  This video is likely to inspire anyone who has ever wished they could have their own hovercraft. An inventive New Zealand mechanic has made one for himself, and it's an engineering marvel. Check out this feature on the amazing machine.

  Yeah no Americans invented that technology. Universal HoverCraft has been selling bolt on wing Hovercraft that use ground effect for years and years, namely the UH-18SPW Hoverwing, and the UH-19 Hoverwing models, and I guarantee that the -19 model is far superior than this hunk of shit. It has a top speed around 100 mph as a regular hovercraft, and close to that in ground effect. http://www.hovercraft.com/content/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=54 http://www.hovercraft.com/content/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=54 The video is 4 years old, and the Russians have been using large scale ground effect craft for over 60 years. Deal with it SciDUMP
