Remember when comic book technology was fantastic and impossible? Well, if you haven't seen it yet (It's around a year old now), we apparently have Goblin Gliders in real life: https://youtu.be/WQzLrvz4DKQ?t=1m37s That's not one of those water ones that lift people on out-of-control fire hoses (although it's made by the same people who invented those)... it's a full-on flying engine that the rider stands on. It set the world record for hoverboard flight distance, and is supposed to be capable of going speeds approaching 100mph. | |

This was the home-made contraption that held the record before that jet engine one above beat it. It seems like the guy strapped a bunch of commercial drones to his feet. So instead of the roar that other one must have made, this one sounds like a fleet of angry weed-wackers coming for you: https://youtu.be/Bfa9HrieUyQ | |

Technology and spec-fic seem ever-more interlocked, anymore, certainly. I do wonder if we'll ever learn if Visionary is truly fake, though. |
