Bolotokhod MT-14
Ua pau nā lā hoʻomaha, akā e hoʻāʻo mau e ʻimi i kahi manawa hou no ka leʻaleʻa. I kēia lā, hōʻike mākou i kahi hoʻohālike i ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka hana ma mua o nā hoʻolālā mua. Ma kēia ʻāpana o ka pōʻai o kā mākou papa haku, e hana mākou i kahi kumu hoʻohālike mamao, ka mea i kapa ʻia ʻo swamp boat.
Wahi a kekahi o nā encyclopedias kaulana, ua kūkulu ʻia ka prototype mua o ia moku ma Kanada i ka makahiki 1910 e kahi hui i alakaʻi ʻia e Alexander Graham Bell (1847-1922) - ʻo ia ka mea nāna i hoʻopaʻa mua i ke kelepona ma 1876. Ma ʻAmelika, ʻike ʻia kēia hale he swamp and fanboat (airboat). He waʻa kēia (maʻa mau ka papahele palahalaha) nona ka neʻe unuhi i loaʻa ma o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka propeller drive, ʻo ka pinepine me ka propeller i pale ʻia e ka ʻupena mai ka launa ʻole ʻana me nā lālā, nā lole, a i ʻole nā mea noho o ka waʻa. He mau ʻano kaʻa kaʻa kaulana loa kēia i kēia lā, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma Florida a i ʻole Louisiana, kahi i hiki ʻole ai i ka nui o nā mea kanu wai ke hoʻokele propeller kuʻuna. ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻauʻau wale ma ka limu liʻiliʻi, algae a i ʻole ka ʻohe, akā (ma hope o ka wikiwiki) e lele i waho i ka ʻāina, kahi e hoʻokūkū ai lākou i ka hovercraft.
ʻAʻohe kaʻa kaʻa ʻaʻohe kaʻa kaʻa a me ke kaʻa hoʻohuli, lawe ʻia ka hoʻokele me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā hoʻokele i loaʻa i ke kahawai propeller a me kahi mea hoʻokele wikiwiki ʻenekini (ʻo ka mea pinepine he kaʻa ma luna a i ʻole kaʻa i hoʻololi ʻia). I ka hapanui o nā hihia, loaʻa i kēia mau kaʻa nā noho hāmama no ka pailaka a me kekahi mau mea kaʻa, akā aia kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona paʻakikī i hoʻolālā ʻia e lawe i nā mākaʻikaʻi hou aʻe a hoʻohana ʻia e nā lawelawe patrol a hoʻopakele.
Ma Polani, ʻike pinepine ʻia nā waʻa ea (i ʻike ʻia ʻo "reeds") ma kahi ʻano liʻiliʻi. He koho maikaʻi loa ia i nā ʻano wai wai a pau i haumia ʻaʻole wale e nā mea kanu. Me lākou hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau i loko o kahi puddle nui aʻe. Hoʻolako ʻia kēia mau hiʻohiʻona me nā ʻenekini mokulele maʻamau - hoʻopau i loko a me ka uila. Loaʻa i ka mea hope ka pono o ka hiki ke hoʻohana i nā regulators unidirectional.
Hoʻoiho i nā kiʻi pono i ka hana ʻana i ka swamp MT-14:
