Zapata Racing, a French company that specialises in hoverboards powered with water, released a video last week that showed a man flying 34 mph on a jet-powered board.
あまりにも凄すぎてビデオが編集されている疑いもある。
原理：
SIX ENGINES, A LOGIC BOARD, AND A BACKPACK FULL OF KEROSENE
ケロシンというジエット燃料を使っているとある。

Can you tell me more about how it works? How many engines are in there? We have four engines inside, and the power is 250 horsepower each. It’s about 1,000 horsepower total. How do you keep it stabilized? Is there something helping you other than you just shifting your weight? It’s a logic system inside the board that helps stabilize the machine. It’s extremely hard to stabilize, so yes it’s not only my balance. For example, we use like the same kind of electronics like you use on a drone to stabilize. The problem is to create the algorithms, the right algorithms, to combine the intelligence in the board and in your brain. So we spent about four months to make that work. What are those algorithms controlling to help stabilize, is it just thrust level? No. We adjust the top speed of the small turbines on the side, and also the inclination of the turboreactors itself. So it’s like we have six systems working together plus my brain and my legs. So it will actually change the angle of those turbines? Yes, it changes the angle of the turbines, it changes the angle of the thrust nozzle, we adjust also the power for each engine, and also we adjust the thrust of the side turbines, the small ones. <img alt=" " src="https://cdn0.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/Nvm4ikEbWLfMJDs4wkWLTzx2uAA=/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/6344373/S__quence_01.00_01_17_04.Image_fixe013.0.jpg"> (Zapata Racing) |
