====Non-transportation==== The [[vacuum cleaner#Constellation|Hoover Constellation]] was a spherical canister-type [[vacuum cleaner]] notable for its lack of wheels. Floating on a cushion of air, it was a [[Home|domestic]] hovercraft. They were not especially good as vacuum cleaners as the air escaping from under the cushion blew uncollected dust in all directions, nor as hovercraft as their lack of a skirt meant that they only hovered effectively over a smooth surface. Despite this, original Constellations are sought-after [[collectibles]] today. The [[Flymo]] is an air-cushion [[lawn mower]] that uses a fan on the cutter blade to provide lift. This allows it to be moved in any direction, and provides double-duty as a mulcher. The [[Marylebone Cricket Club]] owns a "[[hover cover]]" that it uses regularly to cover the pitch at [[Lord's Cricket Ground]]. This device is easy and quick to move, and has no pressure points, making damage to the pitch less likely. A [[power trowel]] is a hovercraft device used for skimming concrete.
