Here's how I build a real floating hoverboard from back to the future. It works using ground effect to hover on a cushion of air right above the ground.

How do these guys do so much engineering.. but then never thought that water would just get blown apart?
Great video! Those self lacing shoes are genius!
same with the reversed jets :D
thought the same thing, pretty predictable ending! XD
I am no engineer and I knew it would fail.
I think at this point, deepdown he knew he had no allocated budget to use to revise the integrity to make it fully waterproof for this video in due time without intervening with other projects and other projects' budget to complete this video.
ergo maybe he knew and he still did it anyway to close the project.
Lol I was thinking the same thing.
every single one of these video makes me want to learn more about science. it really reminds me of how Vsauce can make science actually interesting and relevant while also being funny and inspiring.
I always liked science class
i like turtles
ikr
Ikr bro, this always makes learning stuff so cool and I understand the stuff, but school on the other hand…………… 😐
"Hey Vsauce Michael here!"
As a _Back to Future_ fan, I greatly appreciate someone stepping up to the promise scifi media made to fans so long ago! Thank you!
You know this is not knew, 9 years ago Tony Hawk rode one that is more like the one from back to the future, this one using air. Not bashing it, it is still a cool feature. Just not the first to step up to the plate for this.
@@bryanchaney2572
I'm aware of the concept that people everywhere have been obsessing over for years now. Of course, this isn't the first and only attempt at creating this technology, and certainly won't be the last. Your opinion is nothing "new" either.
I bet you cant summon a Yu-Gi-Oh card like they did on the tv show
one word zexel no need to talk you must know what I mean
Lol
Oh really?
ITS TIME TO D-D-D-D-D-DUEL
Breaking news! Monsters coming out of cards destroy city!
Thd be cool
@@ahmedrandomg7511My god, that could work…
SPOILER ALERT: I'm surprised that those guys are smart enough to build such a complicated project like this, yet they did not predict that it would obviously sink and be instantly flooded by water.
Anyway, congratulations on making it hover at least over land, that's an amazing feat.
They probably knew it would sink, but also knew it would make for a good video.
However, it also took them way too long to figure out they installed motors backwards... which I found pretty surprising. Most engineers would figure that out within an hour... if not less.
"Hey, McFLY, you BOJO!!! Those BOARDS don't work on *WAA-ter* !!!!!..." 😁 😝 😉
I was gonna say the same thing exactly, they had to want to destroy it because it was so obvious what was going to happen. ESPECIALLY with his method of entry 😭
Even if it did float over the water, it would be throwing up so much water from the fans the entire thing would get soaked anyway, which you'd think would be pretty obvious.
It didn't actually sink...
The power of the fans dug a hole in the water and as it did it would get lower...
It's not completely ruined the fans for a start should be ok.. electronics etc are salvageable.
I knew it wasn't going to work on water but a totally sick build, man! 🔥🔥
It was kinda unsatisfying that it ended like that, but yeah. I loved the build!!!
i believe if they would have put a bag on it and made it like a hover vehicle again, it would have worked
no way this team of engineers actually believed it would work
@@coachswag8956calm down bro, doubt you have ever built anything like this.
🤦🏼♂️
There are engineers and then there are dorkgeneers that forcus their big brains on bringing popculture to life without movie effects.
You do a great service sir!
This man not only builds a working hoverboard but he casually adds in self-lacing sneakers. Amazing work!
🤦🏼♂️
The sneakers itself would deserve a video
@@Networking-gy9mw agreed. No need to fill this video out with all his other accounts and platforms or products that he is selling.
@@JulianGijsen555🤡
Drones and self lacing sneakers always existed bro. This dude repurposes random things that already exist and says "I invented it". Modern day Thomas Edison.
Finally someone who doesn’t just use magnets over metal 😂, nice job man!
You mean hacksmith industry 😂
Because others are too focus on making it as close as the movies, instead of making the board hover.
Also the shoe works, its just simple, others puting machines on shoes, this one is just simple.
@@SpacePotato3077the technology too make it hover is too advanced you need a technology they can tap into the earths magnetic field
You mean the best way to make one😂😂 this guy is a grade A🤡🤡🤡🤡
Flying things before gta 6
I can't believe the amount of engineering over 2 years to accomplish this board, and they didn't account for the fact they are just going to displace the water with the fans and gravity was going to do the rest? x) Props to them regardless, looks like they had a ton of fun and met some pretty cool people along the way! :)
yeh I simply can not understand how someone who was able to describe how this works and what it is made out of would think it could work on water.
