Scientists at the Université Paris Diderot have created a hoverboard, that you can stand on and ride. I am so jealous. I want this for me. They need to make one that can go on water though, even if you don’t have power.

CERN has one of those too, only it's more like a scooter, with a thing sticking up you can hold on to. After seeing it demonstrated several times over the last few years, I finally got to have a go on it a week or so ago. It's fun. :) They mentioned that some astronauts have tried it (probably the ones who took the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer to the space station, since they came to CERN to see the AMS beforehand) and they said the frictionless feeling of this is as close as you can get to what it's like in space.
No No No No
I have designed a hover board that theoretically works using electric and magnets.
BY THE WAY I SAID THEORY (AND DESIGN)

Now they have to solve the problem of creating those super conductor magnets without the need for ultra low temperatures. And also the fact the hover board needs some kind of rails defeat it’s purpose, that is to be used on a regular asfalt or concrete street. I guess back to the future still too far.
I cant belive the FRENCH made this – im dissappointed in my fellow american
Except this isn't new technology or science.
Well if American's invented it, it would run on oil, meaning I'd have to pay to hoverboard anywhere, though I am sure the American version would exceed local speed limits and go anywhere…except over water. :P
@David> The French inventors created objects useful and positive in most cases.
As for the United States the world remember, in most cases, the nuclear bomb and the wishes expressed to the war …
I prefer to be French, we may be going for idiots but not for gangsters
Considering that it was American developed nuclear technology that powers over 75% of France, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_Fra… they might be a little more thankful. Not to mention the internet that you're posting on, or electricity, or lightbulbs that lead to your screen…and as far as the french not being gangsters, lets not forget napoleon, or the countless wars france has started. American may be gangsters, but the French were too. We just do it -better-.
And don't forget all that nuclear weapon testing made by France. They are third. (Americans, you have the privilege of being first…) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapons_test…
Hey, it costs too much if you need to use always liquid Nitrogen, but heck I would ride that :)
