yea those are easy as ---- we made one in shop class when i was in high school we just used thick plastic and duct tape and poked holes all through it about the size of a cell phone antenna......and then used a vacuum cleaner....had a cord so you could only go as long as your extention cord....just becuase noone brought in a leaf blower......but yea they are easy and pretty cool to make

We built one in physics class, it was pretty fun for awhile... we proved it didnt work down stairs, even when loaded with a lightweight mexican kid at high speed...

It might work on water as long as you can keep the pocket of air under it. I guess the only way to find out is to try it.
