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.
