Thats really cool! how much weight can the carriage hold before it sinks to the track?

Too cool!

That's true, but that MagLev (and all other existing maglevs) works on an other principle: electromagnets in the tracks and in the train, so that has nothing to do with superconductors. This system, as it is explained, does not require any electrical power whatsoever.Listen to the explanation again, then you might understand...

You mean like a MagLev?

hmm nice :)

imagine a way to start the train without straight hand contacti dont know, i think i'd use some jet motors or something like astronauts use to move in space, some compressed air to make it move, and the same with the brakes, just in the opposite directionit's so awesome, no friction = great inertia :)

Check out my beginning model train layout (video) and update video.

I think that the train should be superconducting not the track. It wouldn't be economical to keep a hole track below 183 Celsius besides these materials can be rather costy to use them as track.

So then what happens if you set it on a "track" made up of a series of computer controlled electromagnets. If it's 'holding' the field - could a change in the field as programmed by the computer cause a change it the direction of the 'train'? What if the surface was the superconductor and the vehicle was a series of computer controlled electromagnets?Hmmm...Times like these I wish I were smart.