@@peteg4957deep overconfidence
Yeah. Stunning oversight.
If you add some sensors that measure the distance to the ground and use differential thrust to make it more stable, this could 100% work like in the movie and actually be pretty easy to control.
That wouldn't work the best with water or hills.
I mean, would the movie board or a regular board be good with hills and water? Speed crushes all of lifes problems, just put a booster on the back.
@@trashtrash2169 Most other boards work quite well with hills they were designed for. Concrete, snow, water, etc
@@unholyhardy4359 Going up or down? I think anything works going down a hill. Until you hit a rock.
@@trashtrash2169 sideways. most boards can maintain a diagonal angle with momentum for a few seconds. I doubt this could as is.
In the future, when we have actual hover boards, we’ll look back at videos like these the same way we look at those old videos of flying machines and just be amazed at how far we’ve come!
Hopefully after 2030 that these become a reality, but only time will tell. Hopefully I'll be able to see people hoverboad and fly cars before I pass on from this world (hopefully).
"actualy" hover boards is crazy ☠
Physics suggests hoverboards will never be a thing. And why would it? It's absurd when wheels do the same job for a lot less energy.
@@TeddyLeppard listen man, mixing acoustic and electromagnetic levitation isn’t all that hard, that’s why I’m gonna do it, and sure it might be less efficient then wheels, but it’s cooler, everyone wants to be cool and modern problems require modern solutions
@@SuperFlashDriver More like 2040-2050 tbh.
Im to late, but still wanted to say thank you for being these principles to millions of people. As engineer myself its always cool to see things like this and hope multiple people get inspired and push us to new innovation in the future. Together we can overcome current and future world issues.
What kind of engineer are you and are you the same as him
I just bought your web shooter for Christmas and I love it!
Thats dope! I gotta get one
The video and hoverboard were amazing! Honestly, you've done so much, it's hard to imagine something new. However, I've never seen any attempts to recreate the gauntlets of the Shocker. It would be fun to look at their works, if it's possible that is.
Make a magneto suit
Your dedication is inspiring.
first reply to a big CZcamsrs comment
@@Deoxyskian2 nd reply to a....
who... who are you precisely?
Yeah I have no idea who this is
Tad
"Hoverboards don't work on water" @JLaservideo
Ground effect does so your comment is a phallus
Omfg this video kept me on the edge of my toilet seat. I was 60% sure that it would go over water and 90% certain that it would also dip into the water and die. Awesome! I loved how you also just kinda made self lacing shoes along the way as a side project.
I can’t beileive that you are so dedicated and kind.
There's a reason it's called the "ground" effect and not the "anything else" effect. To work, it requires that the surface is not deformed by the air; this holds for solid surfaces like concrete, but not for water.
LOL I laughed wayyyy too hard at this
Calm down Mr know it all
Someone's mad they couldn't figure this out by themselves lmao.
What about the soviet ekranoplan, that used ground effect to work on water.
@@JohnSmith-ef8nr Gradual decreases in elevation are inevitable for ground effect vehicles (GEVs) traveling over fluids since the air pushes away the fluid directly below the vehicle. This explains the failure in the video, as the hoverboard is a pure GEV.
However, with additional lift--i.e., generated by airfoils--even the diminished ground effect over water could be sufficient to keep a GEV hovering, especially if it was constantly moving away from the water it already disturbed. This would require significant speed, but that makes sense for the ekranoplan.
TL;DR: Airfoils and speed.
As [I am] an engineer, [my opinion is that] you presented all of these super cool scientific principles in very accurate and digestible ways. I love how you walked us through all the levitation methods that don't work at scale, but still make use of interesting phenomena. Thanks for inspiring the next generation! [Edited for clarity]
"As an engineer" hahaha you killed me bro hahahaha
Yep, but missed the opportunity to cover buoyancy. Hoverboard was too small to get enough displacement without being totally underwater.
@ruzziasht349 oh I meant I am an engineer so I appreciate getting ppl excited about STEM
@@lukejohnston5566 I was laughing at you, as you're obviously not and engineer. Engineers don't use ppl. hahaha
Make Rc trains that hover.
Tbh I am more impressed on the use of nitinol for the self lacing shoes.
Most people went for the complicated route of motors and stuff while you solved the problem while displaying the core fundamentals of engineering: making it work as simply as possible.
This is an awesome video, your dedication and engineering prowess are inspiring.
If you made it like 10-20% more powerful so that it didn’t need to fully rely on the ground affect, you may be able to get it to work over water and move independently without too much extra power / danger.
