Hoverboard- An Advanced technology

 A hoverboard (or hover board) was initially a fictional levitating board used for personal transportation, first described by author M.K. Joseph in a 1967 science fiction novel, and popularized by the Back To the Future film franchise.Since the 2010s, "hoverboard" has become a common term for a self-balancing scooter, though strictly speaking such devices do not hover. "True" hoverboards are generally depicted as resembling a skateboard without wheels. During the 1990s there were rumors, fueled by director  Robert Zemeciks that hoverboards were in fact real, but not marketed because they were deemed too dangerous by parents' groups. These rumors have been conclusively debunked. The hoverboard concept has been used by many authors in various forms of media, for instance in the 1998 film Futuresport, used by Dean Cain's character.

On April 30, 2016, Guinness World Records recognized a new record of 2,252.4 m (2,463.3 yd). The Flyboard Air was powered by jet engine propulsion, and its use allowed Franky Zapata, in Sausset-les-Pins, France to beat the previous record by nearly 2 km (2,200 yd). Another method of achieving self-levitation is superconductivity, used by the Slide hoverboard.  



Hoverboards or Self Balancing Scooters had invented in the year 2013. However, after its invention, the device has become a subject issue for the patent rights. More, the manufacturing had started in China. In the year 2014, early units caught fire because of overheating the battery.

The average hoverboard has a top speed of around six to eight miles per hour. “All-terrain” styles with bigger tires and larger motors tend to be faster, with top speeds in excess of ten miles per hour.
