In other hover -news, this is the $100 Levitron Revolution. It can levitate any object that fits on its hoverdisk and weighs less than 12-ounces. How? Magic magnets WIZAAAAAARDZ! According to the manufacturers, “The Levitron automatically compensates for changes in weight by making up to 1,000 corrections per second to the electromagnets contained within the base.” Are you thinking what I’m thinking? “Buy 80 and build a hoverboard for your little brother?!” Wow, it really is like you and I share one big, retarded brain. To my basement workshop! “This…is your bedroom.” I’m getting under the covers! Hit the jump for a video demo.

Hover Anything That Weighs Less Than 12-Ounces!

This is a DeLorean hovercraft being built by Matthew Riese of San Francisco . Why build a DeLorean hovercraft? *facepalm* Get out of here for even asking that. I’m serious — I can’t look at you right now. If you’re like me, when you saw the flying Delorean in Back to the Future, you thought, “I want one of those!” I think this dream has been brewing since I thought that as a kid, and a few years ago I decided to just build one. When it is done, the craft will be able to hover on anything flat (asphalt, sand, water, etc), but it will be mostly driven on the San Francisco Bay. The hovercraft is registered with the DMV in California as a boat (it is not street legal). The top speed should be around 45 mph, which is pretty impressive for a vehicle with no breaks You know what else would be impressive for a vehicle with no brakes, Matthew? Being able to stop on a dime. Just sayin’, that would be impressive! Hit the jump for an early build pic and a moderately incredibly boring video with some shots of the prototype in which Matthew tries to convince you to donate some of the $5,500 needed to help fund the project.

But Can It Go 88MPH? A DeLorean Hovercraft

This is some French guy making a little superconductor train out of a bunch of magnets and a cup of magic potion . I have no idea what’s in the magic potion but that won’t stop me from chugging a whole chalice in the hopes of floating. Plus, it even works upside down which is super cool because I’ve always wanted to take a nap on the ceiling. I will drool on you! Youtube Thanks to Rich the destroyer, who destroys because he’s Rich the destroyer damnit, you know who he is!
