Scrapheap Pilot
Hovercraft
 
 
 
Monty's team in yellow are Monty,
Dave, Averill, Jonathan & Amber
Donna's team, in orange, are Donna,
Ros, Casper, Gareth & Anne
 
 
One way to build a hovercraft is to
use 2 fans.  One for thrust and one
for lift
Another way is to use one big fan
in a duct to force air out the back for
thrust and underneath for lift
 
 
A moped engine should make a fine
lift engine
Casper gets reckless on his quad-bike
 
 
Donna's team strike gold with a
giant engine
Here's the breakdown.  I'm sure
some of those will change
 
 
The judge is Bob Beech
This is neat.  The 'figuring board' is
plexiglass and the camera takes a

Will an inner tube make any sort of
decent skirting material?
More lethal-looking scrap.  This
is a dangerous show
 
 
This coupler will be used to attach
fan blades to the engine
Donna is very confident as Anne
looks doubtful
