DIY Hoverboard
Jason Bradbury, DIY tech guru from across the pond, has many projects under his belt. However, his latest DIY build is simply fantastic. He has been chronicling his progress as he attempts to build (the first?) rectangular hoverboard - in the true “Back to the Future” fashion. Any old sap can put together a roundish hovering device because physics likes it when pressure is equally distributed. Making a hoverboard with corners however, apparently takes some finesse. He is actually a little ways off from the final product but still has plenty of information to read about it.

and World’s First Hoverboard Accident
UPDATE: This is what I get for not checking Digg first. Here is a much more detailed explanation of his build.
I love the idea of your hoverboard. I and three other kids are going to make and demostrate your hoverboard to our 5th grade science class.
