Technically, a hoverboard is a levitating platform
(that looks like a skateboard without wheels) that can be used for personal
transportation. The term was invented for the movie Back to the Future
II, where protagonist Marty McFly travels into the future to discover that
teenagers are riding on levitating boards without wheels. Although
self-balancing scooters don't actually hover, people have adopted the term
"hoverboard" as a more colloquial way to refer to the vehicles—mainly
because it sounds cooler.
How Do They Work?
Self-balancing scooters have a few basic components:
a gyroscope to determine the pitch or balance of the machine, motors that keep
the board balanced and move it forward, microprocessors to manage power output
to the motors, and large batteries to fuel the device. The most important
function of a self-balancing scooter is (you guessed it!) remaining upright. In
order to do this, microprocessors in the vehicle monitor the direction a rider
is leaning. The gyroroscope, also connected to the microprocessors, helps
gather information about the tilt of the board. Motors inside the board change
power output to keep the rider balanced. Every self-balancing scooter is
different, meaning that each one uses a different battery, set of
microprocessors, and motors.
