That means that it could be used to move heavy loads around inside warehouses without friction - a use that has often been posited for maglev technology. This means that our patent-pending Hendo Hover Engine technology can enable platforms to hover over non-ferrous materials with payloads of virtually any size and weight.” “During our research, we discovered a way to transmit electromagnetic technology that is far more efficient than anything else. “About two years ago, we began investigating magnetic field architecture (MFA) and hover technology as a better way to build, move people and move materials,” said Arx Pax founder Greg Henderson.

That means that Hendo will only float over floors made of non-ferrous metals such as copper or aluminium this is no skateboard for flying down to the local supermarket, or around the town square hoiked to the back of a pickup truck. It uses a strong magnetic field to repulse a ground-based material and float in the same way maglev trains operate.


The current prototype of the Hendo – the company’s 18th – will hover about 3cm off the ground carrying up to 140kg (about two people) for around 15 minutes. ‘A better way to build, move people and move materials’
