fucking hax

[spike10h]

There's only 3 years left hurry up! I need to be able to buy one of these in 2015!

[0ChewToy0]

Hi reddit!

[gpc510]

now all we need to do is replace sidewalks with magnets.

[Sebastiancounts]

quantum levitation does not seem like the most efficient way to create a hover board

[zackerolo2]

i wish hover boards were real the ones that go fast and can fly are the ones i would get

[kknay]

Dear Santa....

[CambioJoe]

MIND OFFICIALLY BLOWN.

[PaddyHawthorne]

Not impressed unless it hovers on its own without the aid of rails.

[SpeckyNation]

Lolz at girl in high heels who almost falls while helping the person on the mag board stay safe XD

[xXxeroOo]

Remember the movie BACK TO THE FUTURE? Yes that floating skateboards! Well...this is it in the making ^_^

[Kazoku002]

Give me this and some self-lacing Nikes and I'll be set for life.

[geminikutie6141987]

I want one.....

[MutineerProductions]

This is what geeks do when they're bored. And people used to use that word negatively! Hee hee hee...

[blowy05]

Vous vous amusez bien à Paris 7 !!

[blurr82]

That is so not fair. I want a ride!

[TheUkearchy]

They just keep finding new ways on youtube to make women even more attractive. First sign language pop songs now freaking hoverboards. I love the future.

[jcmik]

the future is... HERE!

[LeonidBuchkovskyi]

Back to future

[faloverdade]

nice ass

[pll1993]

now do a kickflip

[TubeSurfingTroll]

Shit the bead on that one

[daspense]

so what... a supercooled magnet?

i thought of that when i was 7 mate

[AnotherNutJob]

If you guys were to see the classified technology in the military black projects, it would blow your minds.

[fieryelf]

Why is there no Back to the Future Music here -_-

[koberko]

nice look inside shirt at: 0:10 ;)

[SusquCyclist]

Now hopefully the Libyans won't try disrupting the rest of our experiments.

[dagooch11201]

its the hover board from back to the future.

[ittelgimaf]

Impressive...now you have just over 3 years to perfect this into a sell-able product...ready...set...GO!

[America2470]

SCIENCE! 

[dking987returns]

steampunk hoverboard

[RSHalford]

I saw this done on a cbbc programme...

[theend1245]

only works if you have a MAgnetic Rail & Extremely COld Couductor, So we're very far from Real Hover Technology

[CoolBeanzChris]

@theend1245 Don't worry. We've got 4 years to fix that.

[rafaelcmp]

Everyone knows, Hoverboards don't work on water.

[SammEater]

Now I just have to wait 4 years. :D

[MrIonization]

this is more impressive than the tiny superconducting materials i've played with. ours didn't come with ships to play with

[lipelipelipefelipe]

"Back to the Future" hahaha

[Pehobbes]

Keep working, you've got 4 more years left.

[thesickleone]

Your are way behind the schedule: that's supposed to be sold to little girls in 2015.

[drofferni]

Daqui 50 anos nós vamos olhar isto e achar tão pré-histórico.

hehehehe

[jellington90]

Soon the roads will be made of superconducting pavement and we will have hover cars, boards, and shoes

[loldowl]

Women...always showing to the world what smart men develop. That's why I love Apple, the man who does is the man who show (or used to).

[3Desmadrozos]

0:11 I can see some tits :D

[Techstorm2065]

it looks pretty fun if you're a girl that doesnt know how to ride a board and stands straight forward with absolutley no implementation of balance in anyway. in that case im sure its a complete blast to ride!

[AyoBingo]

Doc Brown would be proud

[1StarRed]

Damn it France. Your making it hard for me to hate you.

[EpicNade]

well back to the future, you were only slightly off.

[ihurtmyarm]

when hoverboards eventually do come out, we will all be so old we will look at them like old people look at skateboards.

[soldiers3v3n]

And in more interesting events Phil subscribers battle for the top comment!

[MrZeroCide]

@SuperOb12345 That has got to be one of the stupidest fucking things i have read all day.

