MetricUSA Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 So many tried and failed, and sadly we have Chinese naming products have no idea what they are talking about... Here is true hoverboard... https://vimeo.com/149930274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeta_han Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Interesting stuff metric, but looks quite expensive. What you think about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UygdBUspkyE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you think about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UygdBUspkyE Nope, it did not lift the rider. What we need is a device that runs using magnetic levitation. Calling all E.T.'s. Kindly help our species. We need a real hoverboard. But seriously, this one flies better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Wright Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 He is basically standing on a Drone.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeta_han Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 SlowMo, that looks quite dangerous and requires a lot of skills to ride with a huge energy consumption(only 1 minute and a half). btw, that is creating enough lift for the rider, it's true, only 1mm from the ground, but if go higher you loose the ground effect and become a flying machine(I think we already have better flying machines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoteB Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I just found nice review on hoverboards available in USA here http://hoverboard.la/ with all pros and cons for different types. Also, hoverboard accessories review is available on same blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colestien Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 My Girl Alice posted a link to a drone you might want to look at. There is a video on that page somewhere http://www.gizmag.com/ehang-184-aav-passenger-drone/41213/pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 That concept is good. The problem is it accommodates only one passenger. Then the rider should also be an expert helicopter or fpv drone pilot otherwise he would crash it on the first ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colestien Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Good bad thing... They are claiming it is computer ran. Pull up a screen, and punch in where you want to go...then set back. Crazy to say, but I like and hate that part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowMo Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Here is the promo video for this drone, the autonomous flight controller should be foolproof otherwise the passenger would get lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeta_han Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Same concept, a man standing on multicopter drone. Extremely dangerous and I believe in this century this kind of vehicle will not be accepted(read FAA regulations), but it could definitely work, of course with a huge energy consumption and will behave worse than a classic helicopter.
