They recorded this in Nice, France .. was there when they recorded
But , this nothing new .. BMW motorcycle has something similar since 10+ yrs .. Toyota just repackaged it

I like it. It has three wheels, but tilts like a bicycle. If they make a version with a convertible top, they could probably sell quite a few in the states.

Can a design ever be truly successful if it does not facilitate blowjobs?

I see your rocking van and I raise you an electrohydrodynamic thruster. Ion drives for airplanes, baby!
Although it's more likely to end up in your laptop cooler than in your trans-continental jetliner.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 122013.htmNow researchers at MIT have run their own experiments and found that ionic thrusters may be a far more efficient source of propulsion than conventional jet engines. In their experiments, they found that ionic wind produces 110 newtons of thrust per kilowatt, compared with a jet engine's 2 newtons per kilowatt. The team has published its results in the Proceedings of the Royal Society.

Interesting; but wouldn't the device generate a powerful electromagnetic field that could interfere with the operation of the computer?Taboo wrote:I see your rocking van and I raise you an electrohydrodynamic thruster. Ion drives for airplanes, baby!

Sukhoi Su-35 'UFO' fighter in Paris Air Show
Su-35 dubbed “UFO” for its maneuverability .. perform all kinds of stunts, including
Pugachev's Cobra,
the Frolov Chakra,
the Dead Leaf,
and the unprecedented Pancake, which is an horizontal 360-degree made turn without losing speed.

I would not like to drive one of those. Weight distribution critical, no chance of emergency landing on a normal length runway and more drag & turbulence than a gay cabaret in the Bible Belt.Typhoon wrote:Flying train concept unveiled

This idea has been around for over a century. Would be wonderful to see it built.

Hyperloop | Version Alpha
First quick glance:
1/ Does not require a hard vacuum in the tube unlike previous [Rand and ET3] proposals [see above].
2/ Suspension - levitation is not magnetic, but air bearing based.
Not my field, but seems to make sense. Probably worth someone's time to build a working model . . .
