Hovercrafts are a blast; If you have never ridden one you don't know what you are missing.  When you ride the craft you'll have a floating sensation you'll never forget.  They're great for science projects or just having some fun.  Here are a couple hovercrafts that I have made. You can view pictures and various information on each hovercraft by clicking on the links below or left.  Also, there is some brief information on the two hovercrafts below.

NEW: Using fluid dynamics now you can solve for what size blower you might need for a certain sized craft.  Click here for details!

Small hovercraft	The first, smaller hovercraft was made from a vacuum cleaner engine  and some plywood. It can lift up to 200 pounds. The bad thing about this hovercraft is that it has an extension cord running from it and it's quite small. It also is unable to run on water. However this is a great introductory craft and is great for a science fair project or just some fun!
Large hovercraft	The second, larger craft is about twice as big as the first (7ft by 4ft) and takes a more sleek, longer shape. It runs off a gas powered blower so riding on water is possible. A 2 stoke weed whacker engine with a 24 inch propeller is used to propel the craft wherever desired.  The craft rides on a cushion of air about six inches  off the ground and is a blast to ride.
