Have you cleared doubts about using solar as a power source for it?

What progress have you made in the time that has passed?

the power source cant be solar as we aint sure to overflow a river only in day time so that would be a battery powered no doubt, else cells can be prefered as new tech but i just wanna know the load carrying capacity and balancing tacts as hovrcrft wont be in flat surface.......

I doubt seriously that solar power is viable, now or ever.

What causes floods? Rain.

Where does rain come from? Clouds.

What do clouds do? The hide the sun.

So what does one do on cloudy days when the need the trusty hovercraft?

You've apparently made no progress on this for over a year, now. I'd look for another project, or devise a solar panel that can generate electricity with a cloud cover.

it sounds like a good idea. no one will be in danger other than the vctims. i'm being sarcastic of course. i idefiinately would consider the men on shore contolling it to be a bit gutless., but thanks for caring.

Why would you, posting to this thread anonymously, "consider the men on shore contolling it to be a bit gutless., "? Please explain.
