Hello my name is jake, and i live in illinois and i was googling hovercraft designs because i am interested in building one and i happened to come across yours and i was very impressed with it. When i build my hovercraft, i want it to be like yours. So, i have something to ask of you, which is this: can you please create step by step instructions on how you made your hovercraft? i am able to build things better if i look off of step by step instructions. It would also be nice if you made an exact list of all the materials you used to build it. I know it is a lot to ask of you, since you dont know me, but it would really mean a lot to me if you could do that for me. My email is super-trunkmonkey@hotmail.com, so if you get this message, please send a response to this message to that email. Please respond! Sincerally, Jake
I just posted a new instructable, USB Bike Generator, so go check it out and if you like it vote for it in the USB contest. Thanks
I know you've been around for a while, but I realized I never said hello. Thanks for sharing your projects, and welcome to Instructables!
Let me know if you have any questions.
You've probably already found your way around, but in case you haven't seen these, here's a guided tour of Instructables and an Instructable for making Instructables.

hey, me again, what kind of styrofoam did u use? could only find 2" insulation at home depot, so im guessing u used that, but just wanna confirm
I used 2" thick white styrofoam, 4'x8' sheet, from homedepot. It was not the pink insulation.

heres the one i used can u please just look at it and tell me if it'll do, they didnt have any other one so im pretty sure u used this one too, but again, i just wanna make sure

the 2" one

the 2" one
The stuff i used had no laminated surfaces and no lettering on it, just the white styrofoam. The sheet you got looks fine just keep it away from the engine block, a few inches, and the exhaust. The only reason I used the foam was to stiffen up the hull and to give it some buoyancy, as long as it does that its good.

Thanks again, ur help is greatly appreciated. I also just realized the engine wont be that close to it anyway, since, like urs is, im mounting it on some angle-iron for the lift and wood for the thrust.
Do you have any pictures or are you going to do an instructable for it

right, not pink insulation, but its insulation all the same right? i just wanted to make sure cuz it says its combustible at high temperatures, and i wasnt sure if any of the motors get hot enough (dont know how high they mean by "high temp")

You can find a hovercraft that is very similar to yours at http://www.xinventions.com/main/hovercrafts/home.htm
This kind features a seat and had some parts that were done differently.
I also like your user pic.

Actually, my hovercraft is on his site as well. Check out his builders show case.

hey, Im starting my own hovercraft. I was wondering where'd you get the flywheels and the belt drive?
i got them from an old air conditioner, thats where I got the lift fan too. Most lawn mower repair shops have both belts and pullys to fit the types of motors I used as well. I used a brass bushing bearing but I would recomened a sealed ball bearing pillow block for the drive shaft.
