Hoverboard Introduction Since the 2010s, hoverboard has become a common term for self-balancing scooters, although, strictly speaking, such devices don't float. Real hoverboard are usually depicted as a skateboard without wheels
World Records The Guinness Book of World Records defines the hoverboard as an autonomous personal levitator. In May 2015, Romanian-born Canadian inventor Catalan Alexandru Duruy set a Guinness World Record by traveling 275.9 m (302 yards) up to 5 m (16 ft.) above the lake on a self-contained hoverboard. Own design. On April 30, 2016, the Guinness Book of Records set a new record - 2252.4 m (2463.3 yards). The Air fly board was powered by a jet engine and its use allowed Frankie Zapata, in Sausset-les-Pins, France, to break the previous record by almost 2 km (2,200 yards). Another method to achieve self-climbing is superconductivity, used by the Slide hoverboard. Several companies have used technology "vehicles on air cushion" to try to create products like hoverboard, but none of them showed a similar experience with the types of levitation depicted in science fiction movies. Car hovercraft Air board was presented at the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympic Games in Sydney in 2000 and has been manufactured and sold by Arbortech Industries Limited. Series II was introduced in 2007. In 2001, it was rumored that a new invention by inventor Dean Kaman, codenamed “Ginger", was a hoverboard-like transport device. In fact, Ginger was a Segway Human Transporter, a self-balancing two-wheeled electric scooter. In 2004, Jamie Heinemann and his team built a makeshift hovercraft for Myth Busters, dubbed the Hyndman Hoverboard, from a surfboard and leaf blower. However, Jamie's hoverboard was not very effective. In 2005, Jason Bradbury created a hoverboard for the Gadget show using a wooden board that was lifted into the air with a blower. The original structure was not set in motion and also could not be controlled.
Mechanism The board includes a laser system that provides stabilization, in addition to an electromagnetic system that makes levitation possible. In October 2011, Diderot University of Paris in France unveiled the "Mag surf", a superconducting device that hovers 3 cm (1.2 inches) above two magnetized repelling floor rails and can carry up to 100 kg (220 lb.). In March 2014, a company said it had developed technology for hoverboard and released a video advertising the product Tony Hawke, Moby, Terrell Owens and others rides hoverboard through a Los Angeles parking lot. Errors with special effects, such as incomplete removal of wires, definitively identified the video as a prank or joke, tracing them back to the Funny or Die website through actor identification and public links to the project. Later, Funny or Die posted a video in which Christopher Lloyd "apologizes" for cheating. In October 2014, American inventor Greg Henderson demonstrated a prototype of a hoverboard that works on the principle of magnetic levitation. Similar to magnetically suspended trains, a hoverboard requires a
