Flying on board Hendo - Step into the Future

Yes, this board is similar to the one that was in the second part of Marty's "Back to the Future." Not as cool, but not the movie. But forget the next couple of decades, the possibility to get to this office. Floating board of Hendo - is primarily a demonstration of the technology attracts attention, which aims to change the world.



Clearly demonstrated the use of the system for hovering above the ground, Hover, seem to fall in love all the fans of the trilogy Robert Zemeckis and successfully launched the кампанию on Kickstarter , which resulted in the plan to get at least $ 250 000. At the current rate of fundraising they reach this bar for a few days.



Now you can embark on a hoverboard except on the surface of aluminum or copper, it is uncontrollable, a loud piercing sound, which is why the whole pointless, but its creator Greg Henderson - in whose honor was named the company - believes that the principle of the Hendo Hoverboard can save the whole house from natural disasters, lifting them into the air, and become a substitute in modern magnetic levitation trains. For the development of technology MFA (magnetic field architecture) is responsible Arx Pax, which is the parent company of Hendo.

To one of the first to evaluate the possibility of MFA and even try to implement it on the basis of their ideas, not necessarily at the expense of mailing Hover $ 10, 000 (so you need to get one of the ten prototypes of the board). Enough amount of $ 299, and you get the Whitebox - developer kit, representing a small white box, which is able to break away from the metal surface for a couple of centimeters. Despite its compact size, it is able to withstand loads up to 20 kilograms. By the way, MFA is based on electromagnetism and Lenz's rule.

"Electromagnetic field magnet equally over the whole surface and has a north and a south pole" - explains Henderson. "What if we take this magnet to create a magnetic field on one side only, and then combine it with other magnetic fields to focus and control their power? This is the Magnetic Field Architecture ». According to Greg, the development of his team is absolutely safe, especially in comparison with other varieties of Maglev.

Testing hoverboard as occurs on a flat surface and a small halfpipe to showcase all of its features in the management of which can not be compared with any kind of sport. H4> blockquote> Josh Louenson the material on The Verge notes that the main problem that once you pay attention - the noise, comparing the work of the board flying with air-raid siren. Arx Pax is going to get rid of it in the next year, provided the financial support of a successful project. It is planned to solve the problem and, for example, energy efficiency - currently a prototype able to lift a person only 7 minutes. Also in the plan is to reduce the cost of Hendo Hoverboard, but now the company plans to provide its development in the first place those who are going to refine and use it in their own inventions.

Transrapid 05

Let us return to the prospects of using MFA. Movement of passengers and cargo, using strength of the electromagnetic field, is already commonplace for decades. Transrapid 05, the world's first magnetic levitation train, was created in 1979. Today Maglev - the fastest type of ground transport, characterized by relatively small maintenance costs and electricity. Feature the same technology from Arx Pax in cheapness meters of roads due to lack of need for expensive equipment ways.

But what about the house? In March last year, Greg Henderson filed патент, which describes a system which provides for the engines in the basement of the building, which if necessary will be able to pick it up. It is hard to imagine, given that today only small objects rise to few centimeters. However, to raise greater volume and above a large enough force, but the difficulty lies in the management and stabilization over which the company is now working. For research in this area uses a different box in the shape of a cylinder Manta Ray, which is able to change direction.

Manta Ray

Agree, it's hard to remember a startup with such ambitious goals. If you look at all the way at the end of which Arx Pax learn to move the building, but now they have gone except that the starting point. Construct a controlled hovering board, which costs several times cheaper than the current prototype and sold - already a huge success. It is hoped that they did it, and before rising above the water yet strikingly houses away. Somehow a lot easier to be believed in management of climate and tectonic processes, even the man in the near future than equipping homes similar technologies.
