This weekend, make your own GPV. Grocery Powered Vehicles are contraptions that you can make with materials that you can find at your local grocery store. In this podcast, I teach you how to make a simple hovercraft, bearingless motor, and dirigible.

I was inspired by the contraptions on David Williamson’s website to construct these GPVs.

this is interesting. I just wish that I could have been able to see what he did in the video. All that I was able to make out was his voice. Other than that it is preety cool.
