We have been working in our "Hoverboard" project on the construction of a device that can levitate through magnetic repulsion.

Performed completely on our own and without external instruction, we built a functioning, stable, load-bearing and steerable hoverboard. It uses a self-developed optimized magnet arrangement which generates an exceptionally strong magnetic field facing one direction without causing internal resistance. 

Our hoverboard uses four rotating discs fitted with strong permanent magnets. It induces an opposing magnetic field in a diamagnetic metallic plate located beneath it, which is used for the levitation as well as for the propulsion and steerability. All the important elements of the hoverboard were tested individually and then implemented successfully to the final hoverboard, supported by very detailed theoretical evaluations and simulations.

This is an innovative research topic that has only been target of interest for a few years. We see commercial usability of the hoverboard principle e.g. in friction-free transport processes.