A hover board that uses drone control to keep you at 3-5 feet and make steering easier would be a pretty viable product.
I like how you explained every possibility, even though some were ridiculous from the get go, but you explored each option and explained the science. Great video.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how the technology evolves over the next few years, and I'm hoping to see more of the hoverboard!
@@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 repent to me
The funny thing is, I thought it already existed for a long time now.
That plank with fans is actually super similar to something my neighbor made when we were kids. It was made with the exhaust from a vacuum though. Fun project for a couple of kids lol. Only limited by the length of the extension cord.
Wow! Such commitment (Or should you just be committed?😀. ) You actually made an exact replacement ("It doesn't work on water.") 😜I am astonished at your ability to solve one problem in such a myriad number of ways. I especially like the "floating in sound" demo, wonder if that would work supersized at a Taylor Swift - or Rolling Stones - concert.
YES FINALLY someone who used the use of air flow over magnetic force Ive been commenting that over every hover board video
the design was sick but i want to see what idea would you give for mininmizing the size
Remember, he had to cut the power to the motors to keep it from flying off. Seems to me like he had way too much engine on that thing, and if I'm right about that, then he's got all kinds of room to make it smaller. (which it needs to be smaller, badly)
@@MikeMartinez74 agreed,when u think about it he also didn't have proper leg design either, he could easily fall off that thing if he goes with a little more speed I suggest like a magnetic Leg holder with special boots so it could get attached and de-attached easily
When I was in Jr. High, my science teacher had a working hoverboard that he built, and would occasionally bring out into the hall to let his students try sitting on. It was done with air, but I don’t know exactly how it worked. I think I remember it being quite loud, but this was around 10 years ago, so my memory isn’t great. It always surprised me that nobody had tried this on a larger scale before, when we obviously had the technology and know-how to do it.
This video brought back that memory to me, and was super neat to watch. Thank you!
Last week, my uncle advised me to watch this series of films, so yesterday I watched all 3 films at once, I am absolutely delighted, this masterpiece is in my top!
(I am 16 years old)
WOW, congratulations and welcome Back to the 80's. I was 16 in 1985 and saw all three films as a teen in the theaters when we had no computers, cell phones, etc. Social media was going outside.
You watched all three at once? It's easier one at a time but whatever
Bro what literally crazy is i saw another hoverboard video and I was coming here to suggest this. I knew if anyone could do it then it would be you. Then I seen you legit did it already 😅👏👏👏 Bravo
I love the start of the video explaining all the different options considered and a little bit of the science behind each one. This is the essence of engineering!
The hoverboard and shoe laces are super sick that you made. When you asked for a suggestion of what to make next I was thinking about part of the video how you showed the way sound can make objects levitate. I have also heard of frequencies being able to move liquids and solids as well, that being said it would be super cool of you could somehow make a Harry Potter wand that could make objects move around or even come to you by using sounds and frequencies. Is this doable?!
Waterbending
well done and calculated. showing my kids that anything is possible. thanks for the vid
I am happy to find someone with a brain and imagination at the same time.
You've been probably the most accessible youtuber to help get my kids excited about engineering. Easy to follow. Always cool. Appreciate what you do mate.
Not even gonna lie, never heard of this channel and didn't cone in expecting much.
I. Was. Wrong...
Im blown away by the amount of work you put into your projects and videos. Incredible job, definitely subscribed from now on!
Blown away literally because of this video?
Jk
Interesting choice of words.."blown away" lol
To jlaser
You are so good at what you do i would never be able to do this you basically risk your life to satisfy us with your genuine smarts and wonderful inventions thx for all you do man
Suface tension young man . Physics is awesome . Nicely done.
i like the logic of hovering around with a air compressor would be weird so we strapped 27 high powered EDFs instead xD a great build as always, love the buildup of testing various ways to achieve the goal and showing us that process instead of just brushing it off and saying other ways failed. Much love
If you use the downward air from the outer fans to trap a high pressure under the middle of the board, you can use less fans, less batteries and electronics, and seal holes, making it lighter and more effective.
For water you will need to interact with a larger ground effect region so your bouyant force doesn't go so low into the water and splash up, meaning you need to make the board wider and keep the fans away from the surface and splash, or keep the size and place the fans higher, interacting with more air and trapping more volumes of high pressure or velocity air. This is why hovercraft use skirts, because you can pneumatically fill the area with far less energy than continuously jetting yourself off of atmospheric mass and ground backpressure.
