Abstract
A flyboard comprising a base element and an upper element in communication with each other by magnetic fields having the same polarity and magnetic fields having opposite polarities to permit floatation of the upper element over the lower element while a user is standing on the upper element.
Claims16
A flyboard comprising:
- a base element having a bottom surface and a top surface comprising at least one first magnetic field generator configured to project a first magnetic field upward with a single polarity, and
- an upper element having a top surface and a bottom surface with a center portion, a front portion, and a rear portion, at least one second magnetic field generator affixed to the center portion and configured to project a magnetic field toward the first magnetic field generator with the same polarity as the upward projecting field of the first magnetic generator, at least one third magnetic field generator affixed to the front portion and configured to project a magnetic field toward the first magnetic field generator with the opposite polarity as the upward projecting field of the first magnetic generator, and at least one fourth magnetic field generator affixed to the rear portion and configured to project a magnetic field toward the first magnetic field generator with the opposite polarity as the upward projecting field of the first magnetic generator.
A flyboard comprising:
- an upper element having a bottom surface and a top surface comprising at least one first magnetic field generator configured to project a first magnetic field downward with a single polarity, and
- a base element having a top surface and a bottom surface with a center portion, a front portion, and a rear portion, at least one second magnetic field generator affixed to the center portion and configured to project a magnetic field toward the first magnetic field generator with the same polarity as the downward projecting field of the first magnetic generator, at least one third magnetic field generator affixed to the front portion and configured to project a magnetic field toward the first magnetic field generator with the opposite polarity as the upward projecting field of the first magnetic generator, and at least one fourth magnetic field generator affixed to the rear portion and configured to project a magnetic field toward the first magnetic field generator with the opposite polarity as the upward projecting field of the first magnetic generator.
A method of operating a flyboard comprising:
- providing a flyboard comprising:
- i. a base element having a bottom surface and a top surface comprising at least one first magnetic field generator configured to project a first magnetic field upward with a single polarity, and
- ii. an upper element having a top surface and a bottom surface with a center portion, a front portion, and a rear portion, at least one second magnetic field generator affixed to the center portion and configured to project a magnetic field toward the first magnetic field generator with the same polarity as the upward projecting field of the first magnetic generator, at least one third magnetic field generator affixed to the front portion and configured to project a magnetic field toward the first magnetic field generator with the opposite polarity as the upward projecting field of the first magnetic generator, and at least one fourth magnetic field generator affixed to the rear portion and configured to project a magnetic field toward the first magnetic field generator with the opposite polarity as the upward projecting field of the first magnetic generator;
- receiving a user on the top of the base element;
- controlling one or more magnetic field generators to achieve an elevation of the base element over the upper element;
- and
- leaning in a direction to move,
- wherein the base element is magnetically affixed to the upper element and magnetically repelled from the upper element at the same time.
