The hoverboards Or hoverboards are now a reality. For anyone who has seen the Back to the Future film series, it's inevitable to remember them with a certain nostalgia and good humor.
But, aside from all science fiction stories, technology continues to advance in real life and there is already a prototype of a flying board, similar to a classic skateboard, made up of four disc-shaped motors that generate a magnetic field which makes the board stay levitated above the surface.
The engineers of the American company ArxPax, creators of Hendo (name of the prototype) explain that the levitation of the skate takes place on a special metallic surface, designed for this purpose, which repels the board and keeps it floating in the air.
Check out this interesting video, which explains how the technology works and where you can see images of Hendo:
ArxPax was able to promote the project thanks to the fact that it was presented and funded through the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter.
Greg Henderson, head of the company, assures that This technology is capable of changing the way we imagine and design structures. of our communities: houses, street furniture, vehicles, etc.
For now, these geniuses have only designed the Hendo board as a means of attracting attention and making the scientific community aware of the potential of these magnetic motors.
