Could we make it a hover-board rather than a skateboard :-)
My 16 year old son has just come up with a working design ..... just
"very unfortunate" that it only works with super conductors cooled to
around absolute zero, so better throw in a pair of socks!
I've always liked the idea of socks as a gimmick ("here is a pair of
socks .... you'll need them after we knock your socks off when you see
what we can do"), but Rocket Socks work just as well :-)
