Inspired by Iwo's Ducted cooling fan: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5756
The idea was to use a PC cooling fan and some printed ducting to make a printable hovercraft. Initially I choose a classic hovercraft design, fan at the back mainly for thrust with some air split from the flow and directed through some ducting to the skirt. Unfortunatly I couldnt get anywhere near enough air down the ducts supplying the skirt.
Then after a discussion with a friend I came up with the current design.
