Cracking bit of engineering here from James Bruton. Plenty of sci-fi what-if ideas in this!  :wub:


Somebody in the comments suggested spraying the balls green so you can green-screen them out in post-production to make it look like a real anti-grav hover bike...

Hmm, interesting.  Could have some practical applications (ironing out some of the obvious issues, I.e, the balls falling off) for vehicles that operate in limited space such as loaders.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
