Hi,
Ken Altschuler published an article in the PT in 1989
describing a human hover craft about 3ft in diam powered by
a leaf blower or a shop vac.
I heard that it is possible to make a hover craft with a 
motor powered by 12V DC.
One was 'flying around' at Houston NSTA this spring.
I can't find any references for this design.
Does anyone know anyone who saw the demo and can
give references to these clever folks who levitate on
such low voltage.?
