Hoverboard for going over water using 4 giagantic Ryobi leaf-blower engines building on top

of previous article.
wow!

Well, here it is. Hoverboard vH2.0. And yes – it has successfully hovered on water (just not with me on it…. Damn it!) I guess I knew Neptune wasn’t looking favourably on my latest build when I felt compelled to don Bermudas rather than ride my creation in slacks…

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.

Okay, yesterday through the instructable, we made a simple hovercraft. Today, we are going to take

it to another level by taking FOUR PC fan coolers and running the FANS at 24VDC instead of the

12V DC rating. I think they are okay up to 30VDC, well, our fans are still running�

Here’s a cool video I found on google video, it seems like they are using it on skateboard ramps and really funny how people are using emerging technology as an everyday fun toy like skateboard…

Check these guys out if you are going to make a robot or some type of transporation device.

Even if you are not into robots, I think this platform could serve as a quick, already-made travel platform

for any type of machine you are trying to make.

They provide these robot platforms with wheels, motors, battery to get you started with different
weight classes from 30 to even 220 lbs.

The platform can travel at maximum speed of 20mph with 24V DC power…

I am thinking of a Zedomax Battlebot someday….hmmm….

It’s been used as platform BioHazard I guess…

They are offering free Basic kits for anyone whos entering the Battlebot competition…

It looks like this hoverboard was made using a Black and Decker Dustbuster or something…

but looks really cool!

Here’s a full size hoverboard, kinda bulky but works.
