impressive, i can only see it becoming slimmer, smaller and more efficient. A very good first step

The maximum endurance is 6 minutes, 35 minutes is the recharge time.

What if you happen to touch those turbine holes? Is it safe?

first off damn that music I thought I was watching a feed the poor starving children commercial. now..// yeah man thats pretty cool put some hand rails and vent controls on it and you can take it where you want for 6 minutes I think they should maybe wear hearing protection because its loud as heck....hhhmm thinking about it you might have the same experience from a tire swing in a tree without all the noise and cost Not saying that this is a kin to making a 400 foot toaster that floats on **** but its use is very limited I would think

watching this video was genuinely hilarious. "REVOLUTIONARY".. try harder people. It actually looks staged to me even in some spots... oddest thing I've seen in a while.. almost info-mercial-esque. Anyway, these folks are asking 20k for this thing? and it flies 6 minutes? Surely I can't be the only one though who feels that they literally got levitating for 5 minutes on this thing, and then promptly made this video without due process...?

I can think of a lot better things to do with $20,000.

What happens if you power up a 272hp fan machine in your house? I can imagine lots of sudden blindness, followed by the death of small pets

But what if someone already has everything? I mean this obviously is for those who spend that kind of money like it is nothing.

Just buy a downhill bike, it is also made of composite materials, can go over rough terrain, it also flies and more than this, only needs your own power, costs a third of this, and improves your own endurance in every aspect... believe me I have one.

This appears to be a joke of some kind rather than a real product. Its the most impractical bad idea I've seen in a long time. Did you see all those lipos on the bottom of the board?! That's like a ton of RC aircraft batteries. Those are used for RC hobbies and they just stacked a ton of them down there. That's why it cost so much I bet. If you glued 500 hair dryers to a surfboard, it might hover too.
