-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've seen plans on the Internet to make a small (3-5 foot diameter sit on disk) "Hovercraft" out of a piece of plywood and an (ICE) leaf blower (+thick plastic shower curtain skirt).
Unfortunately, my little Black & Decker "hard surface sweeper" http://www.blackanddecker.com/outdoor/NS118B.aspx does NOT have enough "umph" to be used for this alone, (although perhaps 4 of them together around the rim of the disk....) Below are some links where a group of people used two 40 volt lithium leaf blowers ( which cost $140 EACH): http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-LSW36-40-Volt-Cordless/dp/B00AXTO41E To make a hovercraft that could lift one (light) person: Instructions: http://www.instructables.com/id/Battery-Powered-Hovercraft/ Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAG4DUDPHE8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D6AGOQOdNk If anybody can post a link to a more powerful battery operated leaf blower that would make this hovercraft work better or with a single leaf blower instead of having to buy two, it'll be on topic, as long as used for EV purposes, and not leaf blowing purposes.
