Several companies have drawn on hovercraft technology to attempt and create -like products but none has demonstrated similar experiences to those depicted in films. In the 1950s Hiller aircraft produced the ’Flying Platform’ which was similar to the modern concept of a hover board Airboard was unveiled in the 2000 Sydney Opening Ceremony,6 which was manufactured and sold by Arbortech Industries Limited.7 Series II was unveiled in 2007.8 new hoverboard Rumors circulated in 2001 that inventor Dean Kamen’s new invention, codenamed Ginger, was a transportation device resembling the Hoverboard. In reality Ginger was the Segway Human Transporter, a self-balancing two-wheeled electric transportation device. In 2004, Jamie Hyneman and his team built a makeshift hovercraft for MythBusters, dubbed the Hyneman Hoverboard, from a surfboard and leafblower. However, Jamie’s hoverboard was not very effective. In 2005, Jason Bradbury created a ’hoverboard’ for The Gadget Show, using a wooden board that was levitated by means of a leafblower. The original design was not propelled and could also not be steered. In 2009, a second version was made which was propelled/steered by a small jet engine (rather than a fan as with an air boat), and also contained 2 (more powerful) leafblowers. In 2011, French artist Nils Guadagnin created a hovering board that floats by magnetic repulsion between it and its base but cannot carry a load. The board includes a laser system which ensures stabilization, in addition to an electromagnetic system which makes the levitation possible.9 49403
