Its a real-life, working hoverboard.

The Hendo Hoverboard currently floats about one inch off the ground, is weight-activated, and completely self-propelled.

Tell me that isnt the awesomest thing youve heard all day.

So…how exactly does the Hendo Hoverboard work?

The short answer is magnets or rather, a magnetic field created by magnets within the board.

For the time being, that means that the hoverboards are limited to special hover parks.

Hendo has also developed a concurrent whitebox gadget that users can play around with.

you might also take it apart and fiddle with it, installing it into a bunch of different stuff.

See, Hendos interested in creating a whole development ecosystem centered around its new tech.

Thats pretty cool in and of itself, but its only the tip of the iceberg.

Ultimately, theyve got some pretty huge plans beyond creating cool toys and sci-fi skateboards.

Its been quite some time since I felt this excited about a Kickstarter project.
