Italy's IronLev has developed a magnetic train that works on existing tracks. It's part of a fascinating breakthrough in the magnetic levitation rail world that could reduce costs, noise ...

According to reports, the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has been working on developing a high-speed magnetic ... trains eliminate friction by floating above the tracks ...

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.

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 ...

[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 ...
