  • But Can It Go 88MPH? A DeLorean Hovercraft
    July 1, 2010
    This is a DeLorean hovercraft being built by Matthew Riese of San Francisco. Why build a DeLorean hovercraft? *facepalm* Get out of here for even asking that. I'm serious -- I can't look at you right now. If you're like me, when you saw the flying Delorean in Back to the Fu... / Continue →
  • Retractable Speed Bump Awards Slow Drivers
    October 22, 2009
    The Intelligent Bump is a speed bump that lowers itself if a driver is under a predetermined speed. It has no effect on me though because I drive a hovercar from the future. Dubbed the Intelligent Bump, this clever system by Mexico-based Decano Industries actually retracts ... / Continue →
  • I Smell Hoverboards!: Scientists Successfully Float Mice Using Magnetic Fields
    September 15, 2009
    That's right folks, scientists have successfully hovered mice using nothing but magnetic fields. You read correctly: no black magic this time! (I'm still skeptical) Scientists working on behalf of NASA built a device to simulate variable levels of gravity. It consists of a s... / Continue →
  • WTF!: The World Thorium Fuel Vehicle
    January 16, 2009
    The Cadillac WTF is a conceptual car by designer Loren Kulesus that runs on Thorium, a possible alternative nuclear fuel to uranium. You know, because there's nothing like driving a car packed with radioactive metal to keep you under the speed limit. Just kidding, I'd speed a... / Continue →

    October 28, 2008
    Jeff Chabotte is a Back to the Future fanboy and somehow managed to get his hands on Griff Tannen's BMW 633 HoverCar from the second movie. Unfortunately, even after a complete restoration it still doesn't hover an...Jeff -- what in the f*** kind of pose is that? Fan Restores... / Continue →
  • Guy Makes Full Size Driveable Landspeeder
    August 29, 2008
    Daniel Deutsch went and built himself a 1:1 scale replica of the Star Wars Landspeeder that looks so good, I swear it's been shopped. But allegedly I'm wrong, and the vehicle has "a custom aluminum chassis, fiberglass body, and an electric drive system that hits lightspeed at ... / Continue →

    Kevin Brown is a man. A man who designed an IFO and is now seeking funding to start production. Introducing the VTOHLJATT: A Vertical Takeoff Hover Landing Jet Aerial Terrestrial Transport (you've gotta admit, it's got a ring to it). The vehicle has four models starting wit... / Continue →
  • OMG: Marty McFly's Hoverboard On eBay
    July 24, 2008
    After spotting the post about Marty McFly's Nike's on eBay last week, loyal Geekologie reader (and all around handsome devil) Dave was kind enough to inform me that THE FREAKING HOVERBOARD IS UP FOR SALE TOO! This is one of the hero Mattel Hoverboards used by Michael J. Fox in... / Continue →
  • eBay: Back To The Future II Shoe Prototype
    July 18, 2008
    This is a working prototype of the futuristic Nike's Marty McFly wore in Back to the Future II. This is not the shoe worn in the movie, it's the prototype from which the others were made. Oh, and it isn't a pair, it's just a single shoe. They were originally called "Slamba... / Continue →
  • Back To The Future II Marty McFly Hyperdunks Coming Next Month, No Word On Hoverboard
    July 7, 2008
    In a move that makes Nike infinitely cooler in my eyes, the company had decided to release a model similar to those seen in Back to the Future II. Of course I'll never buy them, but at least they're trying. Unfortunately the Marty McFly Hyperdunks have laces and don't vacuum-... / Continue →
