Awesome Hovercraft

Ahead of the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix, Oracle Red Bull Racing drivers Max Verstappen and Checo Perez challenged Scuderia Alpha Tauri teammates Yuki Tsunoda and Daniel Ricciardo to some desert racing in hovercrafts. While their fan-powered vehicles only make 26.5 horsepower, they look like the most fun you can have under 30 mph.

The guys from Russia’s Garage 54 are usually trashing cars for fun and profit. But in this video, they decided to build a form of transportation from scratch – a flying carpet-slash-hovercraft. It lifts off the ground using 10 car heater fans powered by a pair of big batteries. It looks like a ton of fun gliding across the snow.

A dramatic upgrade to the eons-old wheelbarrow, this fan-based device will let you carry heavy loads up to 350 pounds and turn on a dime while minimizing tip-over risk. We wish it came with that Robocop looking dude too.

A limited edition replica of Bubba Watson’s BW1 hovercraft golf cart. It has a 65hp engine and can hover forwards and backwards while making minimal noise. Can’t afford it? Don’t worry: the cart will also be deployed in golf courses soon.

We may not have hoverboards yet, but thanks to pro golfer Bubba Watson, Oakley and Neoteric Hovercraft, we now have a hover golf cart. It can go anywhere and actually does less damage to the green compared to human feet.

Matthew Riese doesn’t need roads. He built this DeLorean Hovercraft by hand with the help of the people who backed his Kickstarter fundraiser. His ride was featured during a break at an MLB game.

Universal Hovercraft’s UH-18SPW Hoverwing is a flight-capable hovercraft kit. Yes, a flying hovercraft. It can go as high as 10 feet off the surface of the water, and a max speed of 75 mph.
