Homemade Hovercraft

[nbax5]

Hi there:) really enjoyed your video! Please make me a big favor: watch my homemade RC catamaran. It turned out pretty good.

[itzzozimple]

how many fans did u use i made one and it just drowned

[mysticsailor1983]

took you 5 days to build ? o_O

[doscientist]

how can i reduce the weight?

[ziwelpam]

u made a floor buffer?

[Tomthetoolman100]

sweet recently made one out of a old hair dryer fan and motor there only 12 volt witch is handy

[S618K]

Nice work! Don't mind the criticism. I understand how exciting it is to make a neat machine like this because I too have made a similar thing in the past :-)

[XxocarabxX]

It looks like a vacum cleaner :D

[Hateyaall]

you did this about 4-5 years are you some kind of retard that make hovercrafts or what a kid will do this for a week or so.

[codydean10]

he said days

[somard1]

he said days retard

[taliewacker2007]

now make 200 more and you can put them together and sit on it

plus that took you a week? are you kindin me

[JonnehZ]

Your guess is as good as mine, honestly. I'd give you that time back, but it'd just be wasted watching a commercial on TV or something. Don't worry, I'll probably be removing this video soon anyway. :)

[themushroom1]

No! Please don't remove this video. It has merit as an example of low/no budget ingenuity. I'm jealous of your 53K views & I'm a jerk ..

[shotgunprophet]

@JonnehZ

At least you had the ambition and know how to make and post a video.

[ChRiSNXT]

@themushroom1 and why did you spend 2 minutes extra on commenting to this..

[blahdob]

erm, did you make that out of one of those sick bowls you get from hospital?

[JonnehZ]

Nope. If I remember correctly it was a piece of styrofoam from a newly bought lamp, and.. I think it was a plastic paper plate holder. Looking back at this thing I realize how insanely fail it was, but for all you people saying "I can do that in one hour!".. I was 15. I hand made a lot of those parts, including soldering together a controller for it (which wasn't shown in the video).

[blahdob]

Awesome :D

[Wulffspeaker]

it reminded me of those annoying little vacuuming robots you fall over...

[tomownzuftw]

i could bang thast together in like 10 mins

[djrhm]

i think ur creative for attempting it and i think its cool and that zjdak11 can suck my dick cuz hes an asshole

[zjdak11]

i call it hovertrash

[ChazWeisbeck]

good job

[rcfreak2493]

lol you can hear the batery dying wtf

[JonnehZ]

. . .Damn youtube for making my replies into normal comments. =_=

[JonnehZ]

It wasn't made to float, it was made to HOVER.

[D0zerRedefined]

rofl a paper plate Styrofoam and a computer fan nice man .....

[JonnehZ]

Hey, I work with what I've got lying around. It was a small side project I did because I was incredibly bored last summer. =P

[4n0nym0uz]

'hover'craft?

doesn't seem to be hovering

[TadlosClan]

i like it!

[mynameisbackwards]

it would be good if you can polish your car with it

[JonnehZ]

HELLS YEAH. 8D

[boogarts10]

omg you can buy one of those for five bucks you moron

[Regislovato]

Holy crap, you even constructed the fan blades?!

[JonnehZ]

..I had to. None of the fans I could find would give it enough lift to get off the ground. Plus, with handmade blades I was able to make quick adjustments to the angle of each one when needed.

[sjvietboy408]

Looks like a sander..

[ionutreturns]

how long did it take you to put that white tape over the cable?

[JonnehZ]

. . .uhm.. What white tape? The wires from the controller are just bound together with little pieces of scotch tape..

[justlovealesana]

its like sometging to clean your floor :p

[10Gfighterpilot]

ladies and gentlemen, the minature floor buffer

[JonnehZ]

Lmao, now there's an idea! XD

[F1RE2WATER]

these things never fly or get off the ground

[fordmoparguy]

i could of built that in 30 minutes

[Wiiings12]

dude.. you have got way too much time on your hands..

[ston932]

the fan is too bog for the smal paper plate you should use somethig biger then the plate

(sory for my bad englich skills (im german ))

[renobaron]

I would use a 18000 rpm jameco motor

[Anoukh]

isnt't that overdoing it?

I mean, it's probably enough with 12500r/m considering the weight of the hovercraft.

[hillmandj]

to make these you can use 2 paper plates glued together with macaroni inside and put gliter round the edges..... it works much better!

[Topopop0]

Meh

[tony70516]

hahahaha lmao. i made one with an upside down foan tray. 2 fans. one thrust propeller and one push lift propeller and 2 nine volt. when finished i was able to move my whole hand underneath it. keep workling

[pongigombi4ever]

It's not bad for the beginning but check out mine...I'm working on it when i have time, but it runs very good!!

[mikepent03]

would a fan out of a computer power supply work better?

[matty810]

that took a week to make it shouda took bwt a day!

[JonnehZ]

It was done in any spare time I had, I have a life too. >.>

[matty810]

even so, you must of spent 5 mins on it a night

[xWrOnGxMoVex]

paper plates are a good base for hover crafts

[wavefreeko]

It's not that hard to make a homemade hovercraft!

[shimaroto]

Wow... i gotta admit:this one's better than mine...xD

Good Work!now that you've got over me, i'm gonna try to make a better one!:P ^^

See ya!

[Rogerrogthe10th]

Nice job JonnehZ. Yet your hovercraft looks exactly like one of my friend's hovercraft. O_o

[JonnehZ]

You're an idiot, rashad.

XD

[Rogerrogthe10th]

Yes I am >8-D

[JonnehZ]

If you can't tell, the battery actually did die there at the end.. and it kinda just floated in the water..
