Hover Boards - Skateboards of the Future and Carbon Nano Tube Construction
The skateboards of the future will be hover boards and if they are to fly they will need to be made out of lighter materials. What materials might they be made of? Chances are they will be made of Carbon Nano Tube construction or ultra-light weight composites. Most plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene are way too heavy and wood simply won't work. This means the current manufacturing processes that are used to make skateboards will h Read More... -
Making Skateboards of The Future Fly
When trying to make any object fly one needs to employ the sciences of physics and aerodynamics and it sure pays to know a little about engineering as well. When looking at building the first flying skateboard which would be fully controllable by the rider just like a high-tech skateboard we looked to our Online Think Tank for answers. Indeed in doing so there seemed to be a few schools of thought looking at solving the problem. At first we noti Read More...
