SUMMARY
Hoverboards, as described in the referenced article, do not exist in a practical form due to the immense power requirements for levitating an electromagnet using the Earth's magnetic field. The concept of hoverboards relies on technology that is currently unfeasible for mass production or marketing. The discussion highlights the impracticality of energy gathering methods mentioned in the article, reinforcing the conclusion that hoverboards remain a theoretical concept rather than a viable product.
