DIY HACK – The Redneck 30 minute hovercraft using cardboard box and save precious resources too!

The Redneck 30 minute hovercraft using cardboard box and save precious resources too!

Yep, you CAN make a hovercraft during your lunch break now. Just follow the directions!

I built a working hovercraft using cardboard and a shop vacuum in 30 minutes.

You can build a hovercraft quickly and easily using cardboard, duct tape, and a vacuum. There are excellent instructions available on the Internet. I adapted these standard instructions by substituting cardboard for plywood. In fact you build a hovercraft out of most anything that’s more or less airtight.

You can ride your hovercraft outside by using a gas powered leaf blower instead of a vacuum. Don’t use a leaf blower indoors because they are very loud and create smoke. One problem you will encounter outside is that there are few flat surfaces. Tennis courts work well. If you try to ride on the road you will quickly end up in the ditch since roads have a convex surface that keeps rainwater from building up.

Well… you CAN make an alarm system in 3 minutes too… (That means you can make 10 alarm systems for the time it takes to make 1 hovercraft…)

    i wonder how well this will work on the dirt/gravel/sand... i mean in the way of how long the bag will stand itself/you up...
  • It should work on the sand ok... and it would work on gravel as long as there arent any huge rocks that stick up that might tear the plastic

    As popular and funny as it seems, the word "redneck" is a racist term, aimed only at whites. It's all or nothing, guys. If it's not PC to call Mexicans "wetbacks" and blacks "niggers", we also shouldn't be calling whites "rednecks".
  • bah... i dont think 'redneck' is racist.... its more of a term describing ones upbringing... kinda like you would call a blonde a bimbo, or a snob, or a valley girl.... its not technically racist...

    hell, i gots me some redneck in me myself ya know
