Hi there i was thinking about trying to build a light hovercraft that can transport one person and I had a few questions about the propellers and motors and how they work.
The first question is, is it possible to run a hovercraft with an enclosed fan, for example like that found in a jet ski, where it would suck air in and then propel out the back?
The second is regarding the propeller, for the idea above, would the blades have to be a certain size to work effectively or would a small propeller suffice?
The third, what size motor would I need if I didn't want it to go any faster than 15/20mph, and could the engine be electric and would it need gears?
thanks
kind regards
