Is There a Hoverboard?

There is a Hoverboard, but it is not practical. Superconductors operating at room temperature were not produced. The hoverboard, which has been engraved in everyone's memory with the movie Back to the Future, has recently become the agenda again. Lexus' hoverboard "Slide" is powered by liquid nitrogen-cooled superconductors and permanent magnets. The container inside the skateboard contains liquid nitrogen, which is expensive to produce and requires special safety precautions during filling. Liquid nitrogen cools the magnets on the skateboard, which gives them superconductivity. However, liquid nitrogen evaporates within a maximum of 30 minutes and loses its effectiveness. So the hoverboard is not long lasting.
