So...prediction that the Hendo Hoverboards were full of shit? Confirmed. https://youtube/watch?v=MMZ2cyNxPwg According to thunderf00ts research, the battery only lasts a couple minutes, the board weighs 90 LBS and takes 2 people to even lift it, and the power to weight conversion is 40 watts per kilogram. That means a 150LB person on a 90LB board will draw 4.400 W to lift. A typical american home uses about 11kWh [1] anually, which is about 1,250 W. That means the hoverboard uses almost as much power to lift itself plus a 150lb person as 4 typical american homes use for *all* their power needs. And my fat ass would take 8 homes worth of power, a literal street block. PLUS it only works on highly-conductive but non-ferromagnetic surfaces - i.e. copper or aluminum only. BUSTED. Seriously. Dont give this dishonest asswipes any more money. Please. [1] eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.cfm?id=97&t=3
