And then we'll let you drive. we need to stabilise it, much like a fighterjet. then we feel how we're oriented, where we are in the world, and then about 100 times per second, we are adjustable by twisting it and changing the angle of the tack to keep stable. this is where it gets exciting. let's go. wow! i can feel the sensation of the boat lifting up. it does actually feel like we're flying. and without the hull in the water, it's using 80% less power than a boat would conventionally need. batteries are still no way close to the same energy density as gasoline. but as hydroplaning reduces fr...

And for everyone that lives down that street. but it's fun, so i can kind of see how people would actually engage with this. yeah. it's incredibly easy, as well. and that's the first time you've used it. and, 0k, you've made a bit of a mess, but it looks... it looks semi—believable. i mean, whether or not you put that... whether or not you put those objects there.
