OK, I know a few of you are relatively young and such, but think about physics for a moment, only using what you know from the word around you and things you’ve seen, not things you’ve learned in school or by watching television.
How could that possibly work? How could a plastic skateboard without wheels possibly float like that? Sure you could do it with mag-lev technology, but the results in the video are just completely unbelievable under any circumstances.
I’m all for a sense of wonder and hope, but come on now… Don’t let yourselves be fooled by celebrity, apparent credibility, or anything else along those lines. Videos like this are created as jokes and to showcase what is possible through clever editing. Actually letting yourself believe that things such as this are legitimate, even only long enough to ask people on the internet about it, puts you in a very vulnerable position regardless of how light-hearted the actual event is.
I’m pretty sure all of us knew this was fake. Lol. I was making fun of the video.
Yeah… Thats what I was talking about.

They just posted a picture on their Facebook. It said “THE HOAX, IS A HOAX” wonder what that means,…

well if they used super conducting and then geo-locked the magnets it could work, but both are hard to do physics wise

But what if they reproductated the biothermic equilibrium and created a magnetic vendershield?

And add a few drops of asdfghtianfdjahaibrium
This could be possible through quantum levitation, but to do it at such a large scale would be impossible currently. But, If you love quantum mechanics, quantum physics, and you have nothing better to do…

Looks like it was made by combining unobtanium with a good bit of balonium. Works every time…
I think it may have a core of hardtoobtainium as well.

They posted a picture that said “THE HOAX IS A HOAX” and today they uploaded a picture of their Billboard. IM SO LOST

Take a look at what they claim to have. If you had an energy source like that, would you be screwing around making skateboards?
Still, wow…
Are you being serious? We would have found the holy grail of science and you think we should make skateboards? Wow…
Some say its a praylude to a new up coming Back To The Future movie.

Implying longboards aren’t skateboards.

now imagine an entire city floating because of it. Coughcolumbiacough
well, for one thing, you could get rich generating essentially free power and force the whole world into servitude.

That sounds no where near as fun as riding a hover board

When do they say it’s coming out? (I still want one of the boards to put in my room and hang from nanofilament)
