| That is really cool. I can't even begin to scratch the surface of all of the possible revolutionary applications! |

Seriously though, the guy says at one point, "It's not floating; it's locked."
What is the difference? |

The difference is that it is locked in place in one dimension...height. It doesn't fall or rise. |

floating is unstable, locked maintains a stable position. |

this has actually been around for sometime, i remember first seeing it about 20yrs ago on the discovery channel on a show called "Beyond 2000".
the problem is an always will be maintaining the extremely cold temperatures required for these properties.

In 1955? Nuh-uh, It was in part II (when Marty goes to 2015) and III (1885 when Marty tosses it to Dr. Emmett on the locomotive to save *Clair* (Can't really remember her name, I've been at work for 14 hours...)
ETA: OK, Clara_Clayton

| Yeahhh, but what about BTF II when giff is chasing Marty with the car like the 1955 version (just before the manure) Marty takes the girls hoverboard and tries to escape but gets caught in the water, Giff has the rocket powered one... remember? |

What controls the strength of the "lock?" Apparently it's a stronger force than the weight of the disc, but weaker than what he can apply with his hands.
Also, is anyone else feeling UFO from this?? |

nothing to be concerned about, this is only magnetic fields, UFOs have mastered gravitational fields. |