These concepts are also extremely useful for the coming generational leap in aerodynamic understanding and transportation, if anyone understood or listened to researchers!
smarty pants :D
lol @@_dh
Nerd
Yes, I was gonna say the same thing
I’d love to see you make camouflage armour like the predator has when it uses bending light / reflection to hide in its environment. That would be cool!
Great work keep up the amazing content! Thank you 🙏
You always pull off miracles, man. Love this stuff!
As a skater who always dreamt of making something like this but couldn't figure out how to make it work without a magnetic field or an engine so big that would be completely different from what I envision, I would buy this. I want to buy this. Take my money.
Being female you would only suck at riding it anyway.
Yes
You'd pay over 40 kUSD for a hovering board that doesn't even work as a method of transportation?
@@MsHojatPretty sure it works as a method of transportation...just probably not a very good one.
But hey, if you have 40k laying around.
Dude, what an incredible video man. So insane to see how you're able to document multiple processes over months and years and keep things moving forwards and then still tell banger stories about them! Truly a pleasure witnessing and watching this journey!
oh hi
i feel like ive heard of you before
I always click on these videos never expecting the final product to be anything like advertised in the thumbnail, and yet the man never ceases to prove me wrong.
The shape makes it awkward, I also think you could've used less EDF to make it less clunky.
I suppose after the fine tuning above, making it fly forward without a tether as help would be amazing. Y'all are the engineers I'll let you figure it out.
Respect from Canada 🤙
CZcams needs a double-like button. Awesome project. ❤
Visions lazer would be cool
It’s called the super thanks
I used to search it up in 2016 when people made a miniature sized actual floating hoverboard from Back To The Future. This is definitely great to watch.
Pages like this keep me excited about the future
This video is so awesome I see people building stuff for no reason no purpose tons of money wasted BUT THIS VIDEO WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY EVEN IF IT GOT RUINED LOOK AT WHAT YOU CONQUERED AND MADE SCREEN SHOTS OF THE ACTUAL MOVIE I KNOW MARTY MCFLY WOULD LOVE THIS I BELIEVE THIS IS THE BEST DIY VIDEO I HAVE EVER WATCHED CONGRATS BRO IT MAY NOT MEAN MUCH TO ALOT OF PEOPLE BUT THIS MADE MY DAY
That is amazing! I would recommend adding some sensors to it to auto balance to stay level and add a few more thrusters on the rear to propel it forward.
The way you made the self lacing shoes are genius. When I saw the hacksmith make a pair of self lacing shoes they used motors. This was such an amazing idea of self lacing shoes.
I think the most impressive thing is how you made a solution to the self tightening shoes with a simple technology
That dang thing works better than I thought it would , good job 👍 please don't hover board in traffic while testing it , be safe so you can make ver 2
Never seen someone actually do a back 2 the future hoverboard so well, I honestly thought you would have tried to put something to stop the water from coming in and not just go for it but you're right you did nail it just like the move. I'd also really love those shoes lol.
Definitley one of the better hover boards I’ve seen online. Nice work for sure
Another great vid, mate, blowing my mind as always! I would love to see you try some sort of Thanos glove that can make objects disappear.
I’m so hyped for the spring ring
I'd love more engineering collabs! You're amazing! well done!
The super conductor part is very interesting- I never knew it stayed in the magnetic line of field. Love your videos!
Amazing video man.. Crazy engineering work
I believe the final test over water 'may' have been achieved if the curtains were applied; similar to the hovercraft method. Congrats on the ground-effect hoverboard 10/10. 🏆
seeing a hologram like the ones from star wars would be really cool, don't know if that's possible but if it is that would be an amazing build
Im really happy you made this. It was actually Back To The Future that inspired me to be a Film major, and seeing it come to life is making my inner child happy, so thank you on behalf of the 12 year old version of myself. As for a new project, you should make a whip that magically wraps around objects like in the movies, being able to grab or wrap something from a distance. ❤
Dude, you have to be the best engineer I have ever seen. Dude, may self lace shoes like it was notting.
Great work I seen many projects of hoverboar you are the closest am awesome
I'm really not scientifically inclined but I always enjoy watching your process and appreciate some of the layman's terms you use to explain them 👍
It’s so cool to see now you can do this, just imagine what can be done in 10 years 😮
That's really cool and kind of genius. I really like the idea and the charisma that you put into this. I'd love to have one for my little boy, but I understand that I'm probably a bit late on the free give away. I'd like to see you make a vehicle, (of any kind) hover that way
J laser and the hacksmith together = future force industries.
A good rule of thumb. If its going on or near water. Just make it water proof.
Dont even bother not considering it. Just do it. Also. Drainage. Water will get in, so give it a way to get out. Think about your directions of momentum and place your holes accordingly.
