The Lexus Hoverboard: It's Here

[Num7]

Check out this working hoverboard!

Superconductors made of yttrium barium copper oxide are inlaid into the body of the board. Placed into two reservoirs within, this compound is cooled down to below a chilly –181oC (–294oF) in liquid nitrogen, which is the mysterious gas emanating out of the hoverboard. Once cooled, the superconductors store a magnetic field, generated from the 200 meters of magnetic track built into the skatepark. And so the hoverboard hovers.

Sweet!

I would hate to run out of liquid nitrogen mid jump and then have a hard land.

I gotta much simpler and cheaper idea for a hoverboard.
Create a high energy pulsating magnetic field on a road and have the hoverboard made from Graphene
I made a posting on here about a small piece of Graphene i bought off ebay, and how it floats above a magnet.
Try it out for yourselves

I found this not long ago, and it was posted on January 1, 2014.
