Created a working prototype hoverboard

You can exhale. The prediction from the movie Back to the Future-2 will probably come true by 2015. Architect Greg Henderson tried to develop a device that once and for all solved the problem of earthquakes. It did not come to that, but the scientist presented the first flying skate to the world .



Due to the fact that the entire system is based on the theory of electromagnetic fields, the Hendo skate can only fly over an electrically conductive surface. So far, without additional charging, the user will be able to spend "in the sky" only seven minutes, but the developers promise to increase this time to half an hour.

At the moment, $ 325,388 is raised on the kickstarter . Already, anyone can order a ready-made Hendo, although this pleasure will cost as much as 10 thousand dollars to anyone who wants it. But for only $ 299 (the favorite number of Americans, apparently), the potential engineer will receive a levitating basis, which Greg called the Hover Engine toolkit. Thus, the head of the bureau hopes to initiate the DIY-development process of his technology.