Great work as always. I've always wanted to put a remote in a deluminator prop to turn off/on my household lights.
And I’m impressed of what ur doing with ur channel!!
Excellent
You can have a rail and by EMF the train or just carriage will move forward slightly off the rail a couple of inches very very fast.
When I was about 11 I absolutely loved back to the future and magnets, so with my love for back to the future and my knowledge on magnets I wanted to try do the same thing as the toy hoverboard but couldn’t afford the magnets, it’s nice to see it come to life.
Would love to see more movie objects outside of marvel and dc
So cool. Emulating the movie brought back so many memories of my teens. Thanks.
Great video. I was wondering if the hover board would work with an air curtain around the outer jets to keep the air under the board instead of blowing out around the sides. Or angling the outer jets inward instead of all being flat.
Anyways Glad I found your channel. Looking forward to seeing the others videos.
Great Scott JLaser! You Made My Dream Come True!
I know super conductors won't work for this project, but for future reference if you need a bunch maybe consider teaming up with NileRed, he made himself a bunch in the past. Also I'm an electrical engineer myself; you said your scared of those fans getting stuck on at full load, but have you considered using a short circuit safety relay or something along those lines to current limit the supply? I can think of a few things you can do to prevent such a thing from happening. So obviously your using DC so you're not using a VFD (variable frequency drive) to control the speed of the motors, but you have to he using some kind of drive that's using resistance or something that's controling the speed of the motors and usually there you configure a safety limit too. It's alot easier to do it with a VFD on AC motors using hz, just because limiting the frequency that the VFD outputs limits the voltage too because they go hand in hand, for instance if you do 30hz instead of America's standard 60hz that's half the cycles so it would be half the voltage, so being that you get alot more control over AC versus DC a inverter might not be bad idea for another project. Current limits, hertz, list goes on and on what you can do with a VFD, I even have limited AC motors to certain amount of RPM's.
Wow!! Even though the board didn't go over water just seeing the effort is the most inspiring thing to see..who cares about the outcome it's the Intent that matters.
I got the web shooter! Kinda cheap and plasticity but really fun to play with when I have my suit on
Love the "We nailed it" at the end there 😂
Hope you can salvage some parts for another project 😉👍
Could you try making a paraglider that can be deployed like a normal parachute and also automatically refold itself after you've landed so that it's immediately ready for use again? It would function like pretty much every glider found in video games.
15:59 I think it's hilarious that it's still a burger king 40 years later
Edit: That's a beautiful lake
Bro has married nitinol at this point 😂😂😂
Good work on making the hoverboard
Your videos keep amazing me!
Maybe for the next video you could make the fully interact screen in the window like in Iron Man 1 in Tony Starks bedroom.
I always found the usage of handsgestures, no matter where in the house amazing.
There's a way of using wireless routers to take 'images' of your form to actuate by gesture from other rooms, that was developed nearly 20 years ago, and quickly disappeared.
I'd love to see you build a bicycle with such wide tires ...that even with just two tires, you could use it amphibiously! (on water as where the as well as regular ground).
There are other people on CZcams who have created bicycles with large tires that work on water but they are always with three or four tires. I'm talking about extremely wide probably somewhat flat tire things... that would keep the bicycle upright even on water (with only two rotating rings). It would look ridiculous but… but that's the point :-) I suppose you might even have a world record on your hands.
Barrel tires
@@jakeq3530 Essentially, perfect; yes!
These videos have been the reason im into science.
That's really impressive you have to rebuild it and make it smaller and better like a hoverboard
Great video, always surprised to see how you manage to create. We’ve been loving playing with the spidey webs!
10:00 the air pressure in this scene was just fabulous 😍 it was like straight out of movie like a effect
Witch movie is that bro
@@loveyoumyg6981 iron man and many more
This is my favorite science channel on CZcams. This guy makes stuff as accurately as possible without shortcuts
Crazy how your a one man show and hack smith has a huge team and you still manage to one up them every time
I would love to see you try and replicate Doctor Strange's crystal shields! I think GameTheory mentioned how they are based on real science (very loosely based) but maybe using ice or illusions you could pull it off!
Those self lacing shoes though... I mean damn why hasn't anybody thought of that, absolutely brilliant. I definitely need me a pair of those!
You should check out the way a bumblebee flies as discovered by that Russian scientist. The wings create a resonance which in combination with structures on its body create some sort of resonance field that creates lift.
This video is epic. Never have I’ve seen anyone created a DIY hover board.
