Screen Accurate "Hero Hoverboard" - Finished Display

[Clock88]

Hi Guys... thought I would share some final pictures of the display as my plaque just came in today. This is version 1 of the hero and I will be making a final version next with some material tweaks (with BTTF123 doing most of the real work again :love ) . I will be adding a new honeycomb lenticular that looks sharper and more pink. I will also be adding some super accurate magnets that are currently being made in CAD; they will be CNC machined.

I added a brushed aluminum to the bottom of the magnets which looks really cool in person. You can see the streaks in the picture which resemble the opening shot of the film.

Probably the best replica I've seen, the display just takes it over the top. Awesome work brother.

How would I get in contact with any of the electrical enigneers that are a member here and would be interested in helping to build a working hoverboard.

Good luck with the build

You have until October 21, 2015 to get it into production...

But I can't do it alone which is why I made the initial post given this forum is full people with electronic skills. I am just looking for the best way to contact those people that have the skill and would be interested in building a hoverboard this isn't a joke post.

a "working" hoverboard I would define as either repelling against the earth without a magnetic base to repel from, so nothing like this: Crealev Levitation Rail with Hoverboard or I would define it as pushing against the earth using air pressure as hovercrafts do, one example is using air bearings. I realise the ground clearance is minuscule but it's a start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bquSHvP5Gwc