[legion333666333]

Cool bientôt nos enfant pourront acheter des hoverboard !

[MrIrmn]

This is old  just super cold magnets do something that i didnt see on discovery channel 10 years ago

[Georgelangham]

@MrIrmn

It's a superconductor reacting to a magnet.

[HordrissTheConfuser]

Thumbs up if you hummed the theme from Back to the Future!

[tdg4evar35]

@HordrissTheConfuser i was picturing marty on it too :)

[dreadedasasin]

ALL DAT ASS GURL!!

[SKillitFish]

@dreadedasasin DUDE HOLY FUCK I WAS LITERALLY ABOUT TO COMMENT THAT HAHAHAH :D

[dreadedasasin]

@SKillitFish LOL!!

[TheColtsrock11]

What? The French did something for once?

[OlisedMcFLy]

Thanks!!! Back To The Future!!! lol

[llamaking100]

The dry ice cools down the superconductors they must be using. Which makes the metal strip beneath it (which is made of superconductive material) highly repulsive to the metal hoverboard. At least that's my guess any science profs got any other ideas?

[dashthehero192]

wait wait wait.... there using dry ice, i thought hoverboards dont work on water! what sorcery is this!

[acangelcruz]

@dashthehero192

Dry ice isn't water bro!

[dashthehero192]

@acangelcruz haha yeah that information was passed onto me when i relayed that comment to a smart mate of mine, still i thought the comment was funny.

[aveslp]

Fuckin magnets...

[EBBsk8Norge]

Start installing these metal railroad tracks all over Paris!

[yodaoncrak]

It's funny how everyone thinks that this is such a big break through, when in reality, the french just took quantum levitation that was already invented and said, "lets shape the thing that levitates like a board, make it travel along a straight path which is the only place it levitates, and call it a hoverboard. now everyone will forget about the whole us not showering thing until they realize that we stole this, but by that time we would have stolen something else." this is no breakthrough

[arkhamisland]

Does she start singing the Back to the Future theme song near the end?

[odawgy01]

Ah quantum levitation... you're so cool.

[mpotapoff]

The magnet of Arkadev

In 1944 it was publicly the all-new phenomenon of balance of magnetic forces and forces of universal gravitation, using which it in 1945, using the phenomenon of superconductivity, has forced

The small constant magnet to hang without a pillar or подвеса above a superconducting lead disk (popularity entitled « coffin Magomet »)

[dracosman2000]

dear santa....

[zero00tolerance]

the one in the movie its 100X kooler than this .....

[yaglourt]

@zero00tolerance yep but it doesnt exist :p

[Double00Dusty]

I would have immedately took  it off the track and seen waht it could actuially do

[ezzychill]

pas mal la locomotive flottante



[DarKnightofCydonia]

My jaw dropped through the floor, and I don't know how to get it back up

[UberNoodleX]

Hover board! Too bad it need to be frozen solid in order to work.

Still, this quantum trapping is awesome. But what about the regular magnetic levitation being used for the Japan Rail Maglev train. 581 km/h!

[thejerrymobile]

I think I need to understand this more clearly. The superconductor is fixed within the magnetic field, but it can be removed easily with slight force in certain directions, but it can also remain suspended at a given distance while bearing weight.

My brain hurts.

[MrCyberShotz]

@thejerrymobile The magnetic field around the object is warped so that it traps it in a fixed position. However, it can still be manipulated but also stay in a fixed position. That's that most I understand.

[thejerrymobile]

@MrCyberShotz It's crazy stuff, that's for sure.

[Trippy20100]

The way this thing looks I think we should of been at this point years ago. Just saying

[kller04]

Great Scott Marty!

[Brockitis111]

my physics teacher tried to tell me this wasn't possible. well who get detention now mother foop!!! :( its still me.

[emw1010]

Dear Santa,

[0liverGuy12]

the official version better come out in 2015

[SuperDookieness6000]

Sacrebleu! But will it work on water or do I need to have power?

