The hoverboard uses two "cryostats" which are effectively reservoirs that store a superconducting material at -197 degrees through immersion in liquid nitrogen. The board is then placed above a track that contains permanent magnets. As evico CEO Dr. Oliver de Haas explains “The magnetic field from the track is effectively ‘frozen’ into the superconductors in the board, maintaining the distance between the board and the track—essentially keeping the board hovering. This force is strong enough to allow the rider to stand and even jump on the board.”

It looks pretty cool. You still need a magnetic road to make it work. There have been more initiatives like this.
What we are all waiting for is real anti-gravity, that does work everywhere. Who knows what has been invented yet, but not shared.
