# Water Levitation Flying Car Gets Lift from Fire Hoses By Marissa Brassfield | Published 2008-09-07 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-car-water References: [videos.streetfire.net](http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Flying-Water-Jet-Car_180386.htm) In this video, firemen successfully create a [flying car](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beast-by-john-dodd) with water from their fire hoses. We've all seen the old cartoons where a character is lifted up by the water that comes out of a hose, but not many of us would try to attempt this feat in real life. Watch as the fire hoses, which are strapped to the 'flying' car, spurt water all over the place as they're turned on. Then, the collective energy from the combination of fire hoses lifts the car clean off the ground. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Water-powered Transportation:** Exploring the potential for water-powered transportation as a novel and sustainable mode of travel. - **Fire Hose-powered Innovation:** Investigating how fire hoses can be used for innovative applications beyond controlling fires. - **Levitation Technology:** Advancing developments in levitation technology to enable new applications and methods of transportation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** Exploring how water-powered transportation technology can disrupt the automotive industry and create new opportunities. - **Emergency Services:** Investigating how fire hose-powered innovation can benefit emergency services such as disaster relief and search and rescue missions. - **Transportation Infrastructure:** Exploring how levitation technology can disrupt traditional transportation infrastructure and create new opportunities for urban planning and design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Flying Car Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-car-concepts.md) - [Flight-Equipped Hatchbacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aeroht.md) - [Working Flying Car Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flying-car-prototype.md) - [Functional Flying Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a5-evtol.md) - [Video Game-Inspired Hovercrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mario-kart-hovercraft.md) - [Luxury Electric Hovercrafts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arosa-hovercraft.md) - [Road-Legal Flying Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/switchblade-1.md) - [Air-Powered Racer Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airpower-turbo-racer.md) - [Wind-Powered Flying Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-flying-car.md)
