Abstract

In this paper, the development of an air cushion transporter has been studied. To do this, theoretical analysis is introduced to design the equipment and computational fluid dynamics is also conducted. Design of an air cushion transporter for heavy load carriage is completed and a prototype is manufactured. Through the analysis and experiment of the developed the prototype, it can be known that the developed transporter can levitate the load of about 1 ton at the applied pressure of 0.2 MPa and the maximum lifting height at this condition is 17mm.
