The Hoverboard is a reality

28 AUG 2007 | Posted By: Dimitri

The Hoverboard is a reality I, like many millions of other children of the eighties, experienced a number of defining cinematic moments that stick with me to this day. There was Ghostbusters, Star Wars, E.T., Neverending Story and of course the Back To The Future series. The effect of these films on our subconscious has been undeniably massive, in particular the visions of the future portrayed in Back To The Future 2, the impact from which can be gauged based on the huge response to the Nike McFly petition, and now the creation of a working hoverboard prototype.

No shit.

It's finally happened, and we can all die happy. Check the video below.

Not quite as pretty or maneuverable Marty McFly's pink number, it's a start and things can only improve from here. For more information check out the Future Horizons site here.

I like where the technology is going but it seems like a fair way off Back to the Future.

It's only going to get better though, the first version of everything is always shit. Give it 5 -10 years I reckon, and we could get there.

The only way it is ever going to happen is if we get electromagnetic technology move advanced than it currently is. There's a theory that over enough iron ore ground that the right magnets could do it... So in theory with a metal rink / ramp, and the right board with magnets, off you go...
