Abstract
An amphibious Rover (or simply amphibian), is a vehicle that is a means of transport, viable on land as well as on water. We have made amphibious rover that can work on both land as well as on Water by simply providing it with a waterproof hull or raft skirt and perhaps a propeller. Design is made like an army tank on inventor software by using certain set of parameter such as load to be handled, dimension constraint, speed etc. Design of each and every component such as main chassis, motor, shock absorber, propeller etc. and the analysis of the same are done using Autodesk inventor software. Fabrication of chassis and assembly of various components is done is shown in subsequent section below and analysis is also done and it is found that our design is safe.
Calculation of hull dimension using standard method of design of catamaran type hull and did the modeling of hull on inventor software of the same.
Main objective of this Project is to make a rover that can work on both lands as well as on Water. The Add-ons such as heat Sensing Camera, Close Circuit Camera, Mechanical arms can also be added to fulfill the desire Requirement of the Rover. To make Rover that can be used as Life Guard on beaches.
