A lot of fuss about something we knew in Primary school: like magnetic poles repel.
It will only hover above their special surface that is magnetised.
Credit for the powerful magnets and the cool blue light.

Wow, a hoverboard that can support the weight of one person using electromagnetic force.
Imagine if they could ever invent a train that travels very fast and carries hundreds of people using the same principle.
Duh.  :||||

Still, it is great to see there are people working on bringing an end to the shocking lack of hoverboards in the world today :thumbs
