    Not sure if I should believe my eyes or not? I’d like to try that myself.

    Thanks,

      How did it after removing of launchpad.

  2. Derek

    how were you able to determined N and S poles? and how long did it take for it to start hovering?

  3. Samuel Ramirez jr

    That is cool, I’m going to make one!!! I wonder if you can do that to a real skateboard? 😀

  4. Ben

    Is this possible or not?! I tried with some magnets I had lying around the house, don’t know if they were neodymium but got no levitation out of it. Please I would like to know if this is fake or not.

  5. Jim

    This is not real. It is possible to levitate magnets with other magnets, see the Levitron top. The reason the Levitron works is because the top is a magnet and spinning it provides stability. There is nothing here to provide stability and the antenna would do absolutely nothing.

  6. Darren

    For those who are wondering how to get the neodymium magnets. Neodymium magnets are the type of magnets that are contained in a computer’s hard drive. So, these are easy to obtain.

    I’m only 14, yet I do have a semi-thorough understanding of basic quantum mechanics 🙂

    If I am correct, this setup should create a transverse electromagnetic wave whose oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of propagation (energy transfer). These waves should be strong enough repel against the opposing changes of the magnetic fields of both the north and south facing neodymium magnets in order to provide lift for the board and keep it stable. Therefore, I can deem this theoretically possible and I will make an attempt to duplicate it. The only thing I’m wondering about is how the board stays airborne after the “Launchpad” is removed… Maybe something related to ratio of the wavelength to the size of the diffracting object? kinematic theory of diffraction?

  8. Master DC. Amazing!
    How about that teleport video that comes up after yours., Fake?

  9. paul

    were do you get the loop antena and where do you get those side stickers

  10. Minecrafter1065

    This is amazing! But i have a few questions. How much weight does this support? And is it possible to reproduce this on a larger scale?

  11. All

    Is it thrut Everything here? or it is videotriki???Who unswer ?

  12. daniel

    it is real.
    to Know which is n and s you think.
    n atracts to s but not n
    s atracts to n but not s.
    it dose not mater if n and s are in difrent spots.
    this works because n repels n away from it.

  13. Chris

    Can you produce a list of things needed to create? Are all the magnets the same size, and how wide and thick are they? A list really is needed, thanks Chris

  14. Cheese

    Has sombody tried? I just really want to now if this works

  15. Alex

    Can humans stand on it if it was large enough? Can you push it around or does it have to stay in the same place?

  16. TC

    The idea seems plausible. Electromagnetics makes it so. Electricity and magnetic forces interact perpendicularly to each other, hence the launch pad. However I’d like dc to explain why the hoverboard remained after the launchpad was removed. Please and thank you

    hi i asked a magnet maker to make me two 6/1/4 ” x 20mm magnets as two big magnets that i could have continually ionized, to have electromagnetic anti gravity, the engineer said it wouldnt work, they’re all in on this not to be used by anyone but the military. anyway it would work on a larger scale with a self contained battery pack as an attached launpad style power supply – batteries, magnets copper, power switch, launch gear, there is a guy that made one and exhibited it france, he didnt show it moving along above ground but displayed up on a platform.

  18. MutleyDog

    I find this hard to believe, I can see no evidence of wires but I would like to know what is hidden under under the charcoal black material. It wouldn’t happen to be a block of copper sitting in a bath of liquid nitrogen would it. I’m not saying this is impossible, because I believe anything is possible given the right conditions doing is believing video’s frequently lie!

  19. Abc

    Excuse me, but what are the sizes (measurements, specifications) of the magnets? Thanks in forward.

  20. It can´t work after strings and magnets are removed unless there are something under the table

  21. Laura

    Someone explain to me, how this works
    its very important

  22. 13 genius

    first he achieves levitation cause of the battery, because if you connect a battery to a metalic object it turn on a electro magnetic field.!

    THAT WAS EASY!!! 😉

  23. Moondrop

    I know this works and is real. I’m in the process of making a PROPER hoverboard myself and i am only 12. Me and my friend (12 also) are working on one that has more features like electronic stablization, turning and MORE! The board will be like the new iPhone- Every is buying one. Look for names either C.W. or H.B. 🙂

    P.S. Also u helped me DestinationCreation with an idea. Thx

    MD

  24. Stephen

    I saw something like this on an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation called Contagen.

  25. Abby

    hey I was wondering if I could get a list or something because I really want to make one or a few and I don’t know where to get the magnets or what they really are even though it says it I just don’t know what sixe they are

  26. simom

    ich glaube dieses viedeo schon aber ich habes versucht hat nicht geklappt welche Neodym-Magneten muss man da nehmen?

  27. it is awesome and so cool
    I tried for it but first I failed but then I was able to make it its real

  28. Bhargav

    What is the use of a loop antenna? Connections of the launch pad were not so clear. can you explain them again? Where to get the loop antenna?

  29. Bhargav

    What did you mean by adjust and balance? How to adjust and balance?

  30. raya

    can you make a bigger one and send it to me

  31. klr

    after the launching nothings perfectly belevable
    please explain

  32. bhargav

    Is loop antenna required for sure of would a straight antenna work?

