Annals of Invention–Personal Hovercraft: Meet the Hov Pod (the marketing department must be staffed by engineers…). It could be useful for anyone who wants to skim across really shallow water or over hard sand. Here are the vital stats:

Top Speed Water 40 mph – 60 km/h

Cruise Speed Water 25 mph – 50 km/h

Fuel tank 25 litre

Cruise fuel consumption 10 – 15 litre/hour.

Weight Payload (on water start) 250Kg.

Options include Intercom Kit Fast unload Trailer, Custom Cover.

The retail price of the Hov Pod is £14,750 plus VAT (about $23,000)

And it looks like it could even be fun. But there is only one real question to ask: is there any chance it could wipe out the most noxious, annoying, combustion-powered device ever invented….yes, the JetSki? If so, I love this thing.
