now make it into a hoverboard :D

[ScottieDM]

Back in 1984 we made one of these to move a servo writer from engineering to the clean room. It was a wooden pedestal about 6 x 3 feet & 4 inches tall. It was air tight and at the corners were rubber disks with holes in their centers--much like what you see in the vid at 0:19. An air hose pressurized the pedestal and air came out the holes in the disks, the rubber acted as a seal against the floor, and the whole thing rose up maybe 1/8 inch.

Gotta have a good flat floor to make this work.

groung probly has to be real smooth

[legitimate007]

i guess ill have to get two compressors one for the "hover creeper" and one for my airtools

[iamxeddiex]

yeah you could put wheels, but you ever had a tool in the way of the wheel? have you ever had a wheel run over your hand. great idea! lose the hose, and i will by one!

[COnCOrd762]

nobody here mentioned wheels xD  (joke) :P

[kartboy55]

just use wheels. duh

[tbfsnake]

its a great device but the drawbacks are:

1)the air tools and the cables(without them connected into it i bet its just an old serfing board)

2)fact that u have to have an air compressor and run it everytime u want to get greezy with the car

if they will design and build an in build air compressor and power source it could be the next thing in creeper technology, but without that fix its more of an expancive toy

[tbfsnake]

it hovers above ground like the hovercraft ships, thats what HOVER means in the real world, starwars type of hovering...thingies are still science fiction(but that thing does hover a cantimeter,by my guess,off the floor)

[IANH656]

hhahaahahha that guy doesnt fit under the car!!!!

[ANTMproductionisms]

or you could use wheels...
