A model hovercraft can be as entrancing as a full size craft!

<br> Click for more information about different kinds of model hovercraft I've
enjoyed building:
<br><br>
<font size= 4> Battery Powered (the easiest option)<br></font>
<font size=4>
<a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/electric.html">My first three battery powered crafts</a><br>
<a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/uhm-23-rc.html"> An RC version of the Universal Hovercraft 23 inch craft</a><br>
<a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/skybot.html">A fast recharging craft - converted airplane toy</a>
</font>
<br><br>
<font size =4> Fuel powered -- using a model
airplane engine</a></font> (the longest running, the smelliest, the noisiest,
the most powerful, and the most exciting option!)<br>
<font size=4>
<a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/nitro.html">A single engine craft </a><br>
<a href="yellow-twin-model.html">A twin engine craft</a> that can
ride over grass (a daunting challenge for small model hovercrafts)<br>
<a href="peripheral.html">A peripheral jet craft</a> Look, no skirt!
</font>
<br>
<br> <font size = 4>Rubber-band powered</a></font> (the silliest option!),<br>
<font size=4>
<a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/rubber-band.html">My first rubber band powered model</a><br>
<a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/rubber-band-mk2.html">A second improved rubber band powered model</a><br>
</font>
<br> <font size = 4><a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/inertial.htm
l"> Simple Flywheel powered</a></font>, <br>
<br> <font size = 4><a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/compressed-air.htm
l"> Compressed Air powered </a></font> <br>
<br> <font size = 4><a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/co2.html">
CO2 powered</a> (whoops - this one didn't pan out!)</font>
<br>
<br> <font size = 4><a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/solar-powered-hovercraft.html"> Solar powered (using photoelectric cells -- this one worked!)</a></font> <br>

Not only is modeling cheaper than a full-size craft, but it is a lot easier to answer one of the
questions people ask most frequently about any hovercraft: <a href="http://www.ils.nwu.edu/~eric/bottom.html">What does the bottom look like?"</a>
