ive been to xinventions.com and its one of my favorite sites but they fail to explain the technical aspects of building a hovercraft. although i dont mind experimenting with different ideas, i would feel a lot more confortable knowing that my plans actually have a chance of working. and as for the junkyard wars episode, i cant remember who won, but it was pretty close untill one of the driver leaned to far to the side while turning and crashed the side of the hovercraft into the ground. since the hovercraft was fairly light, it stopped on impact bu the driver was a little less fortunate, being thrown into the mud. but one of the team's hovercraft was basicall a jet engine mounted on a foam platform. they used only on propeller that was mounted inside a stripped down turbine engine and diverted half the air to lift the craft. the idea may be similar but i am hoping that our craft will be a little more than a floating platform.
