Just give it to me straight - when will the levitation give us hoverboards?

Just give it to me straight - when will the levitation give us hoverboards?
- marcosdumay 3y agoAs long as you only want them to hover over a magnet...

- BizarroLand 3y agoAssuming the lift is there or the magnets are strong enough, it would be plausible to have an electromagnetic hover skate park where you could pay by the hour, and possibly even future X-game like events where the boards and riders could move in any direction they can get acceleration in.
- Arrath 3y agoWell that would be very, very cool.
- m463 3y agoI believe I saw a video of a hoverboard that worked over a carefully constructed magnetic skatepark... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KtzyZKSuls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KtzyZKSuls
- skykooler 3y agoI wonder how big of a superconductor you'd need to use Earth's magnetic field.
- knicholes 3y agoI want them to have enough current passing through them in a rod shape that it will run the current against the Earth's magnetic field to cause vertical movement.
- cududa 3y agoThis gave me a giggle to think about - mind expanding on what you’re thinking of using movement scenario for?
- marcosdumay 3y agoThe GP wants to lock the skateboard on the East/West direction, of course.
- fennecfoxy 3y agoWhen we discover if gravitons exist or not and how to produce/manipulate them so that we can negate the effect of gravity on an object.
