Leaf Blower Hovercraft First Test Flights 1 Jan 2009 Construction: 47 inch in diameter by 0.5 inch thick plywood disc, 30 cc two-stroke engine, tarpaulin skirt
Many thanks for your comments - glad you liked the video. Yes, it does need a "thrust vectoring" system (!). We think a large fan that moves high flow volumes at medium/low speeds would be more efficient than a high speed jet from the same or another leaf blower. Until then, it will have to be gravity driven!
Brilliant! When is version 2 with propulsion out?
