Iqela leOracle eMelikaI-Sam Greenfield / I-ORACLE TEAM USA EMilan, eParis, eLondon naseNew York babamba imiboniso yabo yefashoni yonyaka. Kukwanjalo nakwizinto ezinkulu zobugcisa kunye noyilo; zenzeka rhoqo ngonyaka. Abaqulunqi abaphambili behlabathi kunye nabazobi bafumana ukubonisa iitalente zabo rhoqo.
Akunjalo kubaqulunqi abanetalente beenqanawa ezikhawulezayo zehlabathi. Izakhono zabo ziboniswa kuphela kwiminyaka emine. Lo ngomnye wale minyaka kwaye indlela yokubaleka iqala kwiiveki ezimbalwa eBermuda. Apho, zintandathu ii-catamarans ezikhawulezayo zokuhamba ngeenqanawa eziza kukhuphisana nendebe endala yezemidlalo: Indebe yaseMelika.
Njengezindlu zefashoni ezinabantu abangaphezulu kobomi abathanda ukuphumelela, i-AC35 ineQela le-Oracle e-USA uLarry Ellison, enye yamadoda atyebileyo emhlabeni, ngasemva kwayo. U-Ellison uxhase imiceli mngeni emininzi yeNdebe engaphambili, kwaye uza eBermuda ngesona sikhephe sikhawulezayo- okanye uyathemba. I-Oracle ikhusela iNdebe ngokuchasene nomceli-mngeni osaza kuzimisela oza kuthi aphume kumdyarho ofanelekileyo waseLouis Vuitton.
Ukufumana ukuqonda malunga nokuba kuthatha ntoni ukwenza isikhephe esihamba ngaphezulu kwamaqhina angama-40 (46mph), ndithethile nomququzeleli woyilo lwe-Oracle, isikhephe sokubaleka i-rockstar maven Scott Ferguson. Le yindebe yesixhenxe yaseMelika eScott. Kunye negalelo kuyilo, umsebenzi wakhe kukudibanisa zonke ezinye izinto zoyilo.

Izihlomelo [iifoyile eziphakamisa isikhephe emanzini] zezona zinto zibaluleke kakhulu kuyilo lwesikhephe. Alithandabuzeki elokuba isikhephe esikhawulezayo siya kuphumelela iNdebe yeMelika, ke ukufumana ii-foil ngokuchanekileyo kunye nokwenza ilifti kuyakwenza umahluko.
Sambuza ukuba kutheni le nto kunjalo kwaye kwimpendulo yakhe enobuchule akazange akubekele phantsi ukubaluleka kobuchule boomatiloshe okanye amanye amandla entlangano. Kwakungekho nemilo yoyilo lwemigodi kunye neeseyile ezinamacala angabalulekanga. Iifoyile, ukongeza ekudaleni isantya esikhawulezayo ngokukhawuleza, zibonelela ngokuhamba ngokujikeleza okuxineneyo kwikhosi emfutshane yomdyarho.
UScott ucacisile, Konke malunga nolawulo. Umsebenzi ophambili kukucheba iiseyile ezinamaphiko amileyo kunye nokulawula ukunyuka kwesikhephe emanzini. Umntu ophetheyo kufuneka akwazi ukuyigcina yonke ngokudibeneyo. Ukuthimba kukuhlala kunokwenzeka xa kukho into engahambanga kakuhle. Ngendlela, iOracle Iqela laseMelika sele litshintshile amatyeli amathathu kukhuphiswano lwabo lokuziqhelanisa.
Kule mijikelo, ukungaphumeleli ngokukhawuleza kuba yintlekele. Abasebenzi banxiba iminqwazi yokuphahlazeka kunye nezixhobo zomzimba.
Emva kwezihlomelo, uScott uziva uyilo lweqonga-oonobumba ababini kunye ne-crossbeams-yeyona nto yesibini ibaluleke kakhulu. Nazo ezixhasa iseyile enkulu yamaphiko amileyo. Le seyile ithelekiswa nephiko lejumbo jet kubungakanani kunye nokusebenza. Injongo yoyilo lwamaphiko kukonyusa isitshixo kunye nokuphakamisa isikhephe emanzini, ngaloo ndlela unciphisa ukurhuqa. Ukuba uScott neqela lakhe bakwenza ngokuchanekileyo oku, izikhephe zesikhephe azifane zibekho emanzini. Endaweni yokuba isikhephe sijikeleze ikhosi yomdyarho kwiifilili.
Okulandelayo kuluhlu lukaScott ziindlela, ulawulo lwe-hydraulic oluvumela i-foil ukuba inyuke isihla, iiruders zihambe, kwaye iiseyile ziyacuthwa. Ngemihla yore konke oku kwenziwa ngesandla. Ngoku kufezekiswa ngoomatshini abantsonkothileyo abasebenza kumbane wamanzi owenziwe ngoomatiloshe ngokuguqa ngamatye kwiziseko, besebenzisa izandla neenyawo. Amandla agqithisileyo avelisiweyo agcinwa echibini. Ngaphandle kwala mandla, isikhephe besingazukuhamba.
Bonke abasebenzi be-AC bebekuHerculean kuqeqesho lomzimba kangangeenyanga.
Imiba yoyilo yeQela le-Oracle e-USA kuvavanywa iminyaka kusetyenziswa iinkqubo zekhompyuter ezinamandla (CFD) zekhompyuter. Iintsuku zeenqanawa zokuvavanya itanki kunye noyilo lweseyile zide zahamba. Iikhompyuter ze-geek zibhala iinkqubo ezinokuxela kwangoko ukuba utshintsho oluncinci kwitheyibhuli yesikhonkwane okanye i-angle ye-foil yehlaselo iya kuchaphazela isantya kunye nokuhamba. Injongo kukugcina isikhephe simi nkqo kwaye sihamba ngokukhawuleza. Umzuzu wokulungisa ungukumkani.
Akukho zinikiweyo kule Ndebe, utshilo uScott. Ucinga ukuba bonke abakhuphisana no-Oracle babonisa umceli mngeni wokwenyani. Kukho abayili abagqwesileyo abakhele iinqanawa ezikhawulezayo ezihamba ngoomatiloshe abakumgangatho wehlabathi.
Ukuba unomdla odlulayo kwisikhephe, uyilo lwesikhephe, okanye kwezona zinto zintsha kwezobuchwephesha, ungaphoswa yile Ndebe yaseMelika. Ithembisa ukuba inomdla njengalo naluphi na ukhuphiswano loyilo naphi na.
Abaphumeleleyo baqala ngoMeyi 26 kwaye umdyarho we-AC35 uqobo ungoJuni 17. Uninzi lwayo luya kuboniswa kumabonakude kwi-NBC.
UJonathan Russo ubethanda ukuhamba ngomkhumbi kangangeminyaka engama-30. Uhamba ngesikhephe iSaber 38 Sachem kunye ne-Etchell's evela kwiShelter Island Yacht Club. Ubhale malunga nokuhamba ngesikhephe kunye nokubaleka kwiiSandi, iSuttlebut kunye neNtatheli yeShelter Island.
