+Kyle Hill I'm following you up on the video about Hoverboards um on the hendo Hoverboard if the spinning thing on the hendo hover board spun faster with a stronger motor would the levitation be higher
I always though that the problem, that the BttF hoverboard has with water, is not that it won't hover, but that there is no way to propel yourself forward.
Just curios but like Lenz's law, does making magnets repulsion repeatedly could make hoverboard real? What I mean is that, does making the magnets repeatedly making repulsion would give a result some sort of waves? Would it still be heating for long time?
The Mcfly hoverboard would most likely be the first kind, and the future city he visits just paves its roads with conductive materials so that hover vehicles work. It wouldn't work when he went to the old west, though.
These are not hover boards, they are magnetic levitation devices similar to those in use in some high speed trains. Since they cannot operate on all surfaces they do not meet even the basic predictions (if you want to call it that) made in Back to the Future.
I rather enjoy these, the enthusiasm for science just makes me smile, and we've shown a few to some students in schools and it really gets them all geared up. Kyle's doing a great job, and long may it continue.
For a hoverboard to work using the earth's magnetic field, it would need to be extremely dense. This would mean that it would also be extremely heavy and difficult to move.
+Rami Ungar I'll paraphrase Rod Serling who once defined science fiction as "the improbable made possible". So go ahead, use your idea, it's improbable enough to be possible. Besides, on a selfish note, I really like the idea :D
I rarely comment, primarily because I don't want to look like an idiot, but you should know that because science is one of my favorite things on youtube. And considering how much I love the nerdist channel in total, that's saying something.
+Kyle Hill Kyle Hill?Bobby Hill? Bobby-o=Bbby. Now add the O to Kyle. Kyle+o=Kylo. Now don't forget about Bbby. Subtract a B from it. Bbby-B=bby. bby is Before Battle of Yavin. Now, Even Radical SW fans can't deny that the first letters in Now,Even, and Radical spell out NER. Butt in Arizona, a common bird is the Cactus Wren. Butt no one likes Cactus so they're called Wrens but we also don't like the letter w. so we get Ren .now add Kylo and Ren. Now we get Kyle Hill's true identity. Kylo Ren! (because science)
There was a mini-documentary or something out there that i saw that featured the Lexus board, talking about the possible future practical applications of the science involved in it, and it was amazing to consider. Assuming continued development in this field, 20-30 years from now could and the developed world could start looking very different, Dare I say, we get our "flying cars"? :P.
although this video assumes the pavement in back to the future 2 doesn't have a metal under structure (for both hovering and snow melting purposes) this would also explain why marty's board starts to fail as soon as he goes over the pond, as the metallic sub layer gets deeper under him as it would follow the bottom of the pond. biff Jr's hover-board (made for adults) probably has much stronger magnets set so it can hover higher up over that track. snow removal is just my first idea as I live in Canada, but the metal under structure could also be the top of sewers systems in BTTF 2's 2016
We have them in the year the movie predicted because the movie predicted it. Science fiction often makes claims that inspires scientists who go on to not only discover incredible things, but also to find a way to achieve t the things that inspired them. That's why technology often reflects scifi, because that's how we dreamed it and now we want it. That said, it's still incredible to have technology advancing so swiftly.
Many people seem to be under the impression that technology is lagging, simply because we don't have flying cars or free-roaming hover-boards, by now. Yet, they fail to realize that just because something can be done w/ special effects in a movie, it doesn't mean that it is feasible or even practical. The first real prototype of a flying car, was the Aerocar, built in 1949. However, in the end it never reached the production phase, as it was extremely unpractical. Not only was there a requirement that the operator have both a drivers and pilots license, but it also required the use of a trailer, which was used to tow the wings, when they weren't in use. As for the hover-board, the main question comes down to whether it's even feasible to create a free-roaming hover-board (without wheels) at a reasonable price, that not only floats at least 6-8 inches from the ground, but is also not tied to a magnetic rail or metal path, etc. Regardless, I will say that there have been some great discoveries and inventions, that may have never been conceived otherwise. Therefore, even if we never see a legitimate hover-board, the developments and technologies that will inevitably branch off of these attempts, will ultimately surpass the original idea.
