January 18, 2008
The Radio Controlled Hovercraft is capable of running across land, water, ice or snow. It has a dual cushion to provide lift, but keep the air tucked away inside. It has 3 motors inside and 2 propellers to keep it hovering and moving.
It’s the perfect office type toy for those with boring jobs.

Hoverwing - A Flying Hovercraft
October 29, 2007
A cool hovercraft named the hoverwing has been created by a bloke named Rudy Heeman in New Zealand. This hoverwing is a hovercraft with wings attached which allow it to fly over 6 feed above the water. It takes off at top speed which is 60MPH. It has taken a long time to perfect and looks quite fun to fly although in the making he was injured although this didn’t stop Rudy from continuing on. There is space for 1 passenger. Would you fly with Rusy on the hoverwing?

Build your own Hovercraft
August 23, 2007
Building a hovercraft might not have been on your priority list recently, but now you can make your own with full instructions. By using fluid dynamics you can calculate the size of the blower needed for the size and weight of the craft you build. Various sized hovercrafts can be made from using either a small vacuum cleaner engine which plugs in up to a 2 stoke weed whacker engine with a 24 inch propeller attached. Sounds like fun.
Plans available from Xinventions.
Hovercraft Office Chair
July 4, 2007
Hover around your office on the hovering chair
Yep, I am sure you know this isnt actually real but it is still fun to mention. The hovercraft chair is an idea put forward by someone over at ideawicket and is basically a chair that hovers with a large fan under it. The crazy idea behind this is to allow for more fun at the office and give a faster way to travel around places. To control the chair you just lean forwards or in which ever direction you want to go. I guess in a similar way to how you control a segway but in this case you are sat down and floating.
