Hendo Hoverboard

World's first REAL hoverboard (pre-launch)

Visit site ↗Alternativestop 1% of October 2014

In plain words

The Hendo Hoverboard is a magnetic levitation device designed to lift and propel a human rider above metal surfaces. It uses electromagnetic technology to create stability and can be controlled by a rider or operated remotely. The device currently works with standard metal sheets and the team is developing new materials and configurations to improve performance and reduce manufacturing costs. It represents an early implementation of functional hoverboard technology for personal transportation.

From the sources

While the Hendo hoverboard is primarily intended to be human-driven, the technology that gives it stability can also be used to drive it via remote control by altering the projected force on the surface underneath it. Right now we use commonly available metals in simple sheets to give the hoverboard “flight”, but we are working on new compounds and new configurations to maximize our technology and minimize costs.

  • Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