Flux pinning! I've watched a few videos about it, but there didn't seem to be a consensus about whether the magnetic field surrounded the metal, or if it went through it. Apparently it's both. :O
These hover boards are closer to the ones in Scott Westerfield's book "Uglies" then the ones in Back to the Future, but I'm sure we'll get those hover boards eventually.
In the future, they could make public paths specifically made with a metal material so that people with hoverboards can use them anywhere the path goes!!!
+Jackson Roah Whats wrong with wheels? The most important reason why we don't use Hover cars and boards is because they don't fail-safe well. When something goes wrong.Do you want to be inside something that's flying? or riding across the surface?
Well, a hover board is hovering and not flying. So you should only be comparing that to something shaped the same and used about the same, which is a skateboard. There are many reasons for crashing on a skateboard and they all mostly include falling from collisions, WITH the course they are on. Hitting the rails wrong, grinding wrong, just the lines on the fucking sidewalk. All of that is mute when you're hovering above all of that. Sure the rails are iffy in this example, but theoretically the landing will be better cause you're barely landing at the end. All the trip hazards are gone and you're left with just keeping balance. The boards seem stable enough to keep balance. Plus as this suggests, even if we made hoverboards a nationwide thing, I'm sure the planners would only incorporate an extra bit for sidewalks, in parks, and in skate/hover areas. We'll probably never get hover/bumber cars, but, a hoverboard is completely fathomable. Even if you fall off the hoverboard...at ground level, you're essentially only falling off the last step from your porch. If you're saying that it's more dangerous to fall off while going at the same speed of a skateboard, then you're challenging mostly the speed of going. And so those who agree with you, if they are in some kind of power, will use your challenge of speed as a way to do away with even your skateboard that seem to not have a problem with at all.
It would be super cool if you did something with the science behind how the rocket rollerblades work in the anime "air gear" is something like this even possible?
i studied the electrical field, so im having a hard time with (0 ohms) because its my understanding that running current through a wire always creates resistance. under a spectral light reader i believe youd be able to see there is some resistance.
I wouldn't say it's entirely a coincidence but it's also not so much a matter of some miraculous clairvoyance on the part of the creative minds behind Back to the Future 2. It's probably more a matter of the people developing these technologies setting 2015 as a goal because they thought it would be cool to make those predictions come true, if only to a limited degree. It's also really good cross-promotional marketing.
+Tom Leonard Yup, like the power laces recently (BTTF 2), flip phones (Star Trek: TOS) tablets, tricorders and capacitive touch screens (Star Trek: TNG) ad infinitum
+Kyle Hill Question, would this theory be the reason Magneto "flies" in the comics? Would his body treat itself like a super conductor or maybe a type II version of one. So when he "Flies" he's really hovering over the metals in the Earth and his magnetic manipulation would be the small amount of magnetism travelling through his body?
What if our 2015 is actually an alternative timeline, because we found out too much about our own future in 1985 which explains why we don't already have flying cars or hover boards.
You could make the first hoverboard you showed work on any service. Since everything is magnetic to certain degree you would just need extremely extremely powerful magnets attached to the board.
You can use dry ice you put dry ice under a surfboard the vapor of dry ice keep pushing towards the ground so when dry ice melts the vapors keep the board floating
Good job kyle these videos are the only ones I watch now. Keep up the good work. Have you thought bout putting science against biblical events? Im very curious if things could be explained in the bible.
nah, that'd be messed up. though thor does "sort of" have a bit of tony in him personality wise at the start of the mcu thor movie and even about halfway through his banishment it's still kind of there.
What about using ultrasonic sound transducers for hovering? I think that would be a much easier method to shrink down and make portable if/when they can make them more powerful. (Plus I also think they would have a much harder time working over water ;-) )
In school I wanted to design a hover board and I actually used the super conductor design it's cool too think that it would've worked and I got the idea from bio shock infinite
Well I bet when they said in the movie we would have hover boards they didn't know we would actually, but the people that watched it must've been like HECK YEAH! LETS BUILD ME SOME HOVER BOARDS!!!!
so after hearing about that pipe thing i remembered i had a 14 in piece of 1/2 in diameter copper pipe and a couple of small but strong magnets. so yea I tried just what was in the video and ^_^ it worked. it made me almost sequel it was so awesome
BIG QUESTION... if someone were daring enough to make something like the lexus board in a more long board body and manage to go down a huge hill, since no contact is being made with the ground, how fast would someone be able to go??? O_O... Obviously including wind resistance.