  33. CCN

    What is the material of the board, it’s not wood but like a foam kind could someone please give me the name for my school project

  34. advanced

    Someone sent this to me and asked what I thought…and for all the builder hopefuls on here a couple notes; First, in reviewing all the comments, no one has taken into consideration the earths own magnetic field and influence separate from all the devices that are removed – essentially functions like a much bigger antenna surrounding the whole system. Second, if you’re trying to scale up, take into consideration the size of the antenna relative to the board and what its function is (consult a second year college engineering physics book). Third – you do not have to buy a loop antenna,it is just some metal wire surrounded by plastic, would be stronger if you made your own without plastic and different gauge/metal. Fourth – Scale up requires larger electrical energy supply and understanding of the physics of each component – gain that understanding and build a board you can ride around the living room. Good luck.

  35. Banana

    I have built two of these myself. I used a very light balsa wood structure to build it, it works fine except that somehow they only last about 1/2 an hour, then they have to be polarized again. I do not understand why!

  36. SolidSixx

    What size and strength magnets should I use?

  37. JoeyJ

    Banana – Would you please tell me how you connected the battery, magnet and loop antenna? Thanks in advance!

  38. Isabel V.

    What do you use for the actual board?

  39. niqwer

    What is the loop antenna for?? Short circuit?? Can i also use a lamp or something like this so there is no short circuit?

  40. Zach Egziabher

    What are the materials for the hoverboard

  41. Cole U

    What are the materials for the hoverboard.

  42. joseph

    What are the materials for the hover board

  43. James

    It is possible in fact. There is the bullet train in Japan that is the exact same concept… but with a train. This proving that it can be mad to a larger scale and ca possibly be the future of hover boards.

  44. kish da fish

    i am going to try that myself with my friend at shcool

  45. kerehona

    i believe this and does it have to be just neodymium magnets? ive got the loop antenna and the coathanger ready but not the magnets yet.

  46. kerehona

    i believe that next year their will be a prototype ready but first we need to know how to move the board instead of just staying in one spot spinning. any ideas? im only 16 years old

  47. kere

    the things we need to focus on is

    1) is anyone going to build a bigger one.
    2) how can we make it shift forward only.

  48. Brandon

    I am currently working on a larger one. The hoverboard is probably made out of foam board.

  49. Me

    I’m trying to make it but I can’t get it to float. What am I doing wrong?

  50. mike park

    Please let me konw how get i magnetic RF launch pad and what is it bottom of basement ? is it ironable or normal floor ?
    Thanks in advance for your assist

    Mike park

  51. Alex

    How are the loop antenna and metal hanger connected? Do you have to strip the coating off the wire?

  52. John Utime

    Alright, I bought a delorean toy car and I will put the magnets inside it, will it still work? And if it does, what is the use of the loop antenna?

  53. Lily

    I can’t make this work, is there a specific connection needed between the hanger and the antenna?

  54. What is that green and pink thing you out into the baord? Is it necessary to use that?

  55. Robert

    I found the decals simply by googling “BTTF2 Hoverboard decals” which let me to a forums page and a link to a PDF file I downloaded the file and whala had it.
    (Need to get ink for my printer then print them out.)

    For the board material I am using foam poster board.

    You’ll need an exacto knife to cut it out, just cut out the decals then use the scrap paper to trace the outline on the board.

    I bought the neodymium or earth magnets at a craft store, you’ll need 8 and they are .5 inches x 12.7 mm. How the video shows to place them N “North” and S “South” you can figure out that by being aware that, “opposites attract” (in the magnetic world). YouTube has videos to help you out.

    For the loop antenna, I had one on an old stereo system, but they can be found at hobby shops, or you can follow youtube videos on how to make your own.

    The battery is a AA.

    I will post as I test it out, have fun!

  56. TQ

    Thanks for all the descriptions, they’ll be put to good use in my next school project.

    TQ

  57. John

    i made it just with a skateboard THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!:D

  58. augustine8131

    This really shows that there are still individuals that value what they submit on the web. I truly loved reading the comments.

  59. Fayz Saleem

    i want to ask that is this hoverboard also work on every type of floor

  60. christine

    Can someone tell me how this floats? Is the board repelling another magnet on the table in order for it to stay in the air?

  61. Please tell your viewers what it is made of and they just might give you 1000000000$.

  62. And I recommend you giving a link to your YouTube video on how to make it please?

  63. middle schooler

    What is the actual board made out of Styrofoam? we would like to make one of these in our local science fair

  64. umesh

    sir what is that magnetic RF launchpad …how i can make that at home

  65. hoverer

    Can anyone tell me how to connect the antenna to the hanger and what is the hanger made up of ,I mean what metal?

  66. Tom8sakuiak

    Hey can i make the same thing with a large one

  67. Matthew

    If i makes it work ima get an old skate board and take wheels off and try stronger magnets in that add 2 loose magnets for vertical and horizontal parts so when i lean it moves faster

  68. Matthew

    You can make theese and sell em for like 75 to 100 $ each and make a huge profit i know some people who want a real hover board for 250$ wow!

  69. Billy Suomela

    Sustain the incredible work !! Lovin’ it!|
