The 'Back to the Future' working hoverboard is exciting 80s film fans everywhere, I would think. The working hoverboard floats just like the one in the film except, well, don't stand on it.
Artist Nils Guadagnin recreated the iconic hoverboard as a perfect replica except with the fantastic addition of magnets and a laser stabilization system. Watch as Guadagnin pushes down on the board and it reacts by bouncing. The 'Back to the Future' working hoverboard is just so cool!