When I think of a hoverboard, I think of a literal hoverboard that can go up, down, left, right, front, back, in all sorts of directions. I think of it as a new method of transportation. That would help out humanity's problems by a ton. Why? Because science.
Al we need is a way to create flux with other materials like cement/concrete. (Because that's only one thing to change, where as if you used the liquid nitrogen type of boards you would need to change a few things to make it equally as convenient)
+Kyle Hill I'm sorry but didn't Douglas Adams already invent this along with flight? All you need to do is drop your board on the ground and miss, then simple step on. Away you go!
Its not a coincidence, people saw the movie, liked the hover board, wanted one, and worked tirelessly to figure out how to make it. Its more like causality.
is it possible to tap into the earths magnetic feild with a extreamly powerful maget, it may not be as compact, but you could use in anywhere(practically)
It's...very much not a coincidence: we made them because they looked cool in a movie and we did our best to make them by now because that's what the movie told us.
what would happen if you got a magnetic ball, put it in a round room were the walls are super powerful magnets that are powered by electricity, and you set the room to have the same magnetic pole. would it shrink? and what if you set the room to be opposite poles? would it pull apart?
Nerdist. Kyle I actually had this idea that hendo had. However hendo had a problem with their design. There is no "edge" this means you cannot control where you go. It's funny because that can be solved with a simple configuration change of the magnets. Using carbon discs with neodymium magnets with alternating poles along it they have four discs to rotate clockwise and to rotate counter-clockwise this prevents the board from just spinning in a circle but this is absolutely the worst design that you could come up with for a hoverboard when you ride a skateboard and you want to ride a hoverboard when you lean left you want to turn left when you lean right you want to turn right. does this make sense? If you find time in your busy schedule to read this comment and I would happily share my design configuration with you just not on a public forum like this so an email or something I would happily explain the correct way that you would use this type of magnetic levitation for a hoverboard. It's funny I actually saw them attempting to hook electric motors to each set of there neodymium magnet discs to swivel it directions to steer it is so dumb I can't believe that such smart people that figured out this type of magnetic levitation can't figure out how to let you steer it
So were the hoverboards featured in the movie because they knew that 26 years later we would have that kind of technology, or do modern hoverboards exist because the movie featured them which inspired the imagination of people who grew up to create them.
The technology used in both of these so-called hover boards where well known before BttF was made. What allowed these units to gain notoriety is the internet.
i've just noticed something: if Kyle dyed his hair a lil more blonde, shaved, put on make up, put his hair in a pony tail and put on some glasses, he'd look like Felicity Smoak from Arrow 😂 bet i ruined some fanboys nights with that!!! 😂
+VivaLaGTA Having no clue who you were on about and thinking it just a little weird I googled.... HOLY SHIT!!! you're right, especially in the link in my following comment (just in case it gets flagged as spam, that's getting annoying).
Why Do People Capitalize The Beginning Of Every Word Sometimes? This Looks Like A Title, And I Wonder If It's Because English Isn't Your First Language.
+"Once There Was An Ugly Barnacle, He Was SO Ugly That Everyone Died, the end" -Patrick Pinhead Star I used to capitalize everything all the time, then I stopped because I started to annoy myself as much as it seems to annoy you.
+Greg Page Yeah, I wasn't being mean, I was just saying I think it's weird that people do that and it might be because they're not from a country that its official language is English.
Some people just press Shift with the start of every word, some leave Caps Lock on and some never use any kind of punctuation. It just depends on what feels natural to them. Regardless of how annoying it is to everyone else. It happens in any language whether it's their first, second or eleventh language.
So hendo has the magnet in the board and the conductorl in the floor and spins the magnets for flux. The other one has the magnets in the floor and the conductor in the board and uses superconducting for flux.
I don't know why but this show always makes me grin. The rabid enthusiasm for science from Kyle reminds me of the early years of Bill Nye.
+Dragonivon That is very high praise. Thank you!
