Hello.
This is my second blog for this month as we are now in the present of Hovercrafts. A new brand of hovercraft is the Mercier-Jones "Supercraft". This baby is known as the Bugatti Veyron of Hovercrafts. It is a hefty price of $$75,000 so you better be saving up money for it. It goes 80mph (128kph) which is really fast for a water and land vehicle. The company was founded in 2013 and is selling today. An image is posted below of this blog to see how fricken sweet this looks. I have researched a website of a man and his diaries of when he was on a hovercraft. The page also has a little place where he tells you tips on building Hovercrafts. A hovercraft would break and come to a stop. There is a part where it talks about electromagnets and if the hovercraft had circuits and those would store energy generated by the speed of the hovercraft. If you wanted to brake you would have to close the circuit using a switch and stop the electrics flow into the fans blowing you forward and slowly bring you to a stop. An easier way would be to drop an anchor and stop immediatley. Although you could hit someone with the anchor and it would be a hassle to put it back into the hovercraft, not to mention that anchors are obsurdly heavy and would make it so your hovercraft would go reeeeealy slow.
This has been my 5th blog for genius hour.
Goodbye.
