The countdown begins… on 5th August 2015, we will finally get to see the Lexus Hoverboard in action for the first time ever!

When the concept first appeared in the 1989 science-fiction adventure movie – Back To The Future Part II –the hoverboard captured the imagination of millions with its cool looks and awesome concept. We just never knew it will finally come true.

Really, how does it work?

From what we gathered, the Lexus Hoverboard uses high temperature superconductors in its onboard magnets to make it levitate– which kind of makes things hot. Really hot. That’s why, by the looks of it, the hoverboard uses liquid nitrogen to cool the magnets and that’s why it has a steamy mist around it.

We’ve waited 26 years for this to happen, then surely you can wait a few more days, right? In the meantime, check out the Lexus Hoverboard final teaser video below!
