The automaker showed a video on the Hoverboard, a floating skate more than one reminds us to that used in the movie “Back to the Future”. This project began 18 months ago and needed the collaboration of scientists from IFW and EVICO GmbH, specializing in magnetic levitation technology.
As we can see from the pictures, the first tests were carried out in Barcelona by professional sports, Ross McGouran, who showed all kinds of stunts on the hoverboard as you would for a normal skate.
But … How does it work? It is based on the technology of magnetic levitation, so that there frictionless movement. This occurs thanks to conductors inside the “vapor” hovering from its side are cooled by immersion in nitrogen at -197 degrees, hence.
Also, keep in mind that the surface by circulating should be integrated magnets, so they can not slip for any site.
Unfortunately for all lovers of the sport, Lexus announced that the Hoverboard is just a prototype for now will not be for sale.
