Don't try this at home: Colin Furze's crazy homemade hoverbike


Colin Furze has created a homemade hoverbike, and managed to avoid serious injury in the process

The hoverboards aren't a new thing. Many enterprises had made a lot of prototypes. Some of these are more complete than others, and can operate better. But one guy called Colin Furze make a homemade hoverbike with the financing of Ford.
The initial design had two motors and propellors mounted to the bottom of the frame and turning in the same direction, but this didn't go well and Furze switched to an S-shaped metal frame that allowed each propeller to rotate in opposite directions.
Although this crazy invention seems that it can't fly and looks close to crashing, this guy is able to control it but is difficult because with a simple spin the hoverboard moves too. Colin wants to incorporate more things like a stabilization system, but the machine can't hold this weight yet.

I saw more of his inventions and all of them are magnificent and crazy at the same time. If you imagine a crazy inventor, Colin Furze is your man.
