Hendo Hoverboard, a Real hoverboard |

It's called the Hendo and it's being developed by Greg and Jill Henderson for their company Arx Pax.
"It's not exactly Marty McFly's hoverboard. Now it only works on special surfaces, and the battery life is only a few minutes long. And it's tough to ride," the New York Times explains in a new video shot at Arx Pax in Los Gatos, California.
According to the New York Times:
The business plan is to develop magnetic technologies and license patents to builders, engineering firms, the Green Goblin and anyone else who might need to hover something.
Mr. Henderson may be a dreamer, but he is enough of a realist to understand that people are likely to be more interested in hovering skateboards than they are in his ideas for new kinds of building foundations.
"So no, I did not feel like Marty McFly. But you can definitely tell you're floating. That's for sure. You can kind of feel that something is lifting you," Conor Dougherty from the New York Times explains.
"We can't go over water or sidewalks yet. This is the Model T," Greg Henderson told the New York Times in defense of his creation.
The Hendo isn't even the Model A. It is currently up for funding on Kickstarter.+ More >> |
