hommade hovercraft

my hommade hovercraft, it was kind of difficult to film by myself so please bear with me, it did hover in the video but I had no steering on it at the time so I had to stop it very quickly, I did eventually put steering on it but it jammed and would only turn right, it was a light 2x4 3/8 sheet of plywood so it moved fairly quick, reaching speeds of about 10 mph on a flat road, on my steepest driveway (not the one in the video) I pushed about 20-25 and almost destroyed it, a few days ago I stripped it for parts so I could begin my new hovercraft project, which I will make a video of soon.

take it over water XD

[pyroboy08]

@smeagle9999 I tried, it went to the bottom of a pond, thankfully I pulled the propeller motor off before I did it, and I was able to yank the leaf blower off before it went under. I was able to pull the beast back from the depths and although badly warped, it still works

thats err... inpressive even though it proably couldint hold a person

[pyroboy08]

@paul911d yes actually it does hold a person it hovers very well but it won't lift more than a 160 pound person, my new one with 3 blowers lifts 3 but it needs a lot of support added because the plywood bends inward severely under heavy load and will probably only lift 2 once I put the 7hp on the back

Very sweet, now I want to build one. You might like some of my project videos I posted. Keep up the good work.
