Back to the Future Hoverboard is Finally Real, and No, You Can’T Ride It
May 28th, 2010
Apparently the hoverboard that I’ve always wanted has finally become reality. It was made by Nils Guadagnin for a Back to the Future exhibition.
As is obvious from the pics, this is a copy of the one Marty McFly rode in Back to the Future Part II. While it can float, it can’t make you float! There’s an electromagnetic system integrated into the hoverboard which helps it to levitate.
With advancements in technology, it seems like real hoverboards shouldn’t be that far away, I doubt that we’ll be seeing any on the streets any time soon. That’s too bad. I’ve always loved the hoverboard and I have always wanted one.
