Hover Bike

I am a big fan of hover technology and want to share this break through with a hover bike.

It kind of reminds of a speeder bike from Star Wars.

Air Boards / Hover Boards

So I was driving to a ski resort to snowboard with my girlfriend and it was 50 degrees. My thoughts as I drove with the A/C blasting, were "I am going to loose 10 pounds in sweet today" and "What were thinking? It's way to warm to be doing this". As I rolled down the window to let some fresh air in, I started thinking about the movie Back to the Future and those crazy cool air boards they had in the movie. We arrived at the ski resort and went snowboarding, threw some snowballs at each other and sweated are butts off. We ended up going home early, so I hopped on Google to do a little research on air boards.

I found a website on how to create an airboard http://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Hoverboard . It's sounds super easy, reasonably inexpensive (criagslist) to do. Here's a calculator that I found super handy to calculate dims,lift,and power http://www.rqriley.com/hc-calc.html.
