Dry Ice Hoverboard (D.I.Y. REAL Hoverboard)

BackyardScientist demonstrates how to create a hoverboard using dry ice. The project involves using a piece of wood with a lip to hold dry ice blocks, creating a frictionless surface. The video covers the construction process, testing, and challenges faced, such as slipperiness. It also explains the properties of dry ice and the need for a large space to enjoy the hoverboard. The project is simple and fun, with the hardest part being finding enough space to use it.

• It was difficult to balance on

• It broke apart easily

• It was too heavy to lift

What unique property of dry ice allows it to slide easily across surfaces?

• It is very light

• It is magnetic
