The best part about this show is most tests could be simply calculated on a sheet of paper, but they run the tests anyway. Sure they run the numbers beforehand, but still, awesome show

I got here because of Die Another Day, the North Korean commander boasted that his hovercrafts just pass through all the mines at the DMZ

[cinnybonriddle]

“I like being right”





“Every now and then”

Kim jong un and isis put this thing in their shopping list after watching this😂

And that's why magnetic field activated mines are a thing.

[DYPIUS_IS_ON_COINBASE]

I wonder what the limit is? Would a hovercraft 20 times the size set off the mines?

[stephenotto]

Yeah just make sure there is no anti personal mines those can go off with a hover craft

[muhamadirfaan]

Well done problem solve for IED issues

[swimmingducks]

Anyone noticed that the mines are around the HoverBoard

[MindDataAI]

It should drag a log behind it and see how it goes. it will be EPIC

[JinKee]

Could use these hovercraft to deliver logistics in southern Ukraine round about now, given that the Russians blew up the dam and in about 30 or 40 days the rains will come and move all the mines in the minefields around during the Rasputitsa.

How much would a hovercraft weigh when floating?

[eversyt]

It would be nice to get such Hovercrafts for Ukraine. We have a lot of mine-infested by russians territories. Great vehicle!

[madhousenetwork]

So what they said in Die Another Day (2002) was right!

[MrJH]

What happens if you add more people/weight?

[skyler]

Thats amazing i really love the hover craft

[sigh]

Now we can have pep talk with Kim Jong Un!

[AidenPearce]

Already seen this when mythbusters still aired

[AetherCarl]

This is what happens when YouTubers ran out of ideas

[WayneCXT]

Can we drive hovercraft on road instead of driving cars
