In June Lexus unveiled the world levitating skateboard hoverboard. Today we can see what make this unusual device.
Draft Lexus hoverboard began 18 months ago in collaboration with scientists from the IFW Dresden and the company evico GmbH, which specializes in the technology of magnetic levitation. After a series of tests in laboratories in Dresden, performed by professional skateboardzisty, Ross McGourana, the team decided to see what stand hoverboard.
The team moved to Barcelona, where he built a specially designed skate park, where you could use driving techniques, figures and habits of the environment skaters with the specificity magnetic levitation technology. Barcelona was transported to the magnetic track 200 m, which is mounted beneath the surface skatepark. Ross tried on him unique tricks on a skateboard that simple can not afford, for example. Ride on the water. Film Fri. Slide the registrant tests in Barcelona, he directed the award-winning Henry-Alex Rubin. Next hoverboard and Ross McGourana take part in it as the Lexus GS F
“I ride a skateboard for 20 years, but riding a Hoverboardzie without friction element is a completely new experience, requiring new skills. I had to work out an optimal attitude and a way of maintaining balance “- said Ross.
technology levitating skateboard Lexus based on two cryostats – containers in which the superconductor is cooled to -197 ° C with liquid nitrogen. Board is set above the track containing the permanent magnet. As explained by Dr. Oliver de Haas, CEO of evico: “The magnetic field keeps the distance between the board and the track, causing levitation. The field is so strong that keeps a man’s weight, even when performing tricks and jumps on board “.
