How do you make a science project hovercraft?
Close the top of the sports cap and put the CD flat-side-down on a tabletop. Blow up the balloon and pinch the neck shut so no air gets out. Carefully stretch the neck of the balloon around the closed sports top so the part you drink out of is totally covered. There’s your CD hovercraft!
How does a hovercraft hover science project?
Modern ACVs often have propellers on top that create the air currents. These currents are pushed beneath the vehicle with the use of fans. Surrounding the base of the ACV is a flexible skirt, also called the curtain, which traps the air currents, keeping them underneath the hovercraft.
Can hovercraft go on land?
In this case, with the help of thrust of an air propeller mounted on a hovercraft, a hovercraft can sail on the surface of the water or on the ground with relatively high speed. Being able to be completely out of the water or on the ground, the cushion hovercraft has good amphibious performance.
