Breaking Gravity SYNOPSIS: Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, published in 1915, sparked the search for a unified field theory combining electromagnetism and gravity. This scientific endeavor has intensified greatly in recent years, with mathematicians and theoretical physicists all over the world racing to combine quantum mechanics and relativity into a single Theory of Everything. When Dale Adams, a business student in Atlanta, stumbles across the key to solving this mystery, he doesn’t realize the magnitude of the breakthrough. Instead, he uses his discovery of a new principle of physics like a cheap parlor trick by creating a floating toy. But when he pitches his ZG Board––a "Zero Gravity" hoverboard––before investors as part of a class project, there are those in the room who immediately recognize the true potential of this new technology. As powerful forces vie to get their hands on Dale’s discovery, Dale’s life quickly descends into a nightmare of violence and intrigue. Instead of savoring the last weeks of college and coasting toward graduation, Dale finds himself running for his life. www.smashwords.com/books/view/447280+++ Hi, Thanks for taking a moment to read my synopsis! If you decide to read the book, please let me know what you think. I am very open to any feedback you might have. Thanks, Mitty

I see Kickstarter has people funding a hover board, called Hendo Hoverboards...

In my country we have too many holes in the asphalt. I'm pretty sure one would collapse into one hover board and all.

Read the description serbanvcenache and you'll see it requires a non magnetic metal surface to work on. It wouldn't work on asphalt.

Scott Westerfeld predicted hoverboards that work pretty much just like this in his Uglies series, interestingly enough.
