Many people have tried to make a hoverboard in the past using various weird methods. However, the ArcaBoard takes a more traditional path as that of brute force, using a total of 36 fans to raise a person several centimeters for a short time.
The ArcaBoard have 36 fans producing 272 horsepower generating 196 kilograms of thrust using impressive amount of lithium-ion batteries. ArcaSpace, the creator of this hoverboard, began their journey as one of the original Ansari X Prize competitors in 2004. The ArcaBoard did not win any awards for its aesthetics, and seems incredibly difficult to control, assuming that the pilot has some kind of real control(yes, it has self-stabilizing, and can fly with a smartphone). How much high can it fly?About 30 centimeters.
And the basic question: What is the catch? Firstly, ArcaBoard can fly for only six minutes . No, it’s not a joke. The addition of more batteries cause the ArcaBoard to even beat its own weight. It takes 6 hours to recharge the battery, hover you can buy additional battery module which can be charged within 35minutes. Finally, the hoverboard costs $ 19,900 , plus another $ 4,500 per battery module. We applaud in advance to all the pioneers who have decided to enter the pre-order and wait until April to receive it.