+Kyle Hill
are you the real kyle hill?
no he oposts with the Nerdist account, then signs -KH
Accept Bill Nye was feed this info, he holds no Degree in science itself, he was a plane engineer who just got a lucky break with someone he know.
because science is probably my favorite series on the nerdist channel
+reverseball4life Same
+reverseball4life There are other series?
J BS lol why would you watch anything else. i already tried the others. i only go the best 😉
Not a coincidence man. We have these hover boards because of the movie and it's success - drove the whole development.
I'm still waiting on the Because Science episode on Kyle's perfect hair

I always though that the problem, that the BttF hoverboard has with water, is not that it won't hover, but that there is no way to propel yourself forward.
Let's all appreciate that he wrote backwards just for us at 3:15

Probably one of better Because Science chapter I´ve seen!! And speaking about new ones, still can´t understand well how a lightsaber works XD...
I freaking love this segment, definitely my favorite from Nerdist! Kyle Hill is so enjoyable to watch!
I rather enjoy these, the enthusiasm for science just makes me smile, and we've shown a few to some students in schools and it really gets them all geared up. Kyle's doing a great job, and long may it continue.
I had no idea that the Hendo Hoverboard was that simple to make! I am currently trying to make one myself thanks to this vid.
lol This is actually helping for final vce Physics exam next week!!!
+unstopableguy1 Awesome!
Kyle, hoverboards need magnetic surfaces to hover off of. Could they use the Earth's magnetic field to push off the ground?
+Rami Ungar The Earth's magnetic field is far too weak, much, much weaker than a refrigerator magnet.
Kyle Hill Dammit, the hovercraft in my sci-fi trilogy rely on Earth's magnetic field.
For a hoverboard to work using the earth's magnetic field, it would need to be extremely dense. This would mean that it would also be extremely heavy and difficult to move.
Suddenly I'm glad it's science fiction, and I can cheat a little on the science part.

Hey this is awesome, but don't forget about the omniboard. It goes over any surface very high but does have moving propellers.

I really dig how much of kick you seem to get out of doing the "Because Science" videos.
I always dance along to your intro
Kyle. You're one of my favorite science guys.
And why?
BECAUSE SCIENCE! AND HUMOR :D
Please, more tech sector stuff! That was cool!
Flux pinning! I've watched a few videos about it, but there didn't seem to be a consensus about whether the magnetic field surrounded the metal, or if it went through it. Apparently it's both. :O
Very cool video. Magnetic properties still baffle my medival mindset.
.....Warlock!!!!!!
These hover boards are closer to the ones in Scott Westerfield's book "Uglies" then the ones in Back to the Future, but I'm sure we'll get those hover boards eventually.

+Jackson Roah Whats wrong with wheels?
The most important reason why we don't use Hover cars and boards is because they don't fail-safe well.
When something goes wrong.Do you want to be inside something that's flying? or riding across the surface?
+Andrew Ryuukie Hoverboards are faster
Well, a hover board is hovering and not flying. So you should only be comparing that to something shaped the same and used about the same, which is a skateboard. There are many reasons for crashing on a skateboard and they all mostly include falling from collisions, WITH the course they are on. Hitting the rails wrong, grinding wrong, just the lines on the fucking sidewalk. All of that is mute when you're hovering above all of that. Sure the rails are iffy in this example, but theoretically the landing will be better cause you're barely landing at the end. All the trip hazards are gone and you're left with just keeping balance. The boards seem stable enough to keep balance. Plus as this suggests, even if we made hoverboards a nationwide thing, I'm sure the planners would only incorporate an extra bit for sidewalks, in parks, and in skate/hover areas. We'll probably never get hover/bumber cars, but, a hoverboard is completely fathomable. Even if you fall off the hoverboard...at ground level, you're essentially only falling off the last step from your porch. If you're saying that it's more dangerous to fall off while going at the same speed of a skateboard, then you're challenging mostly the speed of going. And so those who agree with you, if they are in some kind of power, will use your challenge of speed as a way to do away with even your skateboard that seem to not have a problem with at all.
Money would probably be more well invested in developing rideable quadricopters
It would be super cool if you did something with the science behind how the rocket rollerblades work in the anime "air gear" is something like this even possible?
Whoa... This is heavy!
+Brian Holmes Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there something wrong with the earth's gravitational pull?
+Captain Pantaloons too many heavy spheres.
