So this artist decided to make an actual hoverboard. Amazing!
Plug: Don’t forget you can pick up your own haveboard.com hoverboard t-shirt (or even the Animal Chin Shirt) in the store!
French artist Nils Guadagnin* went out and created a replica of the popular hoverboard from the film, and it actually hovers! Here is an explanation of what type of magic was used to pull it off.
Integrated into the board and the plinth is an electromagnetic system which levitates the board. A laser system stabilises the object in the air.

*Check out Nils’ Wallpaper Exposition. I think you guys would appreciate it.
just a matter of time before these are available to the consumer market.
Seriously want one of these so bad.
I actually made a joke today about it almost being 2015, and we still don’t have hoverboards.
hoax, i wanna see him ride it then
It’s not a hoax, it’s possible to hover stuff with magnets. It’s just a challenge to get something that small to support the weight of a person. Nice find Haveboard!
Fuckin magnets? How do they work?
