We explain how the Hyperloop could move people at speeds up to 480 kilometers per hour. The system works by reducing air pressure inside a sealed tube. Less air means far less friction slowing the pod ...

Using magnets to propel trains is not a new technology but it is still far from being perfected or even just implemented on a large scale. There are currently only four operating systems in the world ...

Magnetic levitation demonstrated using a Dremel tool spinning a magnet at 266 Hz. The rotor magnet is 7x7x7 mm3 and the floater magnet is 6x6x6 mm3. This video show the physics described in the work ...

One of the leading Hyperloop companies in the U.S. has revealed the magnetic levitation technology it will use to send pods at tremendous speeds of up to 1,200 kilometers per hour (760 miles per hour) ...

Magnetic levitation systems and actuators represent a significant advance in precision motion control, utilising magnetic forces to suspend and manoeuvre objects without physical contact. These ...

When it comes to making the Hyperloop a reality, there’s no shortage of problems to be solved. There’s the question of how to propel the people- or cargo-filled pods to 750 mph or more. There are ...

Three days ago on October 21, 2014 it was announced to the world the Back to the Future hoverboard was real. It’s a Kickstarter, of course, and it’s trending towards a $5 Million dollar payday for the ...