No, it's just that kids didn't exercise as much, and so are less capable of lifting heavy objects.
I was afraid for a moment you were going to talk about the Segway-type hoverboards... Thank you for talking about the real thing!
Yaaaaay it's because science time!
You simply have to channel 1.21 gigawatts into the flux capacitor. Because the flux capacitor is what. Makes. Time Travel. Possible...
i studied the electrical field, so im having a hard time with (0 ohms) because its my understanding that running current through a wire always creates resistance. under a spectral light reader i believe youd be able to see there is some resistance.

01:58 By now people probably already pointed out, but the masses need to be counter-rotating or else the whole board will rotate the other way.
This was the perfect video to alleviate my 'board'-dom...
Flux pinning is apparently how the city floats in bioshock infinite
I've heard recently about levitating objects with sound waves, could this be the future of hover boards? Riding on sound waves?
+Kyle Hill Question, would this theory be the reason Magneto "flies" in the comics? Would his body treat itself like a super conductor or maybe a type II version of one. So when he "Flies" he's really hovering over the metals in the Earth and his magnetic manipulation would be the small amount of magnetism travelling through his body?
I've always thought the Back to the Future hover board was somehow using the planet's natural magnetic fields to hover on. Is that even possible?
yes.
What if our 2015 is actually an alternative timeline, because we found out too much about our own future in 1985 which explains why we don't already have flying cars or hover boards.
+KayLol 374 yes, totally, obviously, no doubt!
I want an episode on the science of writing backwards so good.
yes I know its just the type of glass.
You could make the first hoverboard you showed work on any service. Since everything is magnetic to certain degree you would just need extremely extremely powerful magnets attached to the board.
You can use dry ice you put dry ice under a surfboard the vapor of dry ice keep pushing towards the ground so when dry ice melts the vapors keep the board floating
The awesome part for me about Back To The Future is that my birthday is on the 21st of October xD
Good job kyle these videos are the only ones I watch now. Keep up the good work. Have you thought bout putting science against biblical events? Im very curious if things could be explained in the bible.
It's like Bruce Banner or Tony Stark had a child with Thor haha
nah, that'd be messed up. though thor does "sort of" have a bit of tony in him personality wise at the start of the mcu thor movie and even about halfway through his banishment it's still kind of there.
You are so right.
we had facetime waaay before star trek predicted it so we are well on our way to a crazy future full of more than we have ever imagined :)
What about using ultrasonic sound transducers for hovering? I think that would be a much easier method to shrink down and make portable if/when they can make them more powerful. (Plus I also think they would have a much harder time working over water ;-) )
Ha. I did a project on this in 7th grade, and exactly for this reason. Made a small model and everything.
In school I wanted to design a hover board and I actually used the super conductor design it's cool too think that it would've worked and I got the idea from bio shock infinite
Damn, I love your videos. Please keep up with the good work. :)
wow thunderf00t was spot on, on how the first hover board worked.
Well I bet when they said in the movie we would have hover boards they didn't know we would actually, but the people that watched it must've been like HECK YEAH! LETS BUILD ME SOME HOVER BOARDS!!!!
Awesome! Just like all Kyle's videos hahaha
I would like to see a Gmod episode please.
I'm waiting for people to continue inventing stuff like that to become magneto
A could you check out that old Cartoon Shadow Raiders and explain how the Planet engines would work
so after hearing about that pipe thing i remembered i had a 14 in piece of 1/2 in diameter copper pipe and a couple of small but strong magnets. so yea I tried just what was in the video and ^_^ it worked. it made me almost sequel it was so awesome

I'm sad Kyle didn't mention electrohydrodynamic thrust
What would a hover board require to hover using air pressure?
Al we need is a way to create flux with other materials like cement/concrete. (Because that's only one thing to change, where as if you used the liquid nitrogen type of boards you would need to change a few things to make it equally as convenient)
concrete isnt a conductor...
+Gabe Merritt That's the hard part
True
All*
Hey Kyle if you do what kind of scientific degree do you have
It's not a co-incidence. We have hoverboards now BECAUSE of the movie. As with a lot of Sci-Fi, the movie didn't predict the future, it influenced it.
I called New Year's Day, back to the future is wrong day
You forgot the third method. In the movie Griff had one powered by rockets.
ah keep your super cooled hover things, I still waiting on a Bull Dog, why? because science? No, Because its got POW-AH!!
