APPLICATION OF HYDROFOIL ON SPEEDBOATS

Abstract

In the world of marine, there is a product known as the hydrofoil. And what this product does is to help increase the speed of a vessel and decreases the water drag of the vessel. Not much is known about hydrofoil in Malaysia and in UniKL MIMET, so with the objective of this project, we are to develop and create a workable prototype for education purposes. With the limitation of budget, we can create a small-scale product that is made from selected materials. There is research done about this product but still, not many are known in the public. With the knowledge and skills of cutting, fabrication and electronics, this project can be completed. There were some problems that occurred during the process of the project but in the end, it finished without any complications. At the end, this project is then tested to determine its usage and effectiveness.
