Building a hovercraft...what a great idea! If you're reading this I'm guessing that you're interested in building your own hovercraft... good for you. In this article I'm going to outline the 4 major parts of a hovercraft and give you a quick explanation about them, so when you go to build yours it won't seem so scary and intimidating.
Lets begin.
Building a Hovercraft - 4 Vital Parts
1) Fan System - The fan system is what is used to inflate the giant balloon(or the skirt) on the bottom of the hovercraft. The fan system pumps air into the skirt and is what gives the hovercraft its lift. A homemade fan system may be nothing more than a vacuum cleaner or a leaf blower.
2) Skirt - Basically the giant rubber balloon like thing on the bottom of your hovercraft, it is what keeps you off the ground, and keeps you buoyant. The fan system fills it up with air, and the platform sits on top of it to flatten it. You can make your skirt out of plastic sheets or something similar, just make sure it is strong and doesn't have any holes in it.
3) Platform - Pretty much a hard, flat piece of material where the pilot sits. It also keeps the skirt flattened to ensure that air pressure is evenly spread. You're platform can be made of anything hard and flat, such as timber or fibreglass.
4) Propulsion System - The thing that pushes you forward using left over air from the fan system, or another fan on the back. It doesn't require much thrust as you're floating on air so you can get quite fast quite easily.
So there you have it, the main components of a homemade hovercraft, pretty simple really.
