mgm Posted April 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2015 I completely understand why LordAWOL is not posting anything about the hoverboard development. The secrecy is needed to ensure maximum impact when they reveal this unheard-in-Arma-world feature. As we patiently await the release I will continue my research on the matter and keep sharing with you fellow hoverboard lovers. Here is a post on the concept and an early primitive implementation of: Electromagnetic Repulsion You might find some bits of the article really funny but please note this is from way back (from 2015) and keep on mind that people at the time still didn't even have fusion reactors at home lulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knights†emplar Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 mgm really you are only posting back and forth with urself on this! its not gonna happen give up ! It will make epoch a joke! seriously you should try Destiny its more your type of game if you want things like hoverboard, oh wait even Destiny over looked it i think! defo not gonna happen on epoch!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgm Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 noooooooooo!!! y u doin diz to me it's definitely gonna happen. I can almost see LordAWOL coding this right now in the secret Epoch development HQ. look it's axeman trying to give his junior (a.k.a. construct) a big hoverboard. of course it is a joke. just for april 1st 2016. what is not a joke is hoverboard, as a useable short/mid- range personal green transport. it has only 5 inventory slots but it's okay with me.

mgm Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 admit it, you want to hover in Chernarus too. PS I am not crazy lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knights†emplar Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 NO !!! I don't play on Chernarus either! ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgm Posted April 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 NO !!! I don't play on Chernarus either! ha don't resist. it's inevitable. on the upside, you'll love hoverboarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgm Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 hello hoverboard lovers, I was just doing my daily archive search, looking as far back as early 2000s, to better understand early/primitive concepts and products on today's main travel device hoverboards. I found a study on the below and wanted to share with you guys. Aerospace Engineering Feasibility Analysis for Electrically-Powered Hoverboard Feasibility Analysis for Electrically-Powered Hoverboard Cameron Chan, California Polytechnic State University - San Luis ObispoFollowJason Cortez, California Polytechnic State University - San Luis ObispoFollowJay Lopez, California Polytechnic State University - San Luis ObispoFollow Date 3-2012 Degree Name BS in Aerospace Engineering You can access the full version at the following link: http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/aerosp/65/ I skimmed through the pages quite interesting. The best we can get our hands on until Epoch DevTeam complete this one most important amazing sorely needed feature. It is 38 pages, after going through first 30 I jumped to the conclusion, here it is for your viewing pleasure. It is amusing to read "with today's technology hoverboard is a possibility" from way back 2012 texts. Conclusion This analysis shows the possibility of an electric powered hover board without using a skirt. With today’s technology, this is definitely feasible given the right amount of funds and supplies. If a hover board were to be developed using this analysis and current technology, the implications for usage span from military operations or cargo transport, to personal recreation or sports. While this project analyzes many aspects critical to proper operation and manufacturing of a hover board, this alone is not enough to develop one. The electrical system, a control system and a safety system would need to be further developed. This project, however, provides a solid foundation for any company with the time, money and technology. The project starts with choosing a basic hover board configuration and starting to analyze the systems, and change accordingly. The structure is made entirely of carbon fiber sandwiching a Nomex honeycomb core and resembles a large skateboard. The internal structure is composed of 2 box beams to resist the load of a rider, theother components of the hover board, and the stresses caused by the propulsion system. The propulsion system was narrowed down to two options: compressors and ducted fans. Compressors didn’t prove to be practical due to the high complexity of such a system and the high power requirement. Ducted fans were chosen instead for their simplicity and high efficiency. Using Matlab and JavaProp, the ducted fans were sized and the propellers were optimized for the highest efficiency and highest thrust. To distribute the thrust across the length of the board and to distribute the stresses on each fan more evenly, four fans are used, each the same size. The duct was designed to be a constant area one because a converging nozzle requires more power. The power required by the four fans will be provided by the Oxford electric motor, which is able to provide more than enough power for the system. Its low weight, small size and high power rating makes it the optimal choice for the power system. The current one that is developed will suffice for today’s technology, but future advancements should make it even smaller, lighter, and more applicable to the hover board. The motor is powered by Lithium-Ion batteries, sized according to the project requirements. The overall weight is well within a reasonable weight allowance for the hover board. Hover technology has already been used in many applications, but never in such a way as this project showed. This project shows that with today’s technology, a non skirted hover board is a possibility. I am so glad they are adding these. I really want a silver one with black stripes.

SPIB0X Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 Its here! https://gifsound.com/?webm=i.4cdn.org/v/1432791509855&v=juxHbL_yqZk&s=55 :) thats so epic, and almost half the work is done! just gotta give the rider the ability to control it himself, without having a gun drawn so its not OP, and also limit its height and speed:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySanchez Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 is this feature in yet? :unsure: OMG I couldn't resist Yes they added in the hover board and all the players flew away to ARK, H1Z1, GTA V, Fallout 4, DAYZ SA, and well mine craft.

mgm Posted July 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 I'm lil busy with Ceph but will come back to love of my life Epoch. awol & axeman, please sort out all the hoverboard bugs by then I don't want to fall off of my board thanks a lot in advance!

Sp4rkY Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Men, i have to ask you.... what do you want. Do you want Epoch as Survival game, which it isnt anymore, do you want Epoch as PvP like it is, or do you want Epoch as Science Fiction game which breaks the entire object of the game??? In my eyes, i miss the arma 2 zeds, i miss the real survival elements, sappers and cultists are enough but hover boards ? Bro please.... no.

cring0 Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Dunno, but can they just make the electric scooter hover already? It keeps getting stuck in the ground. =p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp4rkY Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 these problems i want to have lol :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgm Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 no zombies. awol explains this on Epoch website... it's 2035 dude. zombies are so 2010! if you want survival experience (without maxing out AI capabilities) I don't mind, just give me the dam hoverboards. it's friggin 2035, we get CLONED and we're still walking from spawn? no good.

Sp4rkY Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Yes, in this point u are right. But who says that 2035 will be zed-free ? :) Everything is possible... And it was my own opinion, nothing personal :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgm Posted July 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 no worries - it is good to hear others' opinions, hence my post in here :D no zombies in 2035 though. technology is so advanced we can give you zombie computer games in 2035 if you like? epoch PlayStation addon...
