She-ra Posted May 22, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2015 For years we've been trawling the internet for the first working hoverboard that delivers on all our 'Back To The Future' dreams. Well that search is now over, we've found it, and it just set a Guinness World Record. Remainder of article here: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/05/22/genuine-hoverboard-sets-a-guinness-world-record-for-furthest-distance-travelled_n_7419896.html?utm_hp_ref=weird-news&ir=Weird%20News I love this. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rather obscure Bassoon Posted May 24, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 24, 2015 How come they didn't have toys like this when I was young enough to be crazy enough to want to play with it?...

Sundew Posted May 24, 2015 #7 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I don't understand; where is the power coming from ? Probably from a scaled down version of the Flux Capacitor, I hear they can generate quite a few gigawatts. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shayde Posted May 25, 2015 #10 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Oooh... I could use this to replace bulbs on the bloody huge chandelier at work! Well, we'd get complaints about the racket it makes, but it would flaming beat having to climb the ladder! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorvir Posted May 27, 2015 #14 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't understand; where is the power coming from ? It's powered by the self-esteem of the user. And aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indstr Posted June 12, 2015 #15 Share Posted June 12, 2015 The reason he's doing it over water is so he doesn't get as hurt when it crashes. This tech probably has a long time to go before it is safe for everyday use. Very cool though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
