In addition to the Mach I automobile, the project also developed a similarly outfitted scooter, the Levascooter. [1] In experiments on a circular track, [4] vehicles would raise .125 inches (3.2 mm) off the ground and could jump 1 inch (25 mm) obstacles. [1] The Mach I was displayed for about two years in the late 1950s in Dearborn, Michigan. [4]

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]
