Very creepy, can't imagine what applications this might have.

 

[maximus maximus]

The biggest application will be in the world of transportation. Imagine having trains with no wheels.

That would rock.

They might have to re-think the whole braking thing though

 

[hypn0tik]

Damn

 

[Ramma2]

It attracts and repels at the same time?!

*head explodes*

Um... Welcome to 1984 and the Maglev train.

Superconductors are currently infeasible for really widespread usage due to the extremely low temperatures required to create them. Although I believe some Maglev trains do use superconductive magnets cooled by liquid nitrogen. Superconductors are also extremely useful in the field of electronics, too, since by definition they have 0 electrical resistance.

that's pretty weird. I'm not going to pretend I understand why it works at all.

It's future may be shady after this Maglev crash.

er... no?

I mean I can see it being used for a few simple things but I bet someone'll produce some kinda weapon out of it.

Like in Germany?
That is really cool though.

Except for the whole crash on test run due to vehicle left on track ... Oooopsie

 

[Kaido]

Whoa, that part at the end where he picks up the bottom block is pretty cool :Q

I know. A maglev crashes into a maintenance vehicle and it somehow throws the technology into doubt
