anyone into larger items for gigs ive just seen a good one on the mythbusters tv show that would be sure to get laughs or at least a wow or two. its a single person hover craft made out of three strong vacume motors.it had a piece of plywood as the base with the motors mounted on top blowing air through holes in the plywood. under the plywood was a bag made out of what looked like a tarp that had small holes all around the bottom where the air escaped and the bag also blew up a bit like a air bed. now it didnt have any kind of propution system but i imagin using a leaf blower or something like that could solve that problem. im gonna do somemore thinkin on this and possibly try to build one. i think this can be done with minimal investment but it might take some thought from you and trial and error so if anyone else wants to attempt it also i think we could make it work.

Personally, I though the three leaf blowers on the back with the roller skates looked like fun!

I saw another show about this same subject, but it was a classroom project for several girls, and they finally got it going after several different designs. I agree with you about it's coolness, and I'd like to attempt it....but honestly....

I'm just too lazy....:(

Let us know how it goes....maybe it will inspire me...
