A hoverboard (or hover board) is a levitating board used for personal transportation. First described in science-fiction, many attempts have been made to invent a functioning hoverboard, though none thus far have proven to be entirely practical.
So, some days ago I was rethinking my childhood and remember that I was obsessed with ben 10, particularly with the hoverboard in the film (https://ben10.fandom.com/wiki/Hoverboards). Right now, I really want to construct a replication of it, but I am stuck with some problems. First, what type...
I am University Student currently working on a project to make a stationary hover board. This is just a prototype and does not need to support a human and only needs to support about 1kg but with as much "lift" or distance between the magnets as possible - (100mm?)
Ideally we want to be able to...
Hi, My name is Kendall. After seeing the Back to the Future again, I have been once again fascinated by the hoverboards, as I'm sure many others are also guilty of. A couple hours of research into magnetism later, and I'm still stuck.
I have little to no experience with magnetism, but I figure...
I'm working on a project of magnetic levitation of the lexus hoverboard
Which is based on Meissner effect and suprconductivity and I have to look for contraint, probability, choice, and optimization in this project, i really find a little bit tough where to start this, so if anyone have any...
Hi, I saw a video of a guy who made a hover and figured; hey, I should try making one too. I've a general design in my mind. His design had two propellers, one on the front and one on the rear. I wanted to make a bike with more than 2 propellers( assuming more the propellers, greater the...
A few years ago I came on this board after Mattel released a prop replica. I suggested maybe a real Hoverboard will be invented. I was told in no uncertain terms, that I was talking science fiction and this was a Physics forum.
With Hendo announcing today a 2.0 version of their hoverboard. How...
Ive had a look through the forums regarding this subject but I've found more questions than answers to issues that i would like to know
firstly I am planning on building a perminant magnet hoverboard that floats on a perminant magnet floor
slightly crazy i know
the board is a skateboard in size...
The hoverboard would be a long, sleek, light, metal board with two strong but small fans underneath for power and another one on the end for propulsion. I would be about 3 feet in length, 5 in. in width, and about 4 cm. in height. The metal board would be in the shape of a skateboard but a...

I see that it says it's based on Lenz's law, which says that the induced currents will generate a field that opposes the change in the field. So, I figure they have some kind of oscillating magnetic...
G'day. I was wondering about the possibilities of making a permanent magnet hoverboard that levitates above a permanent magnet floor. They say that these new neodymium magnets can attract hundreds of kilos/pounds. Since repulsion and attraction forces are the same magnitude from what I hear, why...
Hi everyone.
As you may know, it is possible to create a torus or toroidal vortex of air. Some toys such as the air zooka create a torus of air that travels across a room to knock down a light object.
Do you think it is possible to create a device that produces a continuous torus of air...
