Here – here is that 'hoverboard' you've wanted so much. Look at it. Look. at. it.

so very fake

It's fake. Isn't it obvious that it's fake? It's not even a good fake. He could have at least used a couple vacuum cleaners or leaf blowers to kick up a realistic amount of air turbulence. Did I miss the part of the article that points out that it's fake?

The guy's clothes aren't even fluttering. There is no dust kicked up by what would have to be a huge downwash from the rotors. Has anyone ever flown a toy helicopter or quadcopter? They kick up a huge amount of dust just to lift a few grams. This board is way too small. There isn't enough surface area to collect enough air to create enough thrust to lift a person.

I imagine the rider slipping off the board and having it flip upside down and suck itself to the the rider's head.
