I'm done with flying ducted fans

Remote Controlled Hovering Cyber Surfer RC Hover Board by AOK

To the flat screen blogger readers.

About the ducted fan hoverboard I was planning on building, I've decided to cancel my ducted fan hoverboard project and I'll instead work on a zipline hoverboard, a maglev hoverboard, and the true self magnet hoverboard. Now let me tell you the reasons why I quit the ducted fan hoverboard even the air cushion hoverboard.

1. There are people already working on one or have built one. So that means I don't have to worry about building one myself.

2. It's not safe for most people to ride due to stability issues, mechanical issues, too loud, needs gasoline and could fly out of control and flip people over and can be too heavy to carry around.

3. It can never be street legal and you have insurance to worry about.

4. It won't be popular enough and will be too steep expensive to sell so you can't make much money off of it.

So with that in mind I will not pursue it any further but that doesn't I've given up on the hoverboard dream. I will still make a hoverboard but it will have to work like in Treasure Planet movie. Now here's why you should try making a self magnet hoverboard.

1. There isn't anyone that's working on it except the small hovertech company. So you'll need to study magnets and electricity and how they work.

2. It will be mostly quiet and have very good stability, less maintenance and will be battery powered and people can be in control most of the time and it's light enough to carry around.

3. It has a good chance of being street legal and you don't need insurance for it except when you get real hurt.

4. It can be very popular enough and you can sell it cheap enough to earn enough money to make a living. On top of that you can convert wheel cars into hovercars.

So if I had to choose between a ducted fan hoverboard or a magnet hoverboard I'd go with the magnet hoverboard because I believe magnet waves can be harnessed to float in midair and hover over non magnetic ground. But of course I would have to watch out for iron particles and objects and it may or may not hover over water and snow but we'll see. But hoverboards, hoverbikes, hovercars and hoverboats will come true.
