Speedboats: features of design and engine

Speed boats are convenient, but also very expensive kind of water transport. Both the swiftness of the vessel and the cost primarily depend on the material used for the execution. Optimum option is considered transport from aluminum alloy, a wooden boat is slightly inferior in performance. The undoubted advantage of the latter is the manual manufacture.

Engine

Particular importance is given to the installed motor. The standard engine is able to provide a speed within 45-50 km / h. Despite very decent values, this is not enough for good speed. One of the most technological and modern is the water jet supercharger, but it has not yet acquired a wide distribution, only speedboats Equipped with a similar motor. In addition, it provides the ability to run at full power at a depth of not more than 30 cm.

Power increase

A fairly common solution is the purchase of a unified boat with interchangeable motors and the subsequent installation of a new engine. But in this case, you need to take into account some points, for example, the permissible load on the vehicle. Speed boats, the characteristics of which can be very diverse depending on the class and the cost, have their own limit of turnover, exceeding which results in dangerous consequences.

Dynamic forces increase simultaneously with the speed of the boat. Racing motorboats and other high-speed vehicles with a small weight achieve almost complete slip. The boat only touches the water surface, but its mass is completely due to the pushing force.

Speed

Despite the fact that speedboats capable of reaching 80 km / h are somewhat inferior to sports analogs, they are quite enough for personal everyday use. A vessel with a potential of up to 80 km / h does not require the collection of unnecessary documents and certificates. Unfortunately, the proportion of motor power goes away during the appearance of surface waves. They arise as a result of the disturbance of the water surface, which always occurs during the movement of the vessel. Part of the water is displaced by the front of the boat and tends to fill the cavities at the stern. At the same time, as the weight of the displaced water decreases, the motor's power consumption decreases to wave formation, which not only interferes with other vessels, but also can negatively affect the shoreline.
