The Maglev, Shanghai

Maglev - derived from magnetic levitation - is a system of transportation that uses magnetic levitation to suspend, guide and propel vehicles from magnets rather than using mechanical methods. Maglev transport is a means of flying a vehicle or object along a guideway by using magnets to create both lift and thrust, only a few inches above the guideway surface. High-speed maglev vehicles are lifted off their guideway and thus are claimed to move more smoothly and quietly – regardless of speed. This is German Engineering and Chinese will. What a joy ride it was. Video coming soon!
