@chinaminutes: Real-life Green Goblin? 🚀 A 26-year-old self-taught inventor from China’s Hubei Province has gone viral after flying a homemade skateboard inspired by the Green Goblin’s glider in Spider-Man. Song Xingyu (宋兴宇) spent around two months developing the aircraft. His first prototype used five jet engines, but a fire during testing forced him to redesign it. The final version features 10 electric propellers, similar to those used in large drones, reportedly generating enough thrust to lift four adults. Song also developed an AI-assisted monitoring system using two smartphones, providing real-time flight data and voice instructions through Bluetooth earphones to help maintain balance. After more than 10 days of practice, he flew over the mountains and rivers of Hubei. On October 6, he reportedly travelled over 300 metres in just two minutes. Despite leaving school at 14, Song taught himself engineering and has pursued several ambitious inventions. #greengoblin #hoverboard #futuretech #dronetechnology #madeinchina
