God Knows Why, But Lexus Is Actually Working On A Very Cool Hoverboard

Lexus has today revealed it is working on a prototype hoverboard. If you are familiar with a particular movie franchise of the late 1980s, this should make you deliriously happy.

Yep, Lexus's project team has collaborated with "experts in super-conductive technology" to build an actual, working, real-life hoverboard. No joke.

They tell us the team is using magnetic levitation with liquid nitrogen-cooled super-conductors and permanent magnets to "give the hoverboard frictionless movement of a kind that had been thought impossible".

These superconducting hover board publicity projects are becoming really stale.

But at least they show the world that superconducting magnets exist and what they can do.

Lexless cannot separate stupidly from reality. Guess they are hard a work developing a prepetual motion motion to work with their time machine.
