Future of Transportation: Superconducting Magnetic Levitation and Suspension

This is another wonderful Technology that will help us in transportation. However in Japan a train is already running on the principals of Superconducting Levitation. In the future the use of Magnetic Levitation and Suspension will be improved and better controlled, allowing us to get better transportation. I collected a few of videos that explain how this wonderful technology works.

How Superconducting Levitation Works

In particular: Magnetic Levitation Train in some countries is already reality

Magnetic Levitation Train, also maglev train, a high-speed ground transportation vehicle levitated above a track called a guideway and propelled by magnetic fields (see Magnetism). Magnetic levitation train technology can be used for urban travel at relatively low speeds (less than 100 km/h, or less than 62 mph). For example, a short-distance maglev shuttle operated for 11 years from 1984 to 1995 between the Birmingham, England, airport and the city train station. However, the greatest worldwide interest is in high-speed maglev systems. Train speeds of 552 km/h (343 mph) have been demonstrated by a full-size maglev vehicle in Japan, while in Germany a maglev train has run at 450 km/h (280 mph) and in China a maglev train has reached a peak speed of 432 km/h (268 mph).
