Summer Fun

Getting some nice images from Hov Podders having fun now that the sun has returned.

A couple of passengers "Catch the Wind" and get to drive the Hov Pod for themselves.

Hovercraft for ice fishing

Global warming places ice fishing enthusiasts at risk of death of drowning or hypothermia. As snow melts into lakes, the fresh water acts to force the heavier salt water to the bottom of a frozen river or coastal lake. The salt water forces warmer water from the bottom of the lake to the surface to melt the ice. Overnight snowfall obscures the risk of thin ice to snowmobile users; falling through the ice can be pretty devastating, if the shock doesn't get you, the icy water can induce shock, heart attacks or hypothermia. Hov Pod Hovercraft fly over the surface at a height of 9 inches, so can take snow, ice and water in their stride. The new SPX version has fantastic buoyancy, will take over a ton, and Hov Pod offer a range of 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines for on water payloads of up to 375 Kilos, seating for three adults, speeds of up to 45 mph. Great for fishing, rescue and homeland security. For more information, see http://www.hovpod.com/

Hovercraft on beats snowmobiling or skating on thin ice! Reach your lake side cabin whatever the weather!

Flying without wings

Since early man witnessed the ability of early sparrow, he has always wanted to shrug off earth’s gravitational force, and fly. Still some way to go in evolution terms, we need to loose a little weight and grow some feathers, wings and stuff, but being an ingenious type of creature, it wasn’t too many millions of years until man invented flight by artificial means.

Early flight pioneers tried emulating the graceful antics of the butterfly, before settling on wings and eventually jet propulsion. But flying for Joe Public is sort of expensive and complicated, and a tad dangerous should you forget what you get taught at flight school.

For those who want to fly without wings, a new generation of personal hovercraft allow you to levitate and go. The Hov Pod was designed to make hovercrafting popular and affordable for everyone. Hov Podding, as some people call this new sport, allow driver and two adult passengers to fly at speeds of up to 45 miles per hour over any flat surface.

The advantage over Jet Skis and boats is that you don’t need to wait on tidal conditions, just turn the key, rise on up, and away to go, over the beach or slipway. No problems with sand, mud, submerged rocks (no propeller in the water). You fly at a height of 8 inches and with such a light foot print that you could fly over a plate of uncooked eggs without cracking any – try that in a quad bike. Hov Podding over land might involve desert or sand dune racing, ice and snow; Hov Podding redefines “all-terrain”

Hov Podding is exhilarating. Glide on a cushion of air, without any wheel friction and without the bumps you experience with boats as you crash into waves. Float off someplace to where other folk find it impossible to go, try graceful turns, or 180s and 360s on your anti gravity, levitational hover car.
