FRAMEWORK FOR THE DESIGN OF A TOURIST AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE

Abstract

This research has the objective of compiling a theoretical framework for the creation of an amphibious vehicle with a capacity of 8 passengers for the tourism sector, using mechanical configurations to move on land and navigate on water, it has been considered primarily the technical basis for the conceptual elaboration. from the design of the RINA classifier (Italian Naval Registry), the hull of the tourist amphibious vehicle was modeled in the Rinhoceros program and according to RINA, AL-5083/H111 ALUMINUM and AL-6082/t6 reinforcements have been considered for the construction of the hull. . In order for the radius of displacement to comply with the maximum speed according to the calculations, the ideal propeller is chosen, in this case under the characteristics of the manufacturer Mercury (power Vs diameter) the value of the diameter is obtained through an equation, the propeller model it is 827312A45 Aluminum. The mechanical part has a gearbox system with two outputs - two gears and 4 gears, the maximum speed reached is 50 Km/h, (propellant system - impeller system), it does not need a shovel to generate the steering of the hull in the water, since the system that connects to the propeller can rotate up to 180°.

Keywords: Resistance, power, drive system, test channel.
