Now that is cool  Next thing is to fit the missiles

No next thing is to attach it to my car! 

This is fake isn't it? Just a viral ad for Wipeout?

Edit : After actually watching it I can see that of course it's fake.

I thought it was real, I've seen the same done with metal discs.

I think it's a fake using the premise of new technology. I could be wrong, but I just don't get how the cars are so precisely controlled. Sure magnets could stop them from bouncing into the walls, but they stay in their lane pretty much all the time. And the video looks too well done...

it's the mist/steam/fog/whatever you call it coming off the cars that looks fake to me....

and the way they cool them looks a bit iffy too !

Well if they cooled the ceramics using liquid nitrogen, and had a liquid nitrogen tank, they would need some kind of gas outlet as the liquid nitrogen warmed up and evaporated it would expand to 174 times its volume, leaving that vapour trail. It does look too cosmetic though...

yes...but

it should (pretty much) constantly emit the same amount of mist... no matter the speed it travels at....

so when it goes faster the trail should be thinner because it's the same amount of mist spread over more area

but it doesn't... it looks to stay the same or maybe even get a bit thicker

I posted this ages ago and no one took any notice it is cool progress but meaningless still. As soon as they prove and start looking at the nex Bosan they can start to unlock the fabric of gravity and one you know a thing you can control a thing.

I guess depending on where the tank is, by speeding up the rate of evaporation will change too as the air will warm the models enough to boil more nitrogen off. Liquid nitrogen is crazy in terms of how cold it is and how it boils off. I still think the video is fake though...

YOU CAN TELL FROM THE PIXELS 

Looks good but the cost would be huge to implement even if the technology has got anywhere near that stage.

I agree that the video looks suspicious, especially connected to a game. We would also have heard more about it than this after the time it's been out.

Then there is...

So it's a Japanese lab but they use gmail rather than their own server?

This is genuine and much earlier...
