wouldnt work for hover boards as far as i know as it would just stay in the position, youde push it then it would stop as soon as youve stoped pushing, the only reason it spins is because of the magnetic force going into one point in the centre of the circle magnet. (thats my understanding of super conductor)

however it is a cool video.
