Hover Boards
A bit about hover boards. People really started thinking about hover boards when they watched the movie “Back To The Future 2” in 1989. Many attempts were had to make such a hover board but most of them required special conditions or just weren’t actually hovering but instead just balancing.

ArcaBoard
Then we have the more traditional type hover board called ArcaBoard which is made by ArcaSpace. It is hover board that uses 36 fans to lift itself without the need of an air curtain or special material below it.

My Hover Board Design
Early in life I wanted to build my own and so I made some preliminary blueprints for it in roughly the 1999. It’s been possible for a very long time, but people generally scoff at such ideas and many engineers don’t really want to attempt to build something like this and when they do, they tend to go for something more exotic because it is more readily available for success.
For now, until I figure out how to put the images up without them being massive, I’ll be using Imgur for the photo hosting.
