Inventor Creates Homemade Hovercraft

New Zealand inventor Rudy Heeman used a gas bottle from the family barbecue, parts from his wife's car, and the control lever from his daughter's motor scooter for his creation. The craft can fly at up to 60 mph at a height of about 5 feet.

Heeman has been building hovercraft in his spare time for over a decade and says he spent over 800 hours and tens of thousands of dollars creating his flying gizmo. According to Heeman, the craft, which can be used on land, would be helpful for farmers: 'You can land in a paddock and you wouldn't have to worry about opening and closing the gates. You just go over them.'
