So You've Always Wanted a Hovercraft... (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on Tuesday May 21, 2013 @06:22AM from the it's-all-about-the-air-cushion dept.

What little boy or girl never wanted a hovercraft? Something loud that could travel over water, pavement, maybe even over a plowed field or through a swamp? Ben King obviously wanted one, so after he grew up and got his PhD in physics and found a good job, he founded Lone Star Hovercraft. Timothy Lord interviewed Ben at the Austin Mini Maker Faire, and we also found some video of Ben flying (is that the right word?) one of his hovercraft on a lake that we spliced into the interview to liven it up a little. Vroom!

I'm not very fond of eels, and I'm afraid my hovercraft might get full of them.

No, flying isn't the correct word. by SoCalChris · 2013-05-21 06:57 · Score: 4, Funny

The word that you're looking for is hovering. As in "hovercraft".
