Wheelless cars have been on the agenda for a long time, especially if sci-fi movies are any indicator. But if in reality these are still years away, it seemed that the floating boards predicted for 2015 by the movie Back to the Future II would be a more realistic goal. Just yesterday, these seemed like something from the future, but luxury car maker Lexus surprised and apparently managed to figure out how to defy gravity with a board. Slide is probably not a prank.
Slides it is Luxusova hoverboard, which fulfills the movie's prediction Back to the Future II for 2015, as it is the best approximation of the technology with which he was chased through the streets Marty McFly. In appearance, the board is worthy of Toyota's luxury brand, as it is decorated with elegant features that reflect Lexus vehicles rather than classic skates. How a device that moves without friction (which is otherwise formed by wheels), it works, Lexus didn't release, they only opened the door to the public so that we know that the board uses superconductor, which is cooled by liquid nitrogen. This one in conjunction with a pair of magnets enables hovering.

Alas, Slide, on which he turned from the tin masks of cars to his bamboo walking board also moved the characteristic "L", it will not see serial production, as it will only be intended for for promotional purposes within the framework of the "Amazing in Motion" campaign. With it, Lexus wants to show the world that it breathes with full development lungs. It is currently a hoverboard testing in Barcelona, and see how it works in action in the video above.
