Week 1

Last week, Audie and I continued our plans to create a new and improved hovercraft based on the designs for the original hover craft. The blueprints that I created for the new design are as follows:



























As you can see, we had created several different ideas for a new craft. W had decided on the "hovertrike" idea, until we realized that this design would propose a center of gravity problem. So, we threw everything out and came up with this:



A hoverboard!!!
The new blueprints, for the new HOVERBOARD were as follows:









The board would be comprised of two separate 2' diameter "hoverdiscs" with a 3' long by 1.25' wide board stretching between them. The two discs would be powered by one shop vac each, with each vacuum plugged into a mounted power strip that would be plugged into an extension cord.
