A big fan of the Jetsons, engineer Eddie Edwards has designed a personal electric hovercraft. Propelled by a lift fan driven by a lithium-ion battery source that runs one hour between charges, he claims his device can achieve a maximum vertical lift of 5 cm, so long as the rider weighs no more than 95 kg.
Full details of the construction ]

You can always try beefing up the thrust to accomadate the extra weight!!

You can be just like Marty McFly in Back to the Future Parts 2 & 3! Looks more like a cross between a surfboard and a hovercraft though!
I wonder if I can get that Li-Ion battery to work in my K700 though - it might last longer than a day or two

Theoretically they should work on water as they are just smaller versions of hovercrafts.
