You see all over Phunbox these crazily-complicated hovering machines/flying contraptions. But when you go and ask how to make something hover, you get nothing. Well, I've discovered how to make a simple hoverbase, on which (a big one) you can hold a 2kg box on it and it will hover, while on the hoverbase! Another great thing about the hoverbase is you can transport it anywhere! Save it as a Phunlet, it just may come in handy when making things float in midair!! Here we go!!

Before I start, if you would like to download my already-made one, it can be found on Phunbox

1. Make a long but thin rectangle. About 1 cm thick, and 20cm long, if you put a ruler up to your screen.

2. Change the density of the rectangle to as far down as the slider will go. (0.00010kg)

3. Now, make another rectangle 3x as thick as the one you made in step 1, but only about 9cm long if you hold up a ruler, again. Don't change the density of it. It should be 2kg, the default.

4. Clone that rectangle, and turn the clone 90 degrees, so it is now perpendicular to the original. Make the new rectangle 0.00010kg.

5. Make another rectangle, this time from scratch. Make it about 1cm vertical and 0.7cm horizontal. Again with the ruler and the screen!

6. Clone it, and stretch the clone about 3x the length of the original. Make both these rectangles 0.00010kg.

6.25. Position the small rectangle along the bottom edge of the cloned 3x as big one. (Trying to make it in more detail, not caring if it's bad English)

6.5. Now the small rectangle should not be hanging out into thin air, but overlapping the 3x as big one entirely so there are no hanging parts.

6.75. Fixate them together.

7. Clone the rectangle package you just put together and put them off to the side.

8. Make a circle, with an area about 0.09m squared. You can find this number in the information menu when you right-click it. Make the density of it 0.0011kg.

9. Now, with all your parts, and take the first rectangle you made in step 4 (the one that has a really low density) and position the bottom across the center of the circle. Right-click the circle and under 'Geometries.....' click 'add center hinge'.

10. Take the rectangle you made in step 3 (the 2kg one) and center it along the top edge of the rectangle you just attached to the circle. Make sure a little bit of the vertical rectangle pokes up through the top of the horizontal one. Fixate those two rectangles together.

11. Take one of the packages of rectangles you made in step 7 and hang them over the horizontal rectangle you put together in step 10. Fixate them together.

12. Do the same to the other side with the other package.

13. Fixate the entire T shaped thing's left top corner to the left corner of the long rectangle you made in step 1.

14. Clone the entire thing except for the long rectangle you made in step 1 and bring it to the empty side of the step 1 rectangle. Fixate it there similarly.

15. (OPTIONAL) Put a directional controller on it with acceleration 3.77. It seems slow, but it's fast, really!

Have Phun!!
