French artist Nils Guadagnin has created the ultimate gadget, the hover board from Back to the Future 2. The board floats using simple electromagnetism and a laser stabilisation system that corrects the board’s balance. Towards the end of the clip when the artist pushes the board it easily recovers using this stability system.
Unfortunately the only problem with this board is that it’s an artistic installation and cannot take the weight of a rider.The electromagnetic system which levitates the board is integrated into the board and the plinth.
Check out a video presentation below:
All I know is that as soon as something like this becomes available for consumer use (and it will; they still have 4+ years to develop it...lol...c'mon Mattel), I am SO getting one...and yes, it'll be in the very fluorescent BTTF color scheme.
