Leaf Blower + Internet = Hovercraft
What happens when nerds have too much time on their hands? They Google random things like how to make a hovercraft. Add a leaf blower, initiative, and some other junk into the mix, and you get what Dean, Carney and Peter made below.
We tested their weekend creation on MindComet's back patio. Indoors, it sounded like a vacuum-powered vuvuzela, but outdoors, it was a lot of fun. They claim to have lifted three grown men!

Is this the future of electric transportation? Maybe not, but over lunch, I caught them chatting about their next design, so watch out for version two!
