A new transmission device that uses magnetic levitation to almost completely eliminate friction and wear has been developed as part of the MAGDRIVE research project, a collaboration of seven European ...
Magnetic sculptures are a sure sign of chronic geekiness. You just need to have something levitating in your abode to prove you live in a place where science and fantasy coincide. Seen below is a ...
BERLIN, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- The government of the German city-state Berlin is planning to test magnetic levitation (maglev) trains for passenger and freight transportation, local media reported on ...

Do maglev bullet trains still ride on wheels?
Maglev bullet trains promise a future where steel wheels and clattering rails give way to smooth, floating speed. Yet the ...
Researchers are developing a new transmission mechanism with no touching parts, based on magnetic forces which prevent friction and wear and make lubrication unnecessary. It can be applied in space ...
Let’s face it, levitating anything is pretty fascinating — especially when you think there should be wires. This project puts a new spin on magnetic levitation by using a PID controller to levitate a ...
China loves its trains. Cannot get enough train. Especially magnetic levitation types. Already home to the fastest commercial train, and laying claim to more high-speed rail than any other nation, ...
A new experiment that reproduces the magnetic fields of the Earth and other planets has yielded its first significant results. The findings confirm that its unique approach has some potential to be ...
China's push for high-speed transportation has taken a major leap forward with its experimental T-Flight maglev train. Designed to reach record-breaking speeds, this levitating train could ...
Sen. Harry Reid on Thursday all but pronounced the death of a magnetic levitation train project proposed to connect Las Vegas to Southern California. "Maglev is going nowhere," said Reid, D-Nev. It ...
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A new experiment that reproduces the magnetic fields of the Earth and other planets has yielded its first significant results. The findings confirm that its unique approach has ...
Magnets aren’t magic, but sometimes you can do things with them to fool the uninitiated — like levitating. [Jonathan Lock] does that with his new maglev desk toy, that looks like at least a level 2 ...
