What a creation, it's a unhinged flying bike/human blender but unbelievably it gets off the ground and actually flies. (Colin Furze)

Colin Furze, British plumber turned inventor, is so well known for his videos demonstrating his crazy inventions that he's a regular on Science Channel's Outrageous Acts of Science.

He's created everything from a pulse-jet powered bicycle to a 10 hp motorized baby stroller. His latest creation, however, may be his magnum opus: With a little help from Ford Motors, Furze has managed to build a real, functioning hoverbike.

The hoverbike was built for Ford U.K.'s "Unlearn" project, and the result is about as close to the speeder bikes from Star Wars as we're likely to get in the foreseeable future.
