What do I use to "lift" a hovercraft? Electric fan or gas blower?
I'm building a small hovercraft, and I'm looking at the CFM of certain fans and blowers. There is a blower on sale at Home Depot that can move about 500 CFM. Many people have used blowers with success. However, a shop fan from Harbor Freight can move over 7000 CFM and is electric 1 2 horsepower . Is there any reason I should not use a big old shop fan? Would the fan have any problems for any reason? Am I missing something? I'm trying to figure out a setup to run a fan off of a gas engine using an alternator and battery , and would appreciate feedback.
