VIDEO: Lexus shows off its hoverboard in action

Lexus has unveiled its hoverboard, which really works.

Many were sceptical after seeing preview videos of the device, but Lexus’ latest video has the proof that the technology works.

Before you get too excited, the hoverboard needs a metallic surface to work. The board relies on liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors and permanent magnets to generate enough magnetism to ‘levitate’ above a metal track.
