A hovercraft is a water craft that uses air power to propel forward and skim across the water. Large fans blow air down beneath the craft which causes it to hover over the water it's covering. Separate large fans behind the craft push it forward and direct it. The first recorded design of a hovercraft was in 1716 by a Swedish designer named Emanuel Swedenborg. The first commercial hovercraft carrying passengers was operational in 1962 in Whales and by 1968 the first car-carrying hovercraft was developed to transport vehicles across the English Channel. It could hold up to 30 vehicles and 254 people.
This free video series will show you detailed instructions on how to create your own homemade hovercraft as a fun and cool science experiment using everyday items in your home. It will show you exactly what supplies you will need to build it and how to assemble and demonstrate it.
