BW1
Have you ever been golfing before and had to take the cart path all the time? A famous golfer named Bubba Watson made a customized golf cart. Most people think thats theres not many ways to customize a golf cart. Bubba took it to the extreme.
This is the BW1. First hovercraft golf cart in the world. This thing can go over the ponds and the lakes but most importantly it will not tear up the course. This hovercraft has a foot print pressure 33 percent less than a human. The BW1 cost 58,000 dollars. The hovercraft uses a 65-hp twin-cylinder Hirth engine and a streamlined, sound minimizing fan that promises enough power to reach 45 mph. This powerful hovercraft can fit two golfers and two caddies.
The science behind a hovercraft is simple. In every hovercraft it has a fan to creat a wind tunnel half the wind is used for steering and moving forward and backward, while the other half is used to keep the hover craft off the ground. Hovercrafts can float anywhere from 6" to 108".
