Remember those classified ads for hoverboards along with x-ray glasses? They’re still at it, but this time it’s for real. Future Horizons is offering construction plans for a ‘real’ hoverboard. Floating 1 inch off the ground, it’s not quite a dream hoverboard, but you could build it with non-fictional parts for $500 or buy one fully assembled for $9000.

Hover Boardz | really real hoverboards, coming soon?

Airboard | hoverboard from the Sydney Olympics
ive always wanted to fly but do you guys sell them yet i would buy one
I really appreciate this idea, and got a better idea of antigravity technology when I watched the movie back to the future ; I believe that this idea would eliminate and replace gas engines without moving machanics mechanisms . I like the idea of light compaqed weight . no radiator not anti freeze or heavy dangerous components and cooling systems built into transportation would easily be easy to build in more space and safer equipment for better energy and accident efficient transportations cars,buses, transports, air planes, and just about anything that transports.
How do i purchase ond of them from you?
do they go by them selfs or do you have to push them
hi can i get a hoverboard for Christmas or is it too early for that
could get one for free
man i want to ride a hoverboard i always wanted to feel flying and please get back to me when it comes out
that hover board is cool and all but only hovering one inch that kinda sucks but still kinda cool i guess. but using plasmagnetic levitation or electromagnetic induction rather then using propellers to lift the hover-board/you,it would be better and probably lift you higher and would last as long as you like(forever if the theory’s or correct.)but thats just what i found out through an hour of searching on the net.and also who would pay 9000 dollars to anyone to build a hover-board when you can build one for under 500 that just sounds crazy to me.
people have idea’s-it would never be a board it would be round with baby jet engines driving propellers-you will not see one untill it can be produced by left overs and then it will require a polots licence-but dont worry cigerette companies will still be around
future horisons dosent tell you where to buy them but it dose tell you how to make them for a small price in total the hovarboard will cost 500

As newly joined user i only wanted to say hi to everyone, even though i know that nobody really cares
