Engineers Invented Working Hoverboards From Back To The Future II

The world has discovered a number of innovative inventions through science. Talking about big inventions such as electronic vehicles (that can be self-driven and have proved to be efficient in the use of technology) which seem to be the future of automotive industry and then discussing about inventions such as flying cars, which we can’t even think of! While some innovations are perceived as an asset, others seem to be unattainable. Today, technology has made our lives so much easier that we wished of having such inventions long years back!

Having said that, two engineers had just finished watching the film named “Back to the Future II” and they were obsessing over the ferocious hoverboard that it pictured. Science enthusiasts as they were, they came up with the real life hoverboard. They created a completely working hoverboard! Isn’t that insane? Though it seemed to be a pointless invention, they thoughtfully created a hoverboard which was once thought to be only the province of Michael J. Fox in his prime! They had successfully brought the hoverboard from fiction to reality.

The person behind the invention was so popular that he had a huge fan base on a social media platform. He had an account online which was known by the name HackSmith Industries. He had actually created a working hoverboard. Although, the board did catch on fire a couple of times when it was being tested, he along with a mechanical engineering student fine-tuned the product and it actually worked. The student came up with the right procedure to make it work. He was the mastermind behind the board.

The prototype looked chic. It was quite amusing for those who were into engineering, science or those who just liked fun things. Although the boys were working really hard to make it as close as it was in the film, it was equally amusing to even watch a group of people that were trying to make working prototypes of stuff that we only see in movies!

The duo used limited tech for creating the board as they used a bunch of super-powerful magnets. The prototype was able to hover due to an array of powerful, spinning magnets. But the problem was that it worked only when kept above a good metal conductor. This had its own drawbacks. The hoverboard couldn’t be taken on the roads. It worked only over a sheet of metal as it utilized electrical currents to hover. So it was not exactly ‘road-ready.’

The hoverboard created by the two was probably the best real-life version of the film’s prop that was ever seen!
