Alternative Technology For The Handy Survivor
 

There are quite a number of extremely promising projects to be found at the link below;

Who can say no to their own hovercraft? Now that I have some elbow room I'm going to have to build me one of them. I'll probably want to mount some pneumatic cannons while I'm at it.

Speaking of which I have built some extremely powerful cannons use the exhaust valve technology described on this site. I still like bronze blackpowder cannons for style but a good battery of pneumatic cannons would be more than capable of keeping people out of your yard.

I would welcome links to similar sites from anybody who enjoys this stuff.

ABout fifteen years ago I builded my own hovercraft..... the main problem was that it was to unstable because it was hard to keep in a straight line and specially when making the turns.......

I solved the problem by placing two small wheels on rods at the rear that I could control from the cabin, when making a right or left turn I would lower that wheel till it made contact with the ground and it would turn in that direction..... if the wind was blowing to hard and tried to blow me away I then would lower both wheel till they made contact with the ground and that would keep me in a straight line.

The two wheels were spring loaded so that they were able to go with the flow of the ground.

Never took a patent or an application for it.......
