First patents:

High speed transportation patents were granted to various inventors throughout the world. Early United States patents for a linear motor propelled train were awarded to the inventor, Alfred Zehden (German).

any more questions ...?

[7olusegun]

Yep; what are the long term effects of high magnetic fields on the human anatomy and physiology?

Also will magnetic levitation technology ever be used to levitate aircrafts (like planes) using the earth's weak magnetic field as leverage?

If man's future were written in stone then future projections will be mere realisations in true time, however, our creative intellect is constantly evolving in response to prescient trends; adaptive development it seems.

German technology... Can't go wrong. Germany & Japanese are 2 of the most technological advance countries. Just look at their cars, always finding new ways to improve our living standards.

Germany technology doesn't stop to surprise me

i find it so funny how the 70's "futuristic" designs looked like!!!! but even things that seemed "so modern" ten years ago are funny now!
