusisiseko ukuze asebenze.
UJames wenza isigqubuthelo se-chassis kunye neepaneli zecala zamaphiko usebenzisa iipaneli zebhodi ye-foam. Wabeka amaphiko amabini amakhulu kwimoto - elinye ngaphambili kunye nelinye ngasemva. Amaphiko kunye neenkxaso zabo zenziwe nge-aluminium eqinile ukutyhala inani elikhulu loxinzelelo lomoya phezulu - ngaloo ndlela igcina imoto yeRC phantsi kwendlela.
Ukubuyela kumzila kunye neprototype yakhe yokuqala, uJames wafumanisa ukuba ukuguqulwa kwakhe kubangele ixesha elikhawulezayo lokugijima le-3.21 imizuzwana, kodwa ubukhulu bephiko langaphambili abuzange buvumele nawuphi na umoya ukuba udlulele kwiphiko elingasemva.
Ukuhlawula oku, wenza elinye iphiko langaphambili elimalunga nesiqingatha sobukhulu belokuqala. Kwakhona wancamathelisa kwezinye iziketi emacaleni asezantsi emoto yeRC. Ezi ziya kwenza ivacuum eya kuthi ivalele umoya ngaphantsi kwesithuthi, ibangele ukuba i-chassis ihlale imiliselwe endleleni. UJames naye waphakamisa umva wemoto, ngethemba lokuvumela umoya ongcono ukusuka ngaphambili ukuya ngasemva.
Esikhundleni sokubuyela kwikona yesitrato esinye okwesithathu, uYakobi wacinga ukuba kuya kuba ngcono ukuzisa i-prototype yakhe yesibini kwindawo evulekileyo yokuvavanya amandla ayo aphezulu.
Ngelixa uhlengahlengiso lwalubonakala lusebenza ekuqaleni, ikhamera ekwibhodi yabonisa ukuba amatayara angaphambili ayekhuhla. Lo nto ithetha ukuba nangona amavili e-engile, imoto ngokwayo yayingajiki ngokukhawuleza njengoko bekufanele. Ngokwemiqathango ye-layman, imoto ye-RC yayingaphantsi.
UJames wabona i-under-steering ephuma kwiphiko elincinane langaphambili xa uyijongisisa. Ngokutyhala ngakumbi komoya kwiphiko elingasemva, inokusebenza njenge-elevator ukuphakamisa umva wemoto ukuya phezulu.
Uyilo lwakhe lwesithathu nolokugqibela ludibanise izinto kwiiprototypes zakhe ezimbini. Imoto ye-RC yayiza kugcina iziketi kwaye iphakame ngasemva koyilo lwesibini kodwa ibe nephiko lefotsholo elikhulu langaphambili loyilo lokuqala.
Kwakubonakala kufanelekile ukuba uYakobi abuyele kwikona yesitrato apho waqala khona iimvavanyo zakhe zovavanyo lwakhe lokugqibela. Emva kwemitsi embalwa, iphiko langaphambili ladibana nesiphelo salo esingenakuthintelwa kwizandla ze-terra firma. Ngaphambi kokuba idle ukungcola, nangona kunjalo, imoto ye-RC yayilawule ixesha lokugijima imizuzwana ye-2.29 - ngokukhawuleza kakhulu kunemizuzwana ye-3.91 yemoto ye-barebones kunye nesantya esincinci kuneprototype ngaphandle kweengubo.
Kuhlolisiso lwasemva kwesidumbu, uJames wafumanisa ukuba amaphiko ayegoba ngoxa imoto yayihamba. Obo yayibubungqina obucacileyo bokuba babewenza umsebenzi wabo wokutyhalela phezulu umoya.
UJames ukhankanye ukuba akazange acinge ubunzima bemoto yeRC. Xa ucinga ukuba imoto yakhe inobunzima obuziikhilogram ezi-6, umkhosi womoya osezantsi awunakuba nempembelelo enkulu njengoko ubuya kuba nayo kwimoto encinci, elula.
Iimvavanyo zibonise ukuba i-aerodynamics idlala indima ebalulekileyo ekwenzeni iimoto ngokukhawuleza, kunye nokungahambelani okuxeliweyo. Ngethemba, uJames uya kusebenza kwimoto ekhaphukhaphu enezinto eziguquguqukayo ezilawulwa ngakumbi kwividiyo ezayo. Ukuze uhlale usexesheni ngaloo nto, qiniseka ukuba ujonge itshaneli yakhe yeYouTube, ProjectAir.
