We told you guys a little while ago that Lexus were fine tuning a prototype Hoverboard and we even teased you with a pic, but now we can show you the real thing live and working in this dope video featuring skateboarder and hoverboard test rider Ross McGouran.
The Lexus Hoverboard features two “cryostats,” reservoirs in which superconducting material is kept at -197 degrees through immersion in liquid nitrogen. Permanent magnets then rest underneath the board.
 Dr. Oliver de Haas, evico CEO, says,
“The magnetic field from the track is effectively ‘frozen’ into the superconductors in the board, maintaining the distance between the board and the track—essentially keeping the board hovering. This force is strong enough to allow the rider to stand and even jump on the board.”
Watch the video below and prepare to be amazed, this is some real life ‘Back to the Future Ish!
