2 more years until hoverboards arrives

Image taken from Popular Mechanics magazines

Hello there, as you know 2012 has passed us by and we're into 2013 and not one single flying hovercar in the sky. Curse it!
Is this the future we were predicting full of flat screen TVs and monitors? Were we also expecting flat screen ipads, ipods and other flat screen tablets? Did we predict we would be driving in wheel cars, and flying in winged airplanes? Also are we going to continue to wear awkward 3D glasses that don't catch on? Sort of but sadly it's not advanced enough. The future we were expecting was 3D hologram projectors like this picture.

This is a 3D hologram projector I was promised we would one day own in our houses. We would be able to enlarge or shrink the 2D flat screen or 3D hologram image. We would have the ability to rotate it around however we want. But did we get one? No in fact people weren't doing enough research on it and if they were they are spending too much money to make it even practical. I hope this year in 2013 we can get our 3D hologram projectors in our homes to watch 3D movies, TV shows and play 3D video games and no more 3D glasses or one angle viewing. And I hope that we'll also get holo-tablets like in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Fast Forward." Now here's the next thing I was waiting for and that's Treasure Planets hoverboard like this picture.

This is a hoverboard, that's right a hoverboard straight from "Treasure Planet" or "Wreck it Ralph"
We were promised hoverboards that would low hover with control and glide on air and be lightweight and easy to carry. Also we were promised hovercars like that in "Pinocchio 3000" or "Meet the Robinsons" that would also low hover and also be able to fly like a helicopter but even better and faster and safer. But instead we are stuck with that crummy air cushion hovercraft and air cushion hoverboard  which is loud and noisy you just have to wear earplugs and it smells of that awful gasoline which you pay lots of money for. Not only that the hoverboards wobble and struggle to hover only to go out of control. Also the ducted fan hoverboards and flying cars just aren't safe or user friendly and they have a tendency to wobble and flip over and fly too much like a bladed helicopter. The Moller Skycar is one good example of a struggling expensive project that hasn't taken off yet. Also the "Inspector Gadget" flying car-plane combo of Terrafugia is trying to sell for a ridiculous amount of $280,000 which most of American citizens cannot afford to buy or risk buying. But right now I don't see any of these flying cars catching on. Even if they do barely sell 1 or 2 of them. We aren't going to see any "Flubber" flying cars in our sky anytime soon.

Today we live in a world where people drive wheel cars with tires rolling on the asphalt road and roads costing money to be maintained every year by construction workers and we drive to the airport just to fly winged airplanes. Also the people in the government waste time on stupid pointless complicated politics which doesn't interest me. Also the people in the Government waste their money away over projects that don't work in the long run.

Everybody listen up, 2013 is here and now is the time to stop wasting our money on 20th century overtime junk and start spending it on hoverboard research, flying hovercar research, and 3D hologram research. If these future gadgets do work, we'll finally be out of the 20th century overtime and into the real "Pinocchio 3000" future world. Don't give up we will have hoverboards, flying cars and 3D holograms into our real world, otherwise we just wasted our time for nothing and denied our kids and grandkids hoverboards, hovercars and 3D holograms.

Where's my 3D hologram projector?

Hi there today I want to talk about the electronic gadget called the 3D hologram projector. We are now in the year 2012 and 3D holograms are nowhere to be found. Let me tell you what a hologram projector is. That's right the electronic sculpture where images float in midair without the restriction of the frame.

Now why don't we have 3D holograms?
I'll tell you why, because Hollywood people are trying to force those awful 3D glasses on us and make us accept them. But you know what it's not going to work. Because 3D glasses make your eyes dizzy, give you headaches, and strain our eyeballs even worse and even give us seizures. 3D viewing glasses wrecks the flat screen picture and makes the moving picture come out watery or double image effect.
Also to people that wear glasses like I do. The 3D glasses don't fit over our normal eyeglasses. And 3D glasses can get lost, stolen, scratched up, dirty and even broken. Not only that there are never enough 3D glasses to go around for people to wear. Also movie tickets get 4 times pricy than a normal ticket for perfect 2D flat screen movies. Also the 3D TVs are freaking expensive and not worth the buy except for HD enhancements for the flat screen.

Why are Hollywood people hanging on to those dorky 3D glasses?
Because people in Hollywood think that people will accept 3D glasses but so far the tread hasn't caught and thank dreams for that.
I don't like movie directors wasting their time with converting 2D movies into the ugly 3D effects. Also don't like it that the Disney company decides to turn their wonderful G rated movies like "Beauty and the Beast" "The Lion King" "Finding Nemo" into those ugly 3D glasses movies. Anyways I hope 3D glasses become a thing of the past. Another thing I don't like is one angle viewing 3D just like on the Nintendo 3DS. It's a little better not needing those dorky 3D glasses. But it is still limited to viewing 3D from one angle just like 3D glasses are.