[griffincorbin]

@SuperDookieness6000

there needs to be magnets underneath. sorry.

[SuperDookieness6000]

@griffincorbin you appear not to get the joke I tried to do.

[FireStormBravo]

Très bien. J'aime l'expriment.

[souske25]

HOVERBOARDS DONT WORK ON WATER! UNLESS YOU HAVE POOOOOWAAAA

[supertramp93586]

0:27 nice ass ;)

[DigitizedSelf]

Great - now we just need to fill up the pavements with neodymium magnets, keep large quantities of liquid nitrogen around and shield our electronic devices and we're set for the future!

[TheKlobeUpdate]

A) Hovering trains aren't the same as this phenomena. Those use the repulsive nature of opposite poles to create the "hovering" effect. B) Whoever decided to call this quantum "levitation" wasn't thinking; this is called, as they say in other videos, quantum trapping. The superconductor isn't levitating, it's merely trapped by the magnetic forces being forced around the object instead of acting directly on it. That's why it can hang upside down. This is RIDICULOUSLY bad ass :)

[Xirozorix]

This wont really work, unless liquid nitrogen suddenly gets a lot cheaper and less dangerous...

[DeadpoolAndFriends]

I love how many of the "StuffPhilLikes" SUbscribers also follow Vsauce.

[rearnessfactorof11]

this is just a super cooled super conducter, its nothing new, weve had this technology for YEARS

[bylertoe1]

yes!! ameri... wait?

[2ez3ar]

VSAUCERS KNOW THIS SHIT!

[Mhax94]

people who does "women in kitchen" jokes, are probably single xD

[budulududu1]

quantam levitaion is awesome, now we just need to make this work at room temprature :D

[alfred87cron]

dont see the big deal. in japan the have hovering trains, now thats something

[MeOnStuff]

Dear world,

Here is your hoverboard.

Sincerely, physics.

[MrThePlug]

whats the big deal , they used magnets.

evrybody knows that you can use magnets that way

[HokageNarutoman]

0:27 Dat ass.

[LlGHTBODY]

it's amazing and all, but the purpose?

[KingJulien234]

I want to go to college on a hoverboard, I'm sick of having to walk those 20 minutes. HURRY UP

[tboytraverseV3]

haha 40 years from now when they make a legit hover board, they're going to look back on this thing and think of it as a dumb children's toy

[DavieJones2nd]

@tboytraverseV3 gotta start somewhere :) Look at computers, the 1st one built in 1947 was the size of a house! now look at them!

[Georgelangham]

@DavieJones2nd

You have a point, though it is definetly rather feeble now.

If the tech gets developed further it could be awesome.

The fact that it always needs to be cold will be a major problem.

[Georgelangham]

@tboytraverseV3 already is a silly childrens toy, it's weak as hell.

[ytube5032]

@tboytraverseV3 Yea, i pads will become paper weights and kids will make hovercraft for science fair.LMAO!

[ceaos]

GREAT SCOTT!!!

[supercell42]

reinventing the wheel?

[HarleyKock]

needs to be higher off the ground.....

[MoJo7500]

GREAT SCOTT!!

[SidCurry]

so .... magnets are impressive huh.......

[Jujii8]

Let's make this a reality by 2015! Marty McFly would be proud.

[raivisz93]

Kevin is impressive when it comes to accents.

[naryanr]

Bullet trains have been doing this for years. Carrying thousands of people at hundreds of KPH suspended in mid air. I don't get why this is any different, especially since it's still on a track.

Now if they were to make a large single flat plane of this stuff. Like an ice rink that you could jump on with that board. That, that would be cool in more ways than one.

[100825]

@naryanr There is a difference in techniques though. Magnetic Levitation Trains have magnets that need to go around the tracks, quantum levitation does not need this and the object itself can be locked into any position as seen in this video: /watch?v=Ws6AAhTw7RA.

