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]