Will the science fiction dream of a 3D hologram projector come true?
Now the real 3D movies, TV shows, video games, pictures I want to have are like the sculptures in museums being able to view the picture from almost all angles. The idea of a 3D hologram projector has been in movies and TV shows like "Reboot" "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward" "Treasure Planet" "Pinocchio 3000" "Meet the Robinsons". Those are movies and TV shows that show the true 3D hologram projector from the limitations of watching it from a flat screen video projector or flat TV screen. What's amazing about those 3D hologram projectors featured in movies are being able to watch 2D and 3D videos in midair from all 6 angles and people in those movies and TV shows never wear 3D glasses. That's what I want one day.

Now, do 3D hologram projectors exist?

Partly yes because scientist have built them. But unfortunately they are too big and bulky and their images are only in a red color or green color. Also they are freaking expensive costing up to millions and billions of dollars. But as for the small table sized holograms nobody has built one to work like in the movies yet. Right not we have video projectors but the downside is it can only show flat screen images, you need a dark room, and you need a wall it shine it on.

Will 3D hologram projectors ever be in our houses?
The answer is in the future. But as of right now, no. The only way 3D hologram projectors will be commonplace in stores, schools and in our houses is
1. They need to be small as a board game and be easy to carry around.
2. The price needs to be reduced to about $200 to $1000 for the customer to buy.
3. The 3D hologram images needs to movie and be shown clearly like 2D flat screens are.
4. Scientist need to perfect the 3D hologram projector.
5. People need to abandon the 3D glasses.
So in conclusion 3D holograms are not ready yet. Meantime we'll have to be stuck with watching flat screen TVs with frame restrictions. Don't give up hope it will come sooner than hoverboards and flying cars will.

The myths of a Delorean wheel car

I would not want to own a Delorean because
1. It has no CD player and no cassette player or computer features.
2. It's too freaking expensive just look at Terrafugias flying car $279,000 a ripoff.
3. It doesn't go as fast as other wheel cars.
4. It's old and outdated and parts for it are now hard to find and I find gull wing doors very tacky and would fall apart too easily.

Now to dispel the myths of the Delorean.

1. No you cannot time travel in and speeding up to 88 MPH will do nothing except go 1 second into the future as usual and put your life and wheel car at risk of crashing and getting in trouble with the police.
2. No it cannot low hover and fly. Even if it did it would be half a million dollars to own and would be dangerous to fly even crashing in midair and falling to the ground.
3. There's no way to time travel to the past and mess up history because all of us are bound by Gods law of traveling 1 second into the future. So you cannot rewind or fast forward to the future or skip there instantly. And if you did you would be flung into outer space or would be ripped apart and be dead.

In conclusion I would like to say that I'm grateful me and my family never owned one. Besides there are much better wheel cars that are much more reliable and much cheaper and better computer features like flat screen GPS and a CD player.
As for time traveling I'm thankful that no one has time traveled like in the Family friendly movie Meet the Robinsons or like the Super Nintendo video game Chrono Trigger.
But I'm sad I'm not able to go in a flying car joyride curse it. Unless you count the winged airplane or bladed helicopter ride as flying.
So buyer beware, of owning a Delorean you will end up wasting your money and be very disappointed. Buy the wheel cars of the 2010s because they are better. But make sure you need one and make sure it works well for you.

Will we ever get a Flubber Flying car?

Examining the Flying car of Flubber

As you know I liked the 2 Disney movies of The Absent Minded Professor and Son of Flubber starring Fred McMurray. It was great Disney movies back in the early 1960s when Walt Disney and Fred McMurray was alive. But sadly they're now both dead. Anyways this movie was my first inspiration for my Flying car dream since I've seen it on The Family Disney channel back then but now Disney Channel no longer shows it anymore in favor of Teen idol shows. Then the VHS tape came out and I bought the first one. Later the Disney remake of Flubber came Then Absent Minded Professor and Son of Flubber later came out on DVD and I bought both of them. Now lets look at the Flying car and the 3 other Flubber Gadgets that didn't arrive.

Super Jumping Flubber shoes

Ned is a Professor who was supposed to get married to Besty but he never shows up and gets Besty very annoyed with him. And this was because he was too busy with with an experiment with Flubber first failing and then succeeding to the point that his garage blows up but luckily he survives and notices his floating container. He makes a ball and bounces it and it overcomes gravity instead of being pulled by Earths gravity.

Later on he irons Flubber on the heels of shoes for the Medfield basketball team that was losing the game. The super jumping shoes allowed the Medfield basketball players cheat and they won by one point.

Ned also used his super jumping shoes at the dance to win Besty back.

