Where's my hoverboard?

Right here where they have been for years.

Uh, who says we don't have flying cars?

Me, I don't have one.

You see, the futurists of the 1950's envisioned an era when nearly everyone would be flying a car.

The only thing preventing me from buying mine is the FAA saftey process, which is REALLY slow.

Boy, I'd say. But I doubt regulatory issues are the only thing that keeps us from having flying cars. There are infrastructure considerations as well. Unless we ban all of the cars in the US so we can use the current roads for runways, we are seriously short on landing space.

And, really - don't you think that half a century is long enough to get the technical wrinkles out of flying cars?

Remember jet packs? Those were supposed to be the future of personal transportation too. But they do exist and have for decades. But the reason we don't use them is because they are too costly to operate for the miles traveled. I suspect that is the real reason we are not using flying cars too.

Check the FAQ section for the M400 model.

They look great. I wish I had one. I'd be streaking though the canyons near my house. What a rush!

Following the link on that page shows a diagram of how it's used -- seems like it runs off 110VAC and involves completing a circuit from your temples to your navel (!!!)

I bet you could accomplish the same effect without shelling out the $590.00 by skipping the middleman and just connecting the outlet directly :)

Wait no more!

This company also sells a flux capicitor for all your time travelling needs.

Just don't come crying to me if it doesn't work.

I don't know about the pizza, but the hoverboard is right here.

Check them out here. They are a bit pricey and heavy too but that's a start :)

They're not solid state, but if all you want to do is blow holes in stuff with light, put some of these on your Hummer...Of course, they also sell these so purchase at your own risk...

It looks like Parks is doing quite well with his light sabres... Has anyone seen some of the other companies selling light sabre replicas? Like Future Horizons or Amazing1.com

I'd be interested to know how they compare in quality of construction, durability, brightness, etc...

Here is a picture of the thing assemled and working, made by Future Horizons in the Anti-grav section
Here is the info on it, here

did you check out the lightsabers? At http://www.futurehorizons.net/saber.htm . Also you can buy anti gravity ships. Oh my. And learn all about new age medicine. Hmm, yeah I'll really get on that hoverboard now......

But then again, they've had that "taser" that ionizes air to allow the transmission of electricity through air for a 2 years. And that's been verified. You never know...
