If you're thinking that its going to "fly", I have two words "Moller
skycar". He used 8 Mazda engines. No soap. Not convinced? How 'bout
"Avro Skycar," or whatever they called it. It used two jet engines.
Couldn't clear an 8-foot fence.

Now if all you want to do is stand on top of a surfboard-style
hovercraft, I'd suggest the following:

1 gas-powered leaf blower (31cc is plenty of power)


Yes, a leaf-blower type teeny hovercraft is of course much more sane,
and unlikely to kill you.

Also lots less fun.

However - the moller skycar and this devlice have key differences that
make this somewhat more plausible.

It's got a flight time of 3 minutes.
Everything is off the shelf.
