As a science teacher I am always looking for new things to use in the classroom. I love this and will use it. I will have to go look at the rest of your videos now.
all I can think about is how bad I would have wanted to do these when I was younger :P im 19 now and I might actually still try it, but it would have been awesome if I had known about this like 8 years ago :P
@zaSpeaker I have not investigated it. It would make for some interesting experiments. I have concentrated so far on the efficiency of the gliders. If you make them efficient enough you can push them with only your hands deflecting the air.
all it is is static electricity your hands and miltarials such as cardbord,foam and stuff of that sort poduce static electricity its the same thing as you geting shocked by somebody or taking the packing off of pop corn and it gets stuck to your skin well you can power stuff by that and in this case he is powering the glider with static electricity you can make this your self
@imbadson I do have a page about levitation with static electricity. But that's not what's happening in this video. As you move the board, air "relative wind" rushes up and over. If you can keep your glider in that upwash of air, you can "soar" it.
@imbadson It has nothing to do with static electricity. This is the air that is deflected off the top of the board/hands, that's why if you go faster the glider will go higher until it goes above the air stream.
@axelailton I can't put links into these comments, but in the text explanation above there is a link about surfing foam gliders. Part 6 has a jagwing pattern for foam.
@TheAxel301 Look at the text description to this video (you might have to reload the page because I just added to it). I can't put links here, but it's there: the link to the instructions, patterns, thin foam, etc.
@ sciencetoymaker G'day, again.... Brilliant. Thanks for doing it open source..! I do that, too.
For a laugh, check my clip "SunFoil Mk-1 Genesis..." to see the opposite end of the spectrum of Recycled Styrofoam, to make the Core-Block of a Faceted-Aerofoil/Omni-Directional Solar-Array, for automotive-use at 100
Km/Hr. 'Twas thick, & ckunky, but it worked; drag-neutral at 90 Km/Hr, & reduced the Car's Aero-Drag-burn 1% at 100 Klicks ! Search 'sunfoil', & enjoy!
@kerriechapa210 I've made instructions for origami (paper) gliders. It's a good project, but not for beginners. Even telephone book paper is heavier than thin sliced (.5mm for small gliders) EPS (expanded polystyrene, the white kind) foam. So the paper ones travel much faster than foam ones. It is possible to make a simple hot wire cutter to cut discarded packaging foam. Nichrome wire is very cheap, only pennies per foot.Search for the video Walkalong Foam Glider Progress Report for the latest.
@23BBQ If you click on the link in the text area you can see the recent progress report video. My students are testing the latest designs and I will create the instructions then.
It is a great video,I learn from it and make my walkalong glider. The glider can fly very slowly and stable,it is easy to make and to learn for my primary school students in science class, I chang plastic straws into paper article to adjust center gravite as other video was playing.Thank you so much.
Where do I get 1 of those cutter thingies
supremeninja10 1 week ago
@supremeninja10 You have to make them, but it's not too hard. I just uploaded a much updated video about making your own foam. On YouTube search for
THIN FOAM HOT-WIRE CUTTING PROGRESS REPORT
There is a linked text page that explains the images.

Could you not cut the foam blocks into the shape of the glider then slice them off? Very cool vid :)
TheAurtherDent 4 weeks ago 2
@TheAurtherDent It's a good idea. Yes. You might still have to cut out the pattern to get the folds in the right place.
