Video: Story of Lexus Hoverboard

After teasing the world for months, Lexus shows off its fully functioning HOVERBOARD. Yes, it still doesn't move on every surface but it sure is going to give you goose-bumps if you get to ride it!
Now let's look at the science behind it: Lexus hoverboard works on the very same principle of the magnetic levitation train work. So riding it would basically be like straddling a maglev train. You will see steam coming off both sides. That's liquid nitrogen, cooling the superconductors to -321 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature at which they become superconducting.
Here's a video showing the development of the hoverboard from day 1!
