Flying Carpet Powered by Ripples of Electricity
The fully functional, miniature carpet is actually a 4-inch sheet of plastic, but the technology it employs is anything but exaggerated.
Jafferis’ prototype “flies” using waves of electrical currents to drive thin pockets of air above a flat surface, but it won’t be soaring and darting over palace kingdoms anytime soon. In fact, currently it can only travel at speeds of around one centimeter per second.
