A couple years back, I got some RC parts and a couple EDFs to build a hovercraft. Didn't work, so put them in a box and left them. Until Now. Turns out, my ESCs didn't power the receiver. So, I've ordered two that actually will, plus they have more margin in terms of amperage. I've figured out a way to test the motors though, before the new ESCs get here. They work wonderfully and terrifyingly. I might try making a "jet" RC skateboard that is entirely controlled by two EDFs using differential thrust. Imagine seeing a skateboard holding nothing but a pile of batteries and wires speeding down the street at what looks like 50 MPH! (I won't do it in the road. Why don't we do it in the road? Because the thing could explode, or hit some cars, or be hit by cars.)

Maybe I'll just wait and do the hovercraft. Also, I feel like a big tail section with a tail mounted camera would look pretty great and produce a great view. Already have an action-cam that would fit the bill.

 

I'll probably post my results when whatever happens happens.
