Lexus Releases Another Look at Its Hoverboard Prototype With Pro Skater Ross McGouran
“It literally feels like I’m starting all over again from the beginning — it’s never been done before.”
Following the first video of the hoverboard that Japanese carmaker Lexus has been developing, we have here another look at the groundbreaking anti-gravity technology in video form. Recruiting the help of pro skater Ross McGouran to test the hoverboard prototype, we see the device levitate a few inches off the ground with the help of what Lexus describes as “liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors and permanent magnets” to create magnetic levitation. Having test ridden the hoverboard, McGouran describes the experience as feeling like “I’m starting all over again from the beginning … There’s no friction underneath you at all and I’m forgetting what I’m actually doing — floating on air.” With much of the details about the hoverboard still under wraps, be sure to watch this space for any new developments concerning this leap into the future.
