    Seems pretty cool, but I gotta wonder the limitations. Apparently it'll only have one inch of lift. I wonder how a persons weight effects this (if at all? I need to read up on this MFA stuff they talk about). Will future applications have greater lift? Because inch seems like it could end up causing some problems.

    its a step in the right direction but the board seem to be floating way to close to the ground, also i can see u having almost no control over it since u will rotate in circles unless constantly altered in direction with your feet.
    as for the biggest limitation, "surface needs to be a non-ferromagnetic conductor" so have anything that atracts a magnet near u and you're ****ed lol.
    i read its battery powered too and i bet this will consume massive ammounts of battery power ;P

    so no thanks, ill save my 10k$ lol
