Hoverboard - the future is now ;)

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the innovative technology behind hoverboards, specifically highlighting the concept of quantum locking. Participants note that hoverboards operate similarly to draisines in that they do not require traditional propulsion methods. Instead, they utilize liquid nitrogen for cooling, which is posited as a more cost-effective alternative to electricity. This technology represents a significant advancement in personal transportation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum locking principles
  • Familiarity with hoverboard mechanics
  • Knowledge of liquid nitrogen properties and applications
  • Basic concepts of propulsion systems
NEXT STEPS

So it's a hoverboard in the same way as a draisine is a bicycle?
 
Quantum locking nice. it doesn't even need electricity you just need liquid nitrogen I bet that's a lot cheaper than electricity =)
