As I am a bit shorter, I have always wanted to fly or at least hover over places, so that I can see what is going on. How great would it be to just hover during the concerts or when you want to reach something but it is too high for you. I admit, these are my problems, but hovering over the places looks more real than ever before and it can make our lives more exciting. And now it doesn’t seem as hoax.
A couple from California, United States, Jill and Greg Henderson say that they have developed a working hover-board and they want to bring it to common households.
Greg used Magnetic Field Architecture (MFA), an electronic principle that magnetic energy is conserved, as Maglev trains uses for humming along and he designed the hoverboard, The Hendo. Although the hoverboard floats only one inch off the ground but couple claims that this is just the first step in improving transportation technology. The Hendo uses four disc-shaped motors to lift it off the ground carrying 140 kg (about two people) for around 15 minutes.
Now they are looking for $250,000 in funding to refine the working technology and start the production. The price of Hendo will be $10,000.
The only small problem of this Hendo hoverboard is that it can hover just over metals like copper or aluminium so you would be able to ride it just in special arena.
