you can also just get a normal screw on cap, put a small hole on the top side, and glue it so the underside is facing up

This looks to me like a slightly different version of the CD hovercraft as it uses a drink bottle with a spout. It's great to have two different version of the same thing, as there are multiple right ways to build something.

Yeah, i guess you're right. Short, sweet, and simple. I love these instructables that I don't even have to get up for to make.

I made one of these in May and it really does work, for about 5 seconds. But it was fun playing air hockey on the table with my son.
