Back to the Future on a hoverboard

Use this in case you ever need to rescue Clara from falling off a train. Wait! — Those were instructions for Marty McFly. But, now even you can float around wherever you fancy when you get yours.

Hendo Hover, a group out of Silicon Valley, is now taking Kickstarter pre-orders on their latest invention — a hoverboard. That's right, the hoverboard is finally happening.

Now in order to actually channel Back to the Future, you'll have to wait until 2015, but once these skateboard-like devices are in production, you'll be poised for all of your flying pursuits (provided they take place an inch off the ground).

Four 'engines' create a magnetic field that gives the board an inch of lift while the board stays over a metal surface. Steer with your natural movements and see where your levitating will lead.

Want one? $10,000 (Rs 6.18 lakh) is the rumoured price to get your suspension started.
