Bargain Store Project #32 Update Styrofoam Cup Hovercraft

Описание к видео Bargain Store Project #32 Update Styrofoam Cup Hovercraft

This is a minor update to #32. I have added an 'exhaust tube' and a rudder to try to give the hovercraft some directional stability. I found that the position of the batteries made a difference to the direction travelled simply because if I placed them near the front, air could escape under the back pushing it forwards. Using the exhaust tube I tried to give this some direction and I added a rudder to try to trim it.
I use styrofoam cups and plates to make a hovercraft. The motor and fan blade come from an old hairdryer. This is a much more successful project than my previous hovercraft efforts.

My disassembly video for the hairdryer is here

Remember, these bargain stores also sell plenty of toys for £1 or less so the project is not about making a cheap toy. It is about taking something and 'hacking' or 'repurposing' it to do something other than what it was designed to do. I am using bargain store products to limit my initial outlay.

The main components are:
Styrofoam cups and plates
Electric motor and fan blade from a hairdryer

Tools
-
Hot Glue Gun
Hobby knife
