These guys sell hoverboard plans you can do-it-yourself to lift 200lb person 1inch off the ground, even in snow!

(if you work for futurehorizons, plz send me a plan, i wanna build one… :) )

They got some other cool plans…

The hoverboard uses high performance hovercraft technology to lift a 200+lb rider 1 inch above the ground. A 6 horsepower 4-stroke gasoline engine spins a multi bladed propeller to force air under the craft. The plans are easy to follow and a working Hoverboard can usually be built for under $500 including the engine.

This design uses a single vertical shaft lawnmover engine. It can hover and can move forward and turn left and right. Handheld controls are used to steer and change engine speed. It can be built in approximately 24 to 36 hours depending on the builders skill level.

[...] A special flexible skirt (which acts like an air bag) is used to help trap air under the craft to increase efficiency. There is a slight gap between the flexible skirt and the surface while it’s hovering. When hovering, the craft is virtually friction free and only requires a small thrust to move at high speeds. The craft hovers best over smooth flat surfaces. “ [via] - Original Link. [...]

Hoverboard plans…

Way cool, but I’m a bit confused. Since they also sell a Wishing Machine (upgraded), why not just buy that for $390.00 and just wish for the $9000.00 hoverboard?
I’m also wondering what constituted the upgrade to the Wishing Machine. Could it be th…
