A while ago, there was the Hendo hoverboard, THIS ONE. That used a magnetic field and everyone was excited as we thought


"Back To The Future was right, we will get hoverboards in 2015"


 


Well, the Guinness World Record for the longest flight on a different form of Hoverboard to date has just been set and was created by a single person.


Catalina Alexandru Duru traveled 905 feet and 2 inches (275.9m) with what looks like a fan powered hoverboard/Huge Quad-copter, which also


hovers considerably higher than the Hendo Hoverboard at a staggering 16Ft in the Air.


The test flight took place over Lake Ouareau in Quebec, Canada. So unlike BTTF, this one works over water.


 


My thoughts.


 


I am truly amazed at this. The fact that someone has managed to create a yet another, different prototype of a hoverboard and had a successful flight


really excites me. The fact that Personal Flight Devices such as the one Mythbusters built (can be found by searching YT for "mythbusters jetpack". I'm not linking it since the only one I can find is a full episode), have been proven to not be viable with then technology and seeing this now...


I really want one of these. Sure they are a long way off from production, if it ever does that is, but the future is looking hopeful for hoverboards.


 


Your thoughts, please leave them down below!

Can't wait to cruise down the street with a hoverboard, not needing to push it and with speed-maintaining technology

Longboarders/ skaters message me!

I don't care if you are right or wrong... someone will come around and correct you if you are wrong. What people need to realize is that we need to step up as a community and get above the pathetic fights and bickering. Share knowledge, be friendly, enjoy your stay.

He also forgot to mention if you dont know about the topic then dont make stuff up. Dont claim fake or assume things just by reading the title, Read the post. It doesnt matter if you made 3,000 as it could be mostly crap...

Pretty cool but would never make it into the wild.

In the words of James "Capt. Slow" May..

If you rocked up at the health and safety department in 2009 and tell them you've had the idea of putting men in a metal box with an engine and fuel and make them go at 150Mph+ with nothing except the driver to stop them crashing and/or exploding you'd be laughed out of the building

Imagine what they're gonna say about us flying around on drones with no attachment to the device or safety net when we fall.

it is probably very loud. although I imagine if they get it to hover for a long time (3-5 hours) they will start focusing on noise levels. like with everything that is powerful and makes terrible noise. work out the kinks, then work out the noise.

You can hear the propellers humming quite loud in the video. Sounds like five vacuum cleaners all going at once.
