[6] [10] The majority of that project's financing originated from BHC itself, which would ultimately spend around £1 million of its own funds on the new hovercraft by the end of development. [10] Accordingly, during the late 1970s, development work at BHC commenced on the new hovercraft, led by Ray Wheeler.
The main focus of the demonstration is the levitation of the hoverboard, which was achieved through the use of superconductors inside the board and a magnetic track. The board itself was made of bamboo and carbon fibre support structures. [9] The board had 32 yttrium barium copper oxide superconductors cooled by liquid nitrogen. [10]
A hoverboard (or hover board) is a fictional levitating board used for personal transportation, first described in science-fiction, and made famous by the appearance of a skateboard-like hoverboard in the film Back to the Future Part II. Many attempts have been made to invent a functioning hoverboard.
