Hoverboard propulsion test rig

Summer 2025

An Arduino-based fan test rig for sizing a compact hoverboard power system.

Tools

  • Arduino
  • DFM

What I did

  • Built an Arduino-based fan test rig using DFM principles to optimize thrust-to-size ratio for a compact hoverboard power system.
  • Researched and sourced parts for budget and scalability, then paused the build for budget reasons.
