A flywheel energy storage system works by spinning a large, heavy wheel, called a flywheel ... have employed 120 advanced ...

As well as looking cool, using magnetic levitation instead of wheels mean there is no physical contact between the vehicle and the ‘guideway’ or rail, so there is no wear and tear. Because the ...

Magnetic levitation has not quite revolutionized the world of transit the way some of us might have hoped. It has, however, proven useful to [mrdiytechmagic], who has put the technology to grand ...

is an ambitious high-speed rail project that uses magnetic levitation technology instead of traditional wheels. This allows for ultra-fast speeds, reduced friction, and a smoother ride.

Magnetic levitation is a beautiful thing to watch. Seeing small objects wobble about while seemingly hovering in thin air never gets old. If you want something suitably distracting in this vein ...

Each wheel is about 12 feet in diameter and features ... field strong enough to hold the structure together through magnetic levitation. This magnetic field was believed to disrupt the compasses ...

Before magnetic levitation occurs, the train runs on wheels, giving off a unique sound. An interior monitor display showed the speed and magnetic levitation occurred when the train hit 150 kph or so.
