Electric hydrofoils are still a relatively new technology, compared to standard surfboards and what not, but the Fliteboard Series 2 aims to things to the next level. Developed by kite surfing world record holder David Trewern, it’s touted as the world’s first integrated electronic foil, which means the rider is essentially hovering above the water, without requiring any waves, wind or wake. It can hit a top speed of 27 mph.

The front has been coated in a special screen surface treatment to showcase the all-important black depth more accurately than ever before.
Joby Aviation has spent the past decade developing an all-electric, vertical take-off and landing aircraft that is set to operate as a commercial passenger aircraft beginning in 2024. Performing over 1,000 test flights in the last 10 years, the company became the first to agree to a certification basis for an electric vertical takeoff and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) in 2020 and it also received the U.S. Air Force’s first ever airworthiness approval for an eVTOL aircraft.
Inventor Shane Wighton likes to think outside the box, whether if he’s playing basketball, or just some pool. Since he’s not a professional at either, robotic intervention is required to master some things. His latest project involved building a robotic pool cue that can easily sink trick shots. In a typical game, the eight-ball can not be sunk until all the other ones are in the pockets. This ingenious robotic pool utilizes a projection system and algorithms to precisely direct his shots.
