you could do it hover craft style or water jet are style. But if you find away to get micro natonic plasma energy let me
know.
And there another guy who's making a ghost but its a red blue down hill car.

you could probably do something like that idk if it would work

awesome idea but to go on the cheap side get alot of vacuum cleaner motor like the mythbusters, it worked pretty good 4 them and 2 cheap leaf (light) blowers 4 thrust. the cardboard idea is good and the skirt thing the myth busters did. this is all my opinion but i might try this. tell me if it works plz lol good luck man, good luck

So as you guys may have seen, I'm building the Ghost Down Hill Racer in another one of the threads.

I've also built a hovercraft in middle school using two leaf blowers and a huge tractor tire.

Our hovercraft got about 3mm of lift without a passenger and about 1-2 mm lift with a light middle schooler as a passenger. You're welcome to try to make a cardboard version, but I personally think you'd end up being disappointed.

I'll tell ya, building full scale is a ton of work and it's not easy.

However, I'm putting serious consideration into adding a go-cart engine under the hood of our cart after the Red Bull Competition. It would require a serious financial investment and quite a bit more work, but I think it'd be pretty darn cool to cruise around in your own personal ghost. Any "Gear-Heads" have any input into making it work and how much it'd cost?

Also, I've considered selling the cart on e-bay after the race or after putting an engine in it. How much do you think people would be willing to spend on something like that? Any ideas? Maybe I should make a mini poll.

Dude, if I had a spare million dollars I would TOTALLY spend it on your Ghost . I would sell my kidney and probably my right leg just to ride in it....
