At least we can say with confidence that he is already created, and Lexus can be proud of this achievement, which is a division of the famous Japanese manufacturer Toyota cars.
Who does not remember the soaring skateboards (hoverboards) from the movie “Back to the future, “it was on such a flying board that Marty McFly successfully flees from the villains. This idea has been repeatedly played in computer games, and many inventors have long been trying to create this device. And now it finally appeared in our life.
At Lexus, this project was developed only six months, in it scientists from the Institute for Solid State Research from Dresden. It was they who proposed the principle of overcoming gravity for due to the cooling of superconductors with liquid nitrogen, coupled with a special hoverboard magnetically, although the board itself is made of bamboo.

The video features unique test moments the air board in which Ross McGuran participates – the famous US skateboarder. But even he doesn’t immediately manage to curb it “Mustang,” he constantly falls, losing his balance, and can not to make not only a dizzying trick, but even the simplest hoverboard movements. However, at the end of the clip, we already see how Ross writes real pretzels on a fantastic board. Not think that he succeeded so easily, all this was filmed for three days near Barcelona – in the skate park of Cubellès.
And although it is still unknown when such hoverboards will arrive on sale and how much they will cost, the media is already trumpeting that the creators of this unique project are planning to use applied in it the principle of resistance to gravity for movement various cargoes and even buildings.
