Human powered hovercraft
Building a vehicle that can be powered by a human must be the Holy Grail of engineering and sometimes clever people actually produce something that is really interesting. They have managed to build a human powered hovercraft, which you would have thought would be a hard thing to make, but as you can see from the images they have done it.
The team behind this is the London Flight Club, they have been working on the Steam Boat Willy project for a long time, and they seem to have got to the point where they have a working model. It runs on pedal power and yes, it actually does inflate the skirt around the craft too, it is an amazing piece of engineering, but hard work you would imagine.
