It hurts my brain that there are people in the world who think this might be real.

Tide? What's a tide? Man, it's 1000 miles to any ocean.

Wireless transportation of electricity over long distances with minimal resistance would be a better invention for humanity and kiters. Think of all the spots that would open up.

Reality check on the Hovr.

It was a VRL campaign.

Lexus did a real hover board, but it requires a specialized track and a bunch of caveats.
