Are there any old ads you can link to on YouTube for this thing? I wanna see!
Here is the Typhoon II
All lies. The fans couldn't push the thing without a polished smooth surface. You see it spinning? Think about where the fans are, because that's the only steering it had.
Kid I knew 25 years ago had one. Actually kinda worked on an indoor pool, which was neat, but definitely didn't work for shit on the sidewalk. Basically, it didn't work at all in any sort of wind and barely worked on anything rougher than linoleum
I got burned by this too. I feel your pain.
Dad figured out that if we hosed the concrete driveway, it made a better seal, and handeled bumps and impetfections better.
It was a glorious 3 minutes before the water started to seep in to the concrete quickly. The Typhoon nosedived and tore its skirt.
0/10 would not hovercraft again.
Maaaan I remember these ads! Thanks for sharing.
