Artist builds life-size McFly hoverboard that actually floats
Do you think hoverboard travel will become a reality?

No, you haven't gone \"Back to the Future,\" but the future just got a whole lot closer. French Artist Nils Guadagnin has built a life-sized replica of the hoverboard Marty McFly rides in the movie. Unlike the replicas out from Mattel, Guadagnin's board actually floats, although it can only lift five pounds. Guadagnin solved the lift-off problem with electromagnets and hooked the contraption up with a laser guidance system. Wonder if he has a DeLorean in his garage?
