After a lot of investigation into how to make a hovercraft, I put together this mock-up before buying real materials....

So... I'm confused.

You have a platform on top of a bag. You put the garbage can on top of the platform. The bag inflates, and therefore lifting the platform, therefore lifting the garbage can?

Unfortunately, in my definition of 'hoverboard,' a hoverboard is a little different than that. Unless, of course you're just testing out the theory. And even then, a hoverboard that floats in the same spot is pretty useless.

However, if you're attempting to actually build a real, 'hoverboard,' I encourage you to do so, and hope it works out!

if you complete a REAL hoverboard, SELL IT

lol.

xzodia, the creator of this hoverboard, includes a revolutionary design. The funny thing is, he created this futuristic device out of boredom.

I was testing how much air was needed, how stable it was etc

Allright then, good luck!

P.S. A garbage can has different proportions than a human being

>_> It was ment to be an accurate test

You need two flat turbines made out of carbone for the hovering and a plasma jet for acceleration lawl
I want a hoverboard since i saw back to the future :p

Nice hoverboard, so the bag has warm air ?

i'd like to think so, unless he's just inflating the bag? ... (of course it is hot air zachary, you silly ...)

That would make more sense.

Hot air rises. w8....

right?

Yes, hot air rises but its rising effect wouldn't be anywhere sufficient to make any difference other than making the bags hot.

Meh, every little bit helps. But that's up to one's own opinions.

I cut some holes in the bottom to generate lift, then took it downstairs to float a bag of stuff around the kitchen lol

Hmm i think maybe the trick to creating hovering objects is Gravity vs. Pull. You just need something that Can 0 out gravity and the weight of what it is made out of thus making it weigh 0 Lbs But the trick may have to be super powered magnets in this diagram this is how it may work:
But there has to be a load for different forces to push and or pull.

Not too sure on how well this will work but i say that its worth a go.
(i wish i had big magnets!)

This is a hoverboard...
Don't ask me how it works, I got it from Steven Spielberg (Back to the Future II Hoverboard)

Yours is, however, more logical with public technology.

For Hoverboard Alpha 2, I made something with a little more power >_>

Instead of a hairdryer and cardboard I used a leaf blower and a plank of wood XD

It could almost lift me off the ground, if I shifted my weight...but it was still funz

It still doesnt glide very well but I'm looking into it

Dude I've made several real sized hovercrafts. And yes I/you can ride it Ill dig up the plans....

Yeah, I find the antigravity boosters are a bit tricky to hook up.

hahahahahahah...

For some strange reason I can't stop laughing...

Dual leaf blowers and a nice sheet of OSB wood

Design Concept >_>
Even if I don't make it, it's a cool model

Don't forget to put places for your feet to go, and strap them in, so that you don't fall off during flight.

Of course, if the board flips over, you're going with it

That looks like something i dont even wanna mention

yea, you can make a hover board and ride it, it just doesnt hover very high....
there was a mythbusters episode when they made 2 hover boards, one could hover and move on its own.... with 3 leaf blowers powering it.
still, they dont hover more then maybe half an inch off the ground....
