HOVERCRAFT!
|
|
We built a hovercraft!!! It was so much fun!! All we used to make it was two rolls of duct tape, one 8 foot by 4 foot by 1/2-inch piece of plywood, one large shower curtain, staples and a staple gun, one plastic lid, two leaf blowers, and tools to cut the wood. First, we cut the plywood in half. Next, we cut the plywood into a circle with a diameter of 3 feet 8-inches. Then we cut two holes two feet apart for the leaf blowers. After that we cut the shower curtain to fit the hovercraft, and then stapled it to the bottom of the hovercraft. Then we cut 6 holes on the bottom of the curtain so the air can escape. After that we put the plastic lid on the bottom with staples so we could push the hovercraft around. We taped the bottom of the shower curtain with duct tape so it would not pop. The hovercraft floats because the leaf blowers are blowing air into the shower curtain creating a pocket of air to ride on. The air leaves through the holes in the shower curtain. Next time we make a hovercraft we are going to use a smaller lid so we can ride smoother without it popping. We will also only use one leaf blower so it is easier to ride. We all got to ride it! It was soooooooo much fun!! Next time we make a hovercraft we will use a smaller lid so it will glide better. The best part was riding it! Next time we also might only use 1 leaf blower so it is easier to hold.
