Hoverboard 2.0 costs $10000; tech used in NASA ‘tractor beam’

Now, Hawk has been helping out on the design of the new model, slimming the device down to give it a look and feel closer to that of a traditional skateboard.

“Getting Tony’s feedback made a huge difference in our design approach”, says Greg Henderson, Arx Pax co-founder and CEO, in press materials on the new 2.0 board. This thinking also led the team to modify actual skateboard trucks as part of the structural control system.

Earlier this year, all our dreams came true when the folks behind the Hendo Hoverboard brought all our Back to the Future II dreams to life. “The Hendersons’ movie-inspired technology has led to not only a functional hoverboard, but also other fascinating hover applications”.

The Hendo hoverboard is actually only one small part of Arx Pax’s ambitious technology initiative. The technology has the potential to revolutionize numerous markets, including transportation, industrial automation, structural isolation, space, entertainment/recreation and education.

“We’re thrilled to be associated with BTTF’s imaginative technologies, especially since ours is now a reality”, Arx Pax CCO Jill Henderson said in a statement.

And now from the hoverboard beat: Arx Pax, the company behind the wide-ranging Magnetic Field Architecture (MFA) technology, has unveiled its Hendo 2.0 hoverboard, built in collaboration with skateboarding legend Tony Hawk. These adjustments will hopefully help people do more with the board than spin and float helplessly.

However, there have been a number improvements to the design second time around. It was, however, a proof of concept for the company’s unique magnetic field architecture, or MFA.
