Hovering Disk - DIY 3D Printed - Frictionless Motion Experiment

prusaprinters

<p>The Hovering Disk is a 3d printed device, which demonstrates almost frictionless motion. The air coming from the balloon is moving through a small whole to the bottom of the disk. At the bottom it is distributed all-over to all sides. This constant air stream prevents the disk from touching the ground and the disk therefore starts hovering.</p> <p>See the disk in action:<br/> <figure class="media"> <oembed url="https://youtu.be/wl0n9UZzOhQ"></oembed> </figure> </p> <p>To demonstrate the hovering effect use even surfaces like glass or flat tables.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>MakerBot</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>MakerBot Replicator+</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>30%</p> <h3> <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>No Rafts no support, make sure the print surface is even and does not have any damage.</p></div> How I Designed This</h3> <p>I designed this using Autodesk Inventor, check the video from the description for more information.</p> </p></p> Category: Physics & Astronomy
