Magnets are a great thing.

Would make a cool display piece.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, but I thought in one of the behind the scenes for part 2, didn't that board really hover?

It was all a publicity stunt.

Whoa, that's pretty awesome! Anyone think it would be possible to make a thing like that in 1/6th scale?

Absolutely badass!!

Snore. Let me know when he can ride on this thing down the street doing 50 mph.

I am going to play around with my magnets and see what I can come up with.

Yep. They've had something like this at the Franklin Institute since I dunno, 1990 or so for kids to play with.

To be fair...there have been desk items like pen holders that I saw back in the late 70's or early 80's accomplishing the same basic effect.

What I find to be cool is the though of being able to use it as a display for 1:6 scale action figurs. If I could hook up a setup like this to my Speeder Bike and then Put a Scout on it...that would be truly badass. But you can tell by how careful he had to be setting it in place that it will not be easy.

Plus that thing is styrofoam. Maybe weighs a pound with the magnets.

Its funny how these little things amuse people.

A speederbike would be insane! Or maybe Marty but who really collects BTTF?

I would be afraid if someone bumped it the reverse magnetism would send it flying somewhere, or flip it upside down abruptly smashing the paint or collectible on top.

Not impressed. It's 2010, we should have one already.

We still got time! 5 more years until 2015.

The way technology is accelerating, it may just happen.
