Ladies and gentlemen, the world’s first hoverboard is here! Well, that is if you have $10,000 to spare, millions of dollars to pave your city’s streets in copper, and don’t put a high value on stability or safety. Let me revise that first statement. If you want to experience the joy of friction-free motion in specially tailored environments (copper-lined skate parks, essentially), and have $10,000 to spare, then the world’s first hoverboard is indeed here. It’s called the Hendo — named after its inventor, Greg Henderson — and it uses the same kind of electromagnetic levitation that allows maglev trains to buzz through the countryside at 300 mph. The main caveat is that, as with all forms of magnetic levitation, you need a special surface for the magnets to push against — you can’t just take your maglev train or Hendo hoverboard and levitate over concrete, wood, or water. The main trick behind the Hendo is a technology that its inventor calls “magnetic field architecture” (MFA). Despite Henderson “patenting the hell out of the idea” there are very few technical details of how MFA actually works. From various interviews, though, it sounds like MFA is essentially a way of focusing a magnetic field. By focusing the field, it theoretically becomes possible to gain the same amount of electromagnetic oomph while using less power — and if you tweak the field carefully, you can also use it for steering and balance, which are two of the biggest difficulties when it comes to maglev.
