Build.A.Hovercraft [On the cheap]
Problem:Younger brother with science project. Was curious about flight but didnt know where to start.
Solution:
Use commodity parts to build cool project that displays the physics behind a hovercraft. The craft is composed of meatpacking trays (thanks to a local grocer), propellers from canabalized propeller planes, and commodity motors from other projects.
