DO-IT-YOURSELF HOVERCRAFT
Stan Taylor as well as his production category at Miles Community College built a hovercraft powered by an normal electric leafblower – watch it in action! Print designs at: www.amasci.com … hovercraft leafblower production Miles City Montana root ventilator pledge homemade diy

Interesting…here at Auburn University we make a real hovercraft every 4 months, and it goes 65mph. Except we use an engine equivalent to that of a snowmobile rather than a leaf blower
now if you’re real ingenious. use some car batteries two leaf blowers i believe an inverter is required and now you’re not limited to the length of your power cable. and if you think about use of a more effective pluenum chamber would increase efficiency and lift ability of your hovercraft. tehee =) built an autonomous hovercraft using centrifugal fans and Lego NxT brain to make it travel on its own.
Man Up and put it on a pond!!
yes but you can go around the block if you wanted to!!!!
If the leaf blower was strong enough, yeah.
our school does it too!
yea lo but loud as heeeeeelll
if you had bigger bag that the air went into wouldn’t it go higher
I have always wanted a hovercraft.
push it down a hill!
i made one of those in 7th grade, mine looked almost exactly like that except mine went a little higher because i was a little 7th grader and didnt weight very much. haha
gas powered leaf blower
lol, if that thing was cordless, it would be like a hover segway!
LOL!!!
That would depend on the ratio of your weight to the air pressure coming through I imagine. If you had more air coming through at a higher pressure, equally balanced, you could make it go higher for sure.
are you able to make it hover any higher by any means possible, or is this the only height that you can get to so far?
mybe if it had 4 leaf blowers?
mythbusters where the first !!!
ahahah !!!!
those hovercrafts are what the graduates of that school leave with since their education cant buy them a car with 4 wheels lol. jk
Imagine going to work or school like this!!!
epic
this was on mythbusters as well.
that guys seating should have been so embarrass how disappointing… xd
it probably cant go on water but i dare youz to try!
imagine that with about 5 leaf blowers!
