The basic mechanism of a hovercraft is very simple : there's an engine(diesel or gasoline) that powers both a large central fan, pointing downward, and one or more other fans pointing backward. The central fan creates the lift that holds the craft above the waves; the other fans propel the craft backward, forward, or to the side. A rubber skirt(with or without fingers) traps a cushion of air under the craft.  2, record 1, English, - finger

scoop : A specialized-shape skirt which, on American balloons, narrows to an inch or two on one side and widens to extend all the way from the top of the poles to the base of the envelope proper, forming a tilted mouth. The idea of the scoop is to provide better control of the aerostat's orientation. Ideally, the front(or main part of the scoop) will always be kept in the direction of travel. It may also aid in keeping the envelope full.  5, record 2, English, - pressure%20scoop

Mechanical screens with cleaning mechanism on the upstream side.... Rake-cleaned bar screens, cable-driven. This type of screen should only be used when the suspended solids content is relatively small. The use of cables makes it possible to reach relatively great depths. The straight bar screen, inclined at 80 ° to the horizontal, is cleaned by a rake attached to a moving carriage operated by two cables. The screenings are raised along a sheet-metal skirt, and then ejected into a receptacle situated behind the bar screen.  2, record 6, English, - cable%2Ddriven%20mechanical%20rake
