Jaden made a hovercraft for one of his projects covering the energy and force standards. He started by getting a board of plywood then cut the general shape of the craft and made the hole for the leaf blower. After that, he put the tarp on. During his experiment, Jaden found out that the tarp works best and the craft floated off the ground. The craft lifted 3 inches in the Venture's classroom. When asked about the project process Jaden said, "You will need a lot of duct tape and time." For more info on his project visit http://amasci.com/amateur/hovercft.html.

Jaden,
ReplyDeleteI was greatly impressed with the "lift" from your hovercraft. This has to be one of the coolest projects I have ever seen.
