Thinking of inventing a hoverboard, like the ones in Back to the Future?
Well you might just want to find what technology is out there, and who has patented what. Google now lets you search patents. The United States Patent and Trademark Office, USPTO has let users search patents for a while, but not with the ease and tranquility you are too used to with Google.
And talking about Hoverboard’s there is some interesting reading on them at Wikipedia. However apparently the most practical version of something along those lines would have to be a scooter, but for all ages, like Go Sporting Goods’s Motorboard.
If only they could get me a Motorboard here in Norway to test drive and review. Since spending all that money on what might look like a kid’s scooter, just might not be worth it. But the kid in me says: It looks cool!
