... Building a hovercraft with household objects. Abstract The coefficient of static and kinetic friction between a board and the ground is very high. Therefore trying to slide this board across the ground would be quite difficult. It is thought that if there is a pocket of air between the board and the ground, the coefficient of friction will go down, therefore the force due to friction also will, and the board will be moved easier. Although the force of friction is essentially impossible to completely get rid of, it can be minimized substantially. With this pocket of air between the board and the ground, the board will glide above the floor with very little friction. This device would be known as a hovercraft, because it is "hovering" above the ground. Purpose To build a functioning hovercraft, efficient enough to carry the weight of a person using household objects. Design The hovercraft will be built using only
