Magnetic levitation technologies and electrodynamic suspension (EDS) systems represent a transformative advancement in transportation and industrial applications. These systems utilise the principles ...
In a new study out of Japan, researchers have demonstrated the ability to use a laser to control the motion of a magnetically levitating graphite disk. Laser moves graphite disk in the direction of ...
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 ...
The scientists chemically coated each graphite particle with a layer of electrically insulating silica. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) helps silica bind to the surface of the graphite. The coated graphite ...
Brazil is taking another step forward in the development of a magnetic levitation train (maglev). These futuristic vehicles, which are still rare worldwide, hover a few centimeters above the track, ...
As the United States struggles to keep its major cities connected by even the most barebones rail systems, China is screaming into the future with the development of a levitating bullet train. Called ...
A levitating rocket sled recently set the world speed record for maglev tracks, reaching 633 mph with supercooled magnets. (Credit: Holloman AFB) A levitating rocket sled at Holloman Air Force Base in ...
