Ugh, that was a hair. Namely, only one year separates us from the time when the movie "Back to the Future 2" (1989) took place, when we saw Michael J. Fox on a hovering skateboard. Science fiction has already inspired many inventors, including the creators of the Hendo hoverboard, which, like the movie, instantly became a big hit. Not on the movie screens, but on Kicksarter.
A hoverboard Henda was invented by a couple Greg and Jill Henderson, but it was created at the company Arx Pax. Instead of four wheels, they drive it four hover engines, a technology that is also found in magnetic nebula trains and that allows it to form magnetic pillows. The original version was supposed to last up to 136 kilograms, later also up to 226.
Just like a classic skateboard, we direct it by tilting (due to the absence of friction, management is quite demanding), but on the streets or in skate parks (released in 2015), you won't see it, in accordance with the laws of physics magnetic field (so far) it works only on a metal base (e.g. aluminium).

And if the road lands the skateboard, its price may be almost 9 thousand euros. Dear sports equipment or form of transport, but that didn't prevent it from being on the first day Kickstarter achieved the desired financial goal. If you want to be among the first recipients and live the future, just add your beeper.
Let's mention that the skateboard was only by-product companies. Namely, their desire is to create a technology - hovering engines that would from danger (e.g. earthquake shocks) saved endangered buildings. If ten-ton trains are floating around, why not one thousand-ton buildings too?
