Hover craft how do I get it to work?

INDEED i was only kidding though it is my fault I didn't make it obvious...( universal PHD...) but if you go to this website http://www.mahopac.k12.ny.us/mhs/teachers/finnertyk/Hover%20Craft/The%20Theory/The%20Theory.htm then you will see that they built a skirt for the hovercraft.

We got the joke about the PhD. Brewnog doesn't let on when he's kidding either.
I misunderstood what you were talking about until you provided that link. I took the liberty of sketching up what I think is the answer you're looking for. The skirt is a flexible bag surrounding the plenum area. If you're making a really small circular jobbie, you could glue a bunch of bike tire tubes together in a stack and partially inflate them. Just tilt it to let more air out of one side when you want to move. I'll pop back in here once in a while to see how you're doing. Good luck.

A quick and dirty HC can be built in minutes by Using a gas powered yard blower mounted atop an over inflated innertube. By taking a little more time and to add rigidity, you can fiberglass the 'ducted' part, center,by laying the glass directly onto the innertube and adding struts top support engine..
My friend built one like this for Gallager the comedian. Gallager used this mini HC as a hockey puc for an electric horse that Brian built as well.

The main problem with that is that the plenum area is extremely small, resulting in very little lift. Keep in mind that the lift is pressure times plenum area.
I wouldn't mind learning more about that electric horse. It sounds intriguing.

No. That's not how we do things here.
