Check out the live version of Wipeout that some scientists have created in Japan using something… called… quantum levitation… yea. OK on to the video!
JAPAN INSTITUTE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Here is a short footage on our recent work on quantum levitation. We were inspired by the game Wipeout to do our work. With this new technology, we hope to revolutionize the world of motor transport; Maybe in a near future we could assist to a real Wipeout race.
