He said: 'We made a bunch of improvements from the 1.0 to the 2.0 and probably the most noticeable change is the change in the deck.' In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Arx Pax engineer, Kyle O'Neil, discussed the design of their new gadget. The firm also went back to its roots with the skateboard inspired design - just like Marty McFly's in Back to the Future. The Hendo 2.0, which is being tested by Hawk, is the recent upgrade on the 1.0 and features improved battery life and better steering capabilities. The surface acts as a secondary magnetic field and it is what makes the high-pitched squeal when the gadget is in motion. The innovation here is in the efficiency of the induction process and the ability to control the movements of the hovering objects. So the board underneath the Hendo can be aluminum and copper to work, for instance. The magnets only work as long as metal conductor is used in the surface underneath. The Hendo Hoverboard uses four ‘hover engines’ which emit magnetic fields that push against each other.
