What is Hoverboard: Definition and 16 Discussions

So, some days ago I was rethinking my childhood and remember that I was obsessed with ben 10, particularly with the hoverboard in the film (https://ben10.fandom.com/wiki/Hoverboards). Right now, I really want to construct a replication of it, but I am stuck with some problems. First, what type...

How can I create a hoverboard similar to the one on back to future using air compression and clever engineering if needed?

I am University Student currently working on a project to make a stationary hover board. This is just a prototype and does not need to support a human and only needs to support about 1kg but with as much "lift" or distance between the magnets as possible - (100mm?) Ideally we want to be able to...

Hi, My name is Kendall. After seeing the Back to the Future again, I have been once again fascinated by the hoverboards, as I'm sure many others are also guilty of. A couple hours of research into magnetism later, and I'm still stuck. I have little to no experience with magnetism, but I figure...

I'm working on a project of magnetic levitation of the lexus hoverboard Which is based on Meissner effect and suprconductivity and I have to look for contraint, probability, choice, and optimization in this project, i really find a little bit tough where to start this, so if anyone have any...

Hi, I saw a video of a guy who made a hover and figured; hey, I should try making one too. I've a general design in my mind. His design had two propellers, one on the front and one on the rear. I wanted to make a bike with more than 2 propellers( assuming more the propellers, greater the...

what's suitable electric ducted fans to lift 10 kg diameter shaft and kv , hovercraft size 40cm x 60 cm i need help ergent please

A few years ago I came on this board after Mattel released a prop replica. I suggested maybe a real Hoverboard will be invented. I was told in no uncertain terms, that I was talking science fiction and this was a Physics forum. With Hendo announcing today a 2.0 version of their hoverboard. How...

So here is the video if you haven't seen it: I was wondering what material they used as their super conductor.

But just before you rush to order one, watch this:

Ive had a look through the forums regarding this subject but I've found more questions than answers to issues that i would like to know firstly I am planning on building a perminant magnet hoverboard that floats on a perminant magnet floor slightly crazy i know the board is a skateboard in size...

The hoverboard would be a long, sleek, light, metal board with two strong but small fans underneath for power and another one on the end for propulsion. I would be about 3 feet in length, 5 in. in width, and about 4 cm. in height. The metal board would be in the shape of a skateboard but a...

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/142464853/hendo-hoverboards-worlds-first-real-hoverboard I see that it says it's based on Lenz's law, which says that the induced currents will generate a field that opposes the change in the field. So, I figure they have some kind of oscillating magnetic...

Today is the day that Marty McFly arrives from the 1980s, but... Hoverboard? Still in the Future (New York Times)

G'day. I was wondering about the possibilities of making a permanent magnet hoverboard that levitates above a permanent magnet floor. They say that these new neodymium magnets can attract hundreds of kilos/pounds. Since repulsion and attraction forces are the same magnitude from what I hear, why...

Hi everyone. As you may know, it is possible to create a torus or toroidal vortex of air. Some toys such as the air zooka create a torus of air that travels across a room to knock down a light object. Do you think it is possible to create a device that produces a continuous torus of air...
