quite fascinating if this technology is shaping up..! and then we will see people floating in air around the city..! just imagine.. :p but i think it is just a hoax like mentioned above ..! but I can see this type of technology growing in near future..! when bitcoin will dominate the world .!

No its not anti gravity..! but we all know we can beat gravity by using technology.. aren't those Planes are flying in air they are not anti gravity but still flying by using technology, this may be a hoax but I'll not get surprised even if i see this thing with my own eyes because it might happen in coming years or maybe a lot earlier because the technology is growing at very high speed, always remember that Hardware stays around 10years ahead of software ..!

I don't think this kind of hoverboard will challenge autos - speed is too limited and everyone is in hurry nowdays.

Even if it is a hoax the technology actually exists to create a real one. It is not really that difficult to make something float like that since there is metal under all concrete then using reverse magnetic technology with an electromagnet would make it float. And depending on the strength of the electromagnet used would determine how much weight it can hold then all you would need to do is find a good way of turning it on and off.

I'm not sure the technology exists fully yet or how workable of an idea it is. It's really not as easy as your explanation.

It doesn't have to be anti-gravity, it just has to have enough force to overcome gravity and some weight on it. You know thats how like airplanes work? And helicopters?

With that thickness and compactness you cannot compare it to an airplane or helicopters without moving parts and that vehicle to payload ratio did not exist yet.

Yeah you can.... just scaled down. Its like saying the huge computers of the 1930's and phones of now are comparable. Perhaps the analogy was stretching the truth, but you don't need antigravity.

2028 - anti-gravity ... maybe :) hell know.

But this is just not too easy to be done.

Anti-gravity must work with magnetism of planet earth ... I do not know what kind of researches are in progress but this is just too SciFi for now ;)

a lap giraffe would be awesome.  possible through genetic modification?

edit:  actually, it would only be awesome for a few minutes.  then it would poop and pee everywhere and have all the other nuisances that come with keeping a furry animal at home.

the one thing from that movie that is being made is the auto lacing shoes.
while its somewhat of a good idea, i dont see it being all that practical.

a hoverboard is a simple design, negative on negative poles = lift.
however you'd have to have a very large grid under you, then on top of that, simply thrusting your foot in air would do nothing more than move air.
you'd still have to touch the ground with your foot to make the board move.

turning would also be impossible since simply moving the board would have zero effect on the direction you would go.
this is why we'll never have hoverboards that aren't at least powered by some propulsion device, like the bulldog or pitbull board biffs son (griff) flew on.

kind of crazy how i remember all their names
