What are other ways of producing a hovering type lift?

Answer 1

This question (like most) has been asked 1000 times before.
-Lighter than air
-mangnaitism
-voodoo antigravity
-Compressed air
-etc.

Answer 2

Other ways as opposed to....

Hovering type of lift can be achieved in many ways. Hovercrafts using a strong, directional downdraft of fan created wind, a helicopter's blades forcing air from above to be directed downward, thereby lifting the helicopter...

What else do you need?

**Edit**
There is also the possibility of magnatism being used to create a hovering affect, but how you could travel over non-magnatized ground, I have no idea. Think, for example, of the movie back to the future 2. The hoverboards? Those used powerful magnets to keep the board 3 - 5 inches off the ground, what they did not explain is what the magnets were pushing against.. Not sure how something like this could be made.

Answer 3

There is only one way of producing a hovering type lift as the late great Isaac Newton said "for every action there must be an equal and opposite reaction". Your backside is pushing down on your chair with the total sum of your weight, the chair pushes back up with the same amount of force, therefore you are experiencing a hovering type of lift.
In water the force is spread out equally in all directions as prescribed by Boyle's law, therefore there is not an equal and opposite force and you sink.

Every aircraft, gismo, antigravity machine or rocket must use this principle if it is to fly.

Answer 4

This is one of the method of Hovering Lift that actually works.
