[QUOTE="NascentOxygen, post: 5564597, member: 336970"] You could construct a surface made up of tens of thousands of electromagnets. Arrange for electronics to sense the location of your hoverboard and cause current to go to just those solenoids directly beneath and around it so they repel the permanent magnets embedded in the hoverboard. It might be possible to create a dynamic magnetic "well" with electromagnets just outside the periphery of the board's footprint exerting a stronger repulsion to afford the rider stability—where movement in any direction would encounter a user-selectable degree of resistance.
