Last month alucinábamos with Lexus’s latest idea, a floating skateboard, style “Back to the Future” . Alucinábamos because there is still a great gadget. The thought of moving on a table floating in the air still seems science fiction. The challenges that must be faced to achieve something like that, a table that is suspended in the air and as Lexus bear the weight of a person, are many. But Lexus remains confident that there is no challenge so ambitious as to not face it, and Hoverboard is already being tested these days near Barcelona to officially present it, and show all technical details of this technology, on 5 August.
Lexus creates a floating skateboard worthy Back to the Future
Maybe then leave doubts and understand how it works . Right now the doubt that assails us is whether this floating skateboard work on any surface. In recent years we have seen similar technologies and the Hoverboard Lexus, and except surprise, base their operation in superconductors , electromagnets of high power to function properly require that there beneath a metal surface.
The more weight have to withstand, in this case a person, the greater must be its power. The higher the power, the greater the weight of the power supply. And also that power is directly proportional to the heat generated, with which it is essential to use systems based on liquid nitrogen cooling. That would explain the plumes of steam emanating from under the table.

Anyway, in the coming days we will be very attentive to the advances that give us Lexus technology on your hoverboard. What we can come forward is that Lexus will not market this device . In fact, if they decide to sell it is likely to be more expensive than any model Lexus ever sold. Which is saying something.
