In a world where speed defines progress, China is pushing the boundaries of transportation with a train that could make ...

A test by Italian firm IronLev has provided successful examples of how a magnetic levitation train, or maglev, might work on already existing train tracks. This is a huge boon, as the maglev demo ...

Like other magev trains, the system uses powerful electromagnets that let carriages float over – or in this case under – a track. The system uses the basic principle that opposite magnetic ...

The researchers are using magnets positioned in trench of the track as a kind of magnetic gear to push against ... This is used to push the train up to speed, as well as slow it down for braking.

[Workshop From Scratch] was faced with this problem, so he built a motorized magnetic track for his plasma cutter. Thanks to a pair of repurposed electromagnetic door looks and adjustable base ...

Before magnetic levitation occurs, the train runs on wheels ... when the speed was reduced and wheels again connected to the track. Only brief glimpses of outside scenery were possible because ...

The Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology, a Russian engineering and scientific research institute which is part of the Roscosmos space corporation, has designed a magnetic ... train up off the ...
