Hovercrafts! Make your own magic carpet ride! Find your inner George Jetson!

The World's Hovercraft Speed Record was set on September 18, 1995 by American Bob Windt. He got his air cushion vehicle up to a speed of 85.87 mph!

The hovercraft was originally designed to ferry people across the English Channel.

Nowadays, it's getting lots of attention as a DIY craze thanks to guys like our demonstrator below, Jason Bradbury of UKTV's Gadget Show.

Now that's pretty cool. Make one that hovers about 3 feet off the ground, and I'll be impressed. It's about the same principals of Air Hockey.

My son is 70 pounds, so do you think the hoverboard you made in the first video can work on gravel and pavement, without ripping or falling apart, with him standing, and a 200 mph air speed leaf blower?
-Thanks.

Thats pretty much as high as you can get it. Any higher and you lose the pocket of air underneath and also there would be no balance. And you have to be on a flat surface. If you go on the street, it will quickly get torn and stuff.
