Top 5 Facts about Hoverboards


stop look I need to worry you hoverboard
hoverboards we’ve always dreamed of
having them but it seems to have taken
the technology some time to get off the
ground hold on welcome to watchmojo.com
ting down the five most interesting
facts about hoverboards for this video
we’re including facts about both the
science fiction hoverboards and those
nifty self-balancing scooters that seem
hell-bent on killing us all yeah we know
they don’t actually hover and yeah we’re
pissed off that they’re nevertheless
called hoverboards – but what are you
gonna do number five
this priest hovered into trouble a
Catholic priest in the Philippines
decided to add a little flair to
Christmas Eve by performing his service
on a hoverboard scooter they say you’ll
never get bored with our board and this
audience certainly wasn’t but the other
church representatives had a much
different opinion much blush father
Albert San Jose found himself suspended
for his stunts on grounds that he was
quote capriciously introducing something
to get the attention of the people
unquote and was overall disrespectful
silly Padre people aren’t supposed to
enjoy being in church
number four these boards are getting
hover banned hoverboard owners may be
excited to hop on their new toy and show
the world but they might be hard pressed
to find somewhere to do so several major
cities in the US had begun banning the
use of hoverboards in public spaces
this means places like universities and
shopping malls are enou go even Wiz
Khalifa was restrained for riding one at
Los Angeles International Airport
the NYPD have pretty much declared war
on the things and laws in the UK have
outright banned hoverboards on roads
sidewalks and other public spaces as
they’re considered personal
transportation so if you want to get
some use out of your board you might
want to start by clearing up the
basement look at all this space
so do robots there’s so many activities
and maybe buying a fire extinguisher
because it’s all far number three they
seem to catch on fire
it’s no secret that hoverboards have
been responsible for a long series of
public injuries but it seems poor
piloting might not be the only hazards
these little death traps can offer
reports of faulty hoverboards bursting
into flames in people’s homes have begun
to surface according to the Consumer
Product Safety Commission there are
already at least 40 reports of
hoverboards igniting most often while
charging it said that these incidents
are likely caused by lithium ion
batteries overheating in some of the
cheaper hoverboard models as a result
amazon has pulled many of their products
off the website and offered a refund on
those already purchased ah have my top
cruise number two magnets could make
your dreams come true yeah rich magnets
oh alright time for the good stuff
hoverboards that can actually hover the
Japanese car company Lexus have created
a hoverboard that actually levitates the
board functions by harnessing the powers
of magnetic levitation meaning it’s
packed with magnets superconductors and
liquid nitrogen we have quantum locking
the the spoken actor is locked in space
and it stays wherever I put it the main
limitation here however is that these
boards can only be used on magnetic
tracks and so far can only reach about
an inch or two off the ground so don’t
expect to outrun any thugs
unfortunately Lexus has no plans to make
these a commercial product so you might
just have to stick
traditional skateboards for now
womp-womp number one fans of hovering
need fans to hover all hope is not yet
lost as the aerospace company ARCA space
has invented a board that just might
make life worth living
christened the ark aboard this
hoverboard is electrically powered by a
series of miniature fans able to carry
up to 240 pounds in weight sure fans may
not sound as cool as hover conversion or
even quantum locking but at least this
one can actually fly the ark aboard also
known by me as the wind Whizzer the blow
box and the fly pad has been tested to
reach up to 30 centimeters although with
the shelf price of almost $20,000 and
only enough battery power for six
minutes of flight this board may not
completely deliver on the promise of the
future but at least it’s a glide in the
right direction that is why we created
the arc report so that you could achieve
your dreams dreams you never thought
possible so are you staying optimistic
about the future of hoverboards or
should we just be satisfied with these
wannabe firetrap two-wheel boards of
sadness until next time for more
