Abstract
A remotely controlled power float apparatus comprises a horizontally oriented platform supported on a pair of spaced apart, rotationally mounted, floats. The floats each provide a downwardly directed flat surface for moving in contact with, and thereby smoothing, a non-hardened concrete surface. Mounted on the platform is a fan, rotationally adapted for directing a horizontal thrust vector in a variably selectable direction for moving and steering the apparatus over the concrete surface. The floats are adapted for being tilted thereby enabling a variable contact area between the floats and the concrete surface.

A power float apparatus comprising:
- a horizontally oriented platform supported on a pair of spaced apart, rotationally mounted, floats, wherein the floats each provide a downwardly directed flat surface for moving in contact with, and thereby smoothing, a non-hardened concrete surface;
- and, mounted on the platform, (a) a fan, rotationally adapted for directing a horizontal thrust vector in a variably selectable direction for moving and steering the apparatus over the concrete surface;
- and (b) a means for tilting of the floats, thereby enabling a variable contact area between the floats and the concrete surface.
