This is it, the real Hoverboard!

Arx Pax introduced the Hendo Hoverboard last year, using four machines to float on the surface of special and now the futuristic toys have got an upgrade.

The developers of these devices are still saying this hoverboard only way to get the pressure, his true passion is to build machines that are geared to different applications.

"We made a lot of improvements from version 1.0 to 2.0 and perhaps the most striking change is part of the deck," said Kyle O'Neil, an Arx Pax engineer, told the Associated Press on Monday, March 14, 2016.

"Before it was just a piece of plastic, this time we got back to the hoverboard inspired skateboard," he added.

In order Arx Pax drift machine is working, this board must be entirely above a conductive material, such as copper or aluminum that serves as a secondary magnetic field and still make high rotation when moving.

"We have four machines and now we have the ability to start static," said O'Neil.

The Arx Pax machine uses a device that creates a magnetic field that interacts with a conductive surface, which eventually creates a small closed loop of electricity, which is known as 'eddy current'. Basically creates a magnetic field in which users can ride. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | | HENDO HOVERBOARD | GIZMODO]

The modified motorcycle this time is very unique and also show more ferocious impression on the modified motorcycle. Yes, in the skilled hands of a young Italian builder named Simone Conti was born a unique motorcycle with fierce look. The motor is from a Ducati Monster 900 i.e. but the rest is almost completely hand-built.

Conti measured the original Monster trellis frame, and used the geometry to create his own frame with an AutoCAD program. This was then cut with a CNC machine and assembled into the skeletal creation we see here.

Here are several detailed pictures of SCM 1.0 Ducati Monster custom. (All picture taken from: http://adf.ly/1YUvFV)

The bodywork is a mix of aluminum and carbon fiber, all created by hand. That includes the fairings, the air box, the seat, the snaking exhaust system and the gas tank. (It contains a mere six liters, so Conti is now making another that contains a mighty eight liters.) 

And that’s the full extent of what we know about this machine. But sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Head over to Simone Conti’s Facebook page for more images of the Monster custom, and the build process. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | BIKEEXIF]