Floating already exists look at train from Geneve, it is Laplace force and by extending Lenz force. Three rules: sense, intensity direction.
I spoken.
What native language do you speak, because Google Translate has grammar issues with it.
Hey Mr. Sunday Movies, Hoverboards are here. BUTTHEAD!!
+Kyle Hill I'm sorry but didn't Douglas Adams already invent this along with flight? All you need to do is drop your board on the ground and miss, then simple step on. Away you go!
what about the use of forms of ultra sound which can now be used in "touchable" holograms to (i heard bout it in mind blow around episode 100)
Damn cool... 😂😂 the reason why i love science ❤❤
I love your laugh!
Its not a coincidence, people saw the movie, liked the hover board, wanted one, and worked tirelessly to figure out how to make it. Its more like causality.

Using carbon discs with neodymium magnets with alternating poles along it they have four discs to rotate clockwise and to rotate counter-clockwise this prevents the board from just spinning in a circle but this is absolutely the worst design that you could come up with for a hoverboard when you ride a skateboard and you want to ride a hoverboard when you lean left you want to turn left when you lean right you want to turn right. does this make sense? If you find time in your busy schedule to read this comment and I would happily share my design configuration with you just not on a public forum like this so an email or something I would happily explain the correct way that you would use this type of magnetic levitation for a hoverboard. It's funny I actually saw them attempting to hook electric motors to each set of there neodymium magnet discs to swivel it directions to steer it is so dumb I can't believe that such smart people that figured out this type of magnetic levitation can't figure out how to let you steer it
20 years later,people will look at hoverboards and say:Pfft, thats so retro
4:06 Well, it's quite likely not a coincidence, but rather a consequence of having a lot of engineers who grew up on this cult classic.
So were the hoverboards featured in the movie because they knew that 26 years later we would have that kind of technology, or do modern hoverboards exist because the movie featured them which inspired the imagination of people who grew up to create them.
The technology used in both of these so-called hover boards where well known before BttF was made. What allowed these units to gain notoriety is the internet.
I have this idea of a magnetic generator any possible way I could convince you to science the heck of it?
i've just noticed something: if Kyle dyed his hair a lil more blonde, shaved, put on make up, put his hair in a pony tail and put on some glasses, he'd look like Felicity Smoak from Arrow 😂 bet i ruined some fanboys nights with that!!! 😂
I noticed that too
Tom Quimby I'm fine with that, it works for me
you're*
+VivaLaGTA Having no clue who you were on about and thinking it just a little weird I googled....
HOLY SHIT!!! you're right, especially in the link in my following comment (just in case it gets flagged as spam, that's getting annoying).

The Hoverboards In The Film Cannot Hover Over Water.
I Have Always Assumed That The Sidewalks And Roads In The Film Were Lined With Magnet Materials.
Marry McFly later in the film uses hoverboard in 1955...do they have magnets there everywhere too?
Why Do People Capitalize The Beginning Of Every Word Sometimes? This Looks Like A Title, And I Wonder If It's Because English Isn't Your First Language.
+"Once There Was An Ugly Barnacle, He Was SO Ugly That Everyone Died, the end" -Patrick Pinhead Star I used to capitalize everything all the time, then I stopped because I started to annoy myself as much as it seems to annoy you.
+Greg Page Yeah, I wasn't being mean, I was just saying I think it's weird that people do that and it might be because they're not from a country that its official language is English.
Some people just press Shift with the start of every word, some leave Caps Lock on and some never use any kind of punctuation. It just depends on what feels natural to them. Regardless of how annoying it is to everyone else. It happens in any language whether it's their first, second or eleventh language.
can you do a video on quantum breaks time machine using a spinning black hole is that even possible to be able to recreate
Then you have Collin Furze's hover bike hahahahah!
really love your puns :)
4:05 IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE! This only happened BECAUSE people watched the film and wanted to make it real!
Could the technology from Yugioh (duel arena, duel disks) be possible? with or without the holograms.
So hendo has the magnet in the board and the conductorl in the floor and spins the magnets for flux.
The other one has the magnets in the floor and the conductor in the board and uses superconducting for flux.
which movie was that
