hi all
now i think it's time to present you
my application of as pure as possible lego hovercraft

http://republika.pl/pixsrv/lego/hovercraft/

i've got 5 movies in mov format
but my site is too small
so if someone has some room for my movies...
all of them have 19.3M

the only one tricky point is power
i use here 12V instead of 9V
sorry about that but maybe next version will need only 9V

Steve Baker RULEZ!!!
his advices was so creative for me

i spent whole night from fri to sat
and at exactly 7:00 hovercraft starts flying

1. no calculation has been done
2. no measurement has been done
that is the real fun with lego

best regards to all hovercraft builders

(...) there's hope to achieving a nearly 100% lego solution. I've been playing with a prop design some, and despite not testing it yet I thought I'd post it in case it generates some other ideas, and see if anyone has any engineering knowledge on (...)
