New Samsung-powered hoverboard won't blow up (says its designer)
Ever since Russell Crowe's kids weren't allowed to take their hoverboards on a plane, I've been wondering whether he'll ever be happy.
Many airlines ban hoverboards, as they deem them unsafe. This miffed the great actor enormously. Now along comes the designer of a new hoverboard who claims this one won't explode, as too many have before.
It's called Kiwano and the breakthrough, according to designer Juan Contreras, is to use to Samsung batteries and components. Contreras, a former Vapor Shark engineer who lives in Miami, believes that using Samsung's 18650 lithium Ion battery cell and other Samsung circuitry will reassure buyers. He claims that this is the first time Samsung technology has been used in a hoverboard.
