the Hendo hoverboard is a proof of concept it's a way we're introducing this technology to the world in a way everyone can understand it's a hoverboard and by now hopefully that's caught people's attention because what we really want to do with this technology well frankly it's a lot more important the hoverboard is fun and it's cool and yes it does work and I look forward to seeing you ride here in a bit but our Kickstarter campaign has a different purpose besides just making a production hoverboard what we're really trying to do is get this new technology in the hands of inventors everywhere we want to capture the power of the many minds in the crowd to come up with solutions to ideas we don't even know about and the way we're doing that is with our white box developer kit you can back us for 300 bucks and get a white box and you can open this thing up you can take out the hover engine and hover whatever you like it's an opportunity to explore and I that is the thing we want people to do explore dare to wonder the hover engine works with something called Lenz's law and you can google that I had to it is a way of using a magnetic field to create a secondary magnetic field in a conductive surface like this copper floor if you can hover a fifty thousand kilogram train why not a bill why not a house why not an operating room why not a sensitive piece of equipment or a precious piece of art anywhere there's a wheel there's an opportunity the wheel is amazing and it has our most respect but we want to provide some alternatives in certain situations where you know there might be a better way I'm an architect not a scientist and the way we were able to do this was by looking at this problem a little bit differently what we like to say around Hendo is that we we try to think outside the box and then off the page because it's that kind of thinking that we need to solve real problems today and by sharing this technology with well that we're calling all inventors by sharing this technology we're going to put the solution to problems again into the hands of folks who are working on things that we have no idea about that's it nothing is awesome
