In 1950 an ordinary but imaginative electrical engineer named Christopher Cockerell began an experiment that was soon to change the world． He came up with an idea to make boats go faster， by using a vacuum cleaner．
Using his wife's vacuum cleaner he was able to reverse the motor so that it blew instead of sucking． The air that blew out beneath acted as a cushion against surfaces． Years later， his principle of cushioned air made it possible for the first hovercraft to be successfully built and tried out． A journey along the Amazon River proved to the world that the hovercraft was both wonderful and useful．
