The future of driving: DeLorean hovercraft lets you cruise on both land and water

Posted by in categories: futurism, transportation

A second fan on the rear then pushes air behind the craft, driving it forward. Rudders behind this thrust fan turn the craft. It may be a hovercraft at its core, but like regular cars on the street, it has got headlights, navigation lamps, cockpit lights, as well as a flux capacitor — that’s the coloured lights around the perimeter. The hovercraft took a total of four-and-a-half years to build.

So, piloting the hovercraft feels like driving a car that’s constantly sliding around on ice. You got your foot pedal and steering wheel and it feels like you’re in a car, but you are just sliding around every way with no friction.

A Giant ‘Wall’ of Galaxies Has Been Found Stretching Across The Universe

Posted by in category: space

The Universe isn’t just a random scattering of galaxies sprinkled throughout an expanding void. The closer we look, the more we see that there are structures — some of which are incomprehensibly vast groupings and clusters of galaxies that are gravitationally bound together.

Such a structure has just been discovered arcing across the southern edge of the sky, and it’s a colossus, spanning an immense 1.37 billion light-years from end to end. Its discoverers have named it the South Pole Wall.
