A hobbyist has managed to make a hoverboard with the help of components of leaf blowers. Because he is the instructions for the build it yourself has put online, it is game for others to make.
Details of the so-called Mr. Hoverboard appeared on the blog of Ryan Craven. The do-it-yourself hoverboard is based on a skateboard where the four leaf blowers from Black & Decker are mounted. The blowers blow by openings through which the air down to conduct, so the game eventually gets off the ground. With the instructions on the blog of Craven people interested in the board itself doing so. Incidentally, it is to build hoverboards with leaf blowers is not new: Craven admits that he has the concept of others has learnt.
According to Craven, is his hoverboard tested with people who are approximately 80 pounds. Or the board even heavier people can float so is not yet clear. The maker has a video posted online in which he has his hoverboard, actually. To see is that he is a little above the ground floating, but that the sign is not very easy to control.
Earlier started the American company Hendo all with a crowd funding campaign for the sale of a hoverboard. The concept of Hendo works by creating an electromagnetic field, and thus works only on a metal substrate.
