When you need POWER, SparkFun has you covered! Welcome to the future, people. It's 2015 and we may not be able to predict the weather to a second or control flying cars but we do finally have your hoverboard! The SparkFun High Output Velocity Emitting Repulsor Board combines three decades of our creative ingenuity into developing this autonomously powered personal levitator that allows you to fly close to the ground without any liquid-nitrogen-cooled superconductors, permanent magnets, or a metal-lined quantum-locking "obfuskate" park.

The SparkFun H.O.V.E.R. Board sports a number of innovative features that can literally shock and amaze! The Legacy Power Containment Unit may look like an outdated car battery but this thing can very nearly power a whole H.O.V.E.R. Board and a PWR LED simultaneously! The Faraday Relative-Floatation Sub-Matrix connects directly to the Repulsor Array on the bottom of the board and they sure do help keep the H.O.V.E.R. Board afloat somehow while the Electrolyte Reservoir helps carry an electric charge between the two.

Once the SparkFun H.O.V.E.R. Board is turned on it is going to start accelerating at an alarming pace so make sure you are securely on the board before activating it. Now don't be too worried, we have installed a few "saftey measures" to help with the blazing speeds you'll be sure to reach. The Acceleration Mitigation Pedal found at the front of the board will help slow you down by just leaning your body forward at top speed, it's very intuitive! Should all else fail, however, we have installed two pairs of Emergency Arrestor Grapples to the bottom of the board. By detecting the sudden change of weight from an inevitable gnarly bail, weight sensors in the H.O.V.E.R. Board send a signal to the gas powered grapples resulting in a hopeful hard lock on the surface directly below the board and a sudden deceleration. Seriously though, you are going to want that hard lock. All of this has been attached to one of Pete Dokter's Wood Laminate Scab Factory Boards and held together with a series of artisanal quality, Malaysian bungee cords.

A few things to keep in mind: Double check your polarity before operating the SparkFun H.O.V.E.R. Board. You seriously don't want to be anywhere near this thing when it's going backwards. After operation you may want to let your shoes 'cool' off for a little while they may be a little... you know what, toss em. Seriously, just throw your shoes away after use.

So if you are the type of person who likes to frequent your local 1980's cafe or just like to live life with a little more uncertainty then grab your 'perfect' cola, slip on your self-lacing boots, and start hovering in relative safety and extreme style!
