Lexus unveils Back to the Future Hoverboard

Lexus has announced a breakthrough in creating a working hoverboard that fans of the Back to the Future trilogy will know.

As stated in the official press release, superconductors and permanent magnets cooled by liquid nitrogen are used to create the levitation effect. The board itself is constructed from materials commonly used to create Lexus flagship vehicles.

It should be noted that so far the hoverbrd is fully functional only over a metallized surface, for example, special "slides" in parks for skaters, but in the near future the developers promise to create a universal "flying board" that will not work only over water. p>

Recall that the main character of the trilogy "Back to the Future" Marty McFly got his hands on the hoverboard in the second part, when he went with his friend Doc Brown in 2015. Nike has pledged to release a working shoe with automatic closure in late 2015, which was also featured in Back to the Future 2. The corresponding mechanism was patented by the company a long time ago, but only now are there compact and powerful enough autonomous power supplies to make such sneakers a reality.