Later Ned demonstrates Alozo Hawk the mean business man how super jumping shoes could save peoples lives but when Mr. Hawk tested out the shoes for himself he couldn't get down and his son Biff had to call the Firefighters to bring him down but they failed. The fisherman tried to bring him down but failed and finally Biff had his football players tackle him down and they succeed.

Later at the warehouse Ned super jumped in an open window to get his stolen flying car back but he had to dodge Mr Hawks men by jumping over them to the point they forced the door open. The super Jumping shoes in Son of Flubber were shown on a film projector at Neds house showing the promise Flubber shoes had.

Now fast forward to the 2010s. Although we do have shoes with bouncing springs in the heels. None have ever super jumped 5 to 10 feet high like Flubber has shown or like in the Super Mario Bros video games.

Weather changing Flubber ray gun
In Son of Flubber Ned uses his Flubber ray gun to cause clouds to rain but in the process he vandalized alot of windows causing car accidents and broken peoples glasses, broke the glass jewelry and broke milk bottles which got Mr Hawk and police after him.

So Far in the 2010s real world no one has ever caused steam or clouds to rain or snow. But we do have cloud seeding that plane pilots fly to cause rain to fall or reduce the hail storm. But none of them work like the Flubber ray gun which we still don't have.

Flubber Gas balloon suit
Also Ned made Flubbergas which Biff and his football buddy was experimenting with so they can win the football game. They were late to the game which their team was losing against. And they made many touchdowns with one flubber suit football player. But near the end the player in the Flubber suit got pumped up like a balloon and floated around until it tore. So the Medfield team used flubbergas in the Football and made a field goal and won the game.
In the real world of 2010s we do not have a way of floating people in suits but there are gliding suits that plane jumpers use but they don't quite slow down the fall. Sorry to say we don't have floating suits like Son of Flubber or in video games Super Mario World, and Super mario 64 ds.

Flying car with Flubber inside.

In The Absent minded Professor Ned Brainard succeeds in making Flubber work and he levitated his metal can even with heavy objects on it. He also got his Model T to fly like a helicopter but with perfect stability. He used his flying car for a test run.

Later Ned drove his flying car to get over to the basketball game. After a win from the game Ned decided to crash land his flying car on Bestys new boyfriend to which caused him to drive reckless and crashed into a police car.

Soon Alozo Hawk tried to buy his flying car but was turned down so he stole the flying car and put it in storage. And Ned tried to demonstrate his flying car but it turned out to be a joke and the Air force people were upset and they left him. So Ned decided to get his flying car back which he did but Mr. Hawk tried to shoot at his car but Ned crash landed his flying car on Mr. Hawks car which caused him to crash into the police car and Ned and Besty got away.

He flew all the way to Washington D.C. but some military jet pilots found them and almost crashed into them but Ned flew into the clouds. And the Military was threating to shoot them down with missiles but decided not to. In the end Ned won Bestys heart back and they both got married and drove off in a flying car.

In the Sequel Son of Flubber Ned and Bill Hawk uses his flying car to get home. And used it to attack Bestys former Boyfriend with a rainstorm in his car which his crashed into the police cars. Also Ned and Biff escaped the police by flying away from them.

Now in the 2010s we do have flying cars but none of them work perfectly or smoothly like Neds flying Model T and even the bladed helicopter has stability issues. There has been a flying car test run at the Moller skycar company but it didn't have enough stability to fly untethered. There is a car plane combo called Terrafugia but you need an airport and you have to fly it like a plane. But the steep price of $250,000 will not get people interested in buying one. Maybe we'll get to ride a flying car joyride. But it's safe to say flying cars will not fill the skies due to sky dangers of crashing and falling. But we'll likely have a few flying cars or 1 but not as good as the Flubber flying car.

In conclusion I would recommend you buy these 2 movies they are family friendly. And they show the Flubber Gadgets that didn't arrive mainly the flying car. But don't give up hope there will be a flying car of Flubber but mostly we'll have low hovercars.

It's 2012 and no Terrafugias car plane combo yet


Hello flat screen readers today I want to let you know 2012 is here but we still drive wheel cars as usual we don't have terrafugias flying car plane combo yet curse it. And we still fly in winged airplanes at the airport or bladed helicopters. You know if Carl Dietrich and his team does not change their plans in their business model then they're likely to risk bankruptcy just like Paul Moller and the rest of the flying car inventors have. Don't get me wrong I think it would be cool to ride in a flying car as long as it's safe. But for now I will never buy a flying car period because it costs $200,000 to own and not only that you need aviation insurance. Also you need a pilots license which costs up to $10,000 which would make me go broke. But I'd rather ride in a low hovercar that won't fall out of a sky like flying cars would.

Carl Dietrich if you're reading my blog listen to my advice! Offer people air taxi joyrides you'll do alot better in your money making business giving people flying car rides instead of selling it to people don't allow yourself to go bankrupt!
