Canada has recreated the Quidditch broom from J.K. Rowling's legendary Harry Potter book.
Bloggers from the Hacksmith Industries YouTube channel showed the device in a video. The video gained over 400 thousand views in 3 days.
The broom can fly over water only. The engineers screwed a motor and a stick to a foil board, a surfboard with a special wing that pushes the board away from the water. The specialists also chose the optimal location of the center of gravity for stable flight.
Bloggers mentioned the broom's decor as well. The creators added additional elements that make the device look like a broom from the Harry Potter universe. Moreover, the pilot was dressed as a student of the Hogwarts School of Magic.
