Honestly, I wasn’t looking for anything like this.
It’s in French, not one of my languages, but you can figure it out.

that is cool so to say.
I have to tell you that the Maglev was invented in the UK many years ago .
A commercial example is in use at Birmingham Airport , England . It is fully automated and carries passenger traffic from the rail feeder .
I presume les frogs are trying to get a study grant .

And how much power does it use to do that? That could be the big problem. Paul
I’ve always thought maglevs were amazingly cool (literally) but they must suck MASSVIVE amounts of power
mike omalley said:Mike, the whole point is that they don't. Maglev is very energy efficient, especially if done using superconducance as in the video. But superconductance is still only possible in rather low temperatures. This may change, the so called high-temperature superconductors were discovered in 1986 which discovery was awarded with a Nobel, mind you, high in physics can still be quite chilly;-))...

Paul,
No idea , I don’t pay the bill
