In this test, you will drop the hoverboard from different heights. Play around, but be sure to test at least one low, medium, and high drop. Examine the hoverboard for physical damage after the drop. Run the hoverboard to determine if it is still safe.
Drop Test Height
You dropped the hoverboard from a high height. That drop clearly caused some major physical damage to the hoverboard – exposing the wiring and the dangerous mechanical parts inside. Safety scientists normally wouldn’t run a hoverboard with this much damage because it’s already dangerous enough. But in this virtual simulation, we can still run it and see if we did any damage to the battery pack.* Now let's run it!
*Our real-life tests run for 15 minutes at 18 mph, but we’ll speed things up here in our virtual lab. Also note that the battery temperature will always start at 75°F (23.9°C) to represent ambient room temperature.
Drop Test Height
You dropped the hoverboard from a medium height. Although the exterior cracked, it looks like this hoverboard will still run.* Now let's run it!
*Our real-life tests run for 15 minutes at 18 mph, but we’ll speed things up here in our virtual lab. Also note that the battery temperature will always start at 75°F (23.9°C) to represent ambient room temperature.
Drop Test Height
You dropped the hoverboard from a low height. There’s no physical damage to the hoverboard and no exposed wiring.* Now let's run it!
*Our real-life tests run for 15 minutes at 18 mph, but we’ll speed things up here in our virtual lab. Also note that the battery temperature will always start at 75° F (23.9°C) to represent ambient room temperature.
