Still remember when Marty
McFly, in the movie Back to the Future 2, running boards fly? Lexus tried to
make it happen this year.
Automakers Toyota Motor was
reportedly is developing a flying board inspired from the film. As evidence,
Lexus present a video board that plane, named Slide.

Promo video posted on YouTube that display the Slide can
bring anyone standing on it to move. Its use is almost the same as wearing a
skateboard.
"Slides can fly by relying superconducting cold of
liquid nitrogen. Plus the aid of magnets. On it there is a board of bamboo for
the footrest," said a spokesman for Lexus, in the video.
Quoted from PC World, June 24, 2015, on the Slide able to
create a superconducting magnetic levitation. A Cryotat, or a device to
regulate low temperature, cooling the liquid nitrogen on the board and make a
superconductor is always cold. When the cold-temperature superconductors, he
creates an electrical current that can withstand a magnet, so that the board
can float without having contact with the base.
This means that, to be able to fly using the Hover board,
takes the road surface is completely made of magnets. If is made of asphalt, do
not expect the board to float.
Slide claimed does not require a battery or energy
supply. He just needed a magnet embedded in the surface in order to make the
board floats, by utilizing each magnet on the board and on the surface.
The Lexus said that if this device will not be sold in
the market. But they determined that the trial will be conducted the next few
weeks in Barcelona.