[naryanr]

@100825 Yeah I saw it already. I'm a Philly d subscriber as well. Of course there is no difference in technique. How else do you think the object stays locked in place if it isn't a magnet? You can't do this without a magnetic field. The stronger the magnet the further from the base you can achieve the locking effect with the superconductor.

[100825]

@naryanr Sure, they still use a magnetic field. However, regular magnetic trains use repulsion to make the train float, this technique channels the magnetic flux through the object. These are two entirely different concepts.

[naryanr]

Yeah, but a second ago you said they need magnets to go around tracks and that quantum doesn't need magnets. That's just totally wrong. That's what I'm talking about. I don't know why you're talking about magnetic flux.

[100825]

@naryanr I never said Quantum levitation doesn't need magnets. What I said was that regular Magnetic Levitation trains need to be kept stable, this can be done by making edges around the tracks OR by magnets going around the track (Just like wheels on a rollercoaster, they are attached to both sides of the rails to prevent the cart from flying off). Quantum Levitation is stable on itself and doesn't need these adjustments, because of the flux tubes in the superconductor (look it up).

[naryanr]

@100825 There's so many reasons why people should not find this amazing in a practical sense (apart from being more than a few decades old). You mentioned stability. They would spend just as much money making this stable as they would making regular bullet trains stable. All it would take would be a drop in temperature of just a few degrees and it would lose it's super conductive properties and become a safety nightmare. Getting those properties in the first place would cost a fortune.

[100825]

@naryanr Sure it's impractical, for now. But this is just the beginning, who knows what will happen next.

I am not saying people should get really excited, but this is how new technology starts out.

As an engineer I thrive on new inventions and practical implementations, one of today's inventions can become of importance tomorrow. And if it is of importance, it is well worth investing in.

[naryanr]

@100825 See my first point. It's nearly 50 years old, and I see no reason why super-cooling things should become any cheaper in the near future. They tried it, they could see no way of using it, so they came up with a much more complex, much cheaper, much more reliable way of doing it.  I see no reason why they should go backwards.

[dumle29]

@naryanr because those trains doesnt do what this does. Those use extremely expensive computer controlled tracks, to control the magnetic field to form a wave the the trains ride.

This however works via quantum locking, where a superconductor is made by cooling it with liquid nitrogen.

this doesnt need super expensive rails (but super expensive superconductors and liquid nitrogen)

[naryanr]

@dumle29 Yeah but there's nothing new here. What he was trying to say was that this type doesn't require magnets at all, which means he doesn't understand how this works on a basic level. People knew how to use liquid nitrogen before they knew how to manipulate electromagnetic fields with thousands of lines of code, before computers were even mainstream. Super-cooled tracks would be stupidly astronomically expensive. My point is that people should be more amazed by bullet trains than by this.

[dumle29]

@naryanr who tried to say that it didnt use magnets?

and yeah, the supercooled superconductors in the train would be expensive as hell. however, lets hope science finds room temperature superconductors

[naryanr]

@naryanr Just scan a bit. "magnetic levitation trains have magnets that need to go around tracks, quantum levitation does not need this". That's wrong on more than one level.

[Brecky112]

who let that woman out of the kitchen, she better had already brought the sandwitches

[Sweeney1988]

back to the future was RIGHT!

[sirsoccer10]

c'etait un peu drôle, mais l'idee pourrait etre extraordinaire

[Clapsterrr]

As long ass this shit ain't got a weight limit....I"M IN! :D

[XxGamer]

For some reason I thought it'd look more cool

[GibsonRock4All]

dude

pop an ollie

[dalsio]

On small scales, it probably wouldn't be practical due to the need for railing, but on large scales, if one could set these tracks in place of railroad or monorail tracks, and make the superconductor self-sustaining and contained within a train-like vehicle, one could have frictionless travel at a fraction of the power. Plus, with the power self-contained within the locomotive, one would simply need to fuel it. The tracks would be extremely safe too.

[kbxj9]

@dalsio the japanese already have trains that use this technology

[ChrisD4335]

@kbxj9 this dose not use not quite the same principals used as a monorail although similar
