I just stumbled upon a post I made when I was a kid here (16 then, I'm 33 now). Rudely, seems I never followed up and I can no longer reply in that thread.
Wherever you are today @FredGarvin and @Artman, the hovercraft worked. In fact it worked better than expected and we immediately crashed it into a teacher's car in the parking lot. (Turns out thrust is kind of a huge deal with no friction.) We still got A's. Ours was the only one to achieve lift.
As an adult 17 years later, I still remember the way y'all were so interested in helping me, and all the encouragement. I like to think I'm now paying it forward to the people I mentor and teach.
Thanks and see y'all in another 17 years, granted this planet remains habitable.
