Back to the future?

Admit it, we all geeked out a little bit with the glimpse of the future we got in ‘Back to the Future II.” I mean, who wouldn’t want their very own hoverboard? OK, maybe it was just me. But thanks to Lexus, we’re one step closer to trading our skateboard for something far cooler.

The auto-maker has developed a prototype hoverboard! Nobody has actually been seen riding it but the thing actually works. The Lexus hoverboard uses magnets cooled by liquid nitrogen to allow it to float above the ground. And now I want one.

Right after I get my flux capacitor.
