MagLev Toy Train - German Version

[Parmenides111]

Wunderbar! Einfach toll!

Wie kann man das wohl Alltags tauglich machen?

[DonPohlino]

Hi, weißt Du wie die Magneten aufgebaut sind auf dem die Bahn fährt? wo liegen Plus und Minus Pol? Irgendwie erstaunlich, wenn man immer + an - und - an + macht bekommt man doch keine 3 Reihen die nebeneinander liegen hin, oder?^^

[sewageable]

I don't suppose anyone will know the answer to this but, how long does a given quantity of nitrogen cool the super magnet for? i.e assuming train + passengers weighs 50 tonnes, how much liquid nitrogen would be required to keep magnet cool for a distance of 10 miles?

[curea229]

Awesome!

[ZaamTheMan]

Wow. I love how the train rides on the side of the building at 4:02

[MHunt1000]

Bit of a pain having to have a constant supply of liquid nitrogen, but that's really cool. Especially the trams going round the side of the buiulding at the end. Very cool!

[markkragh]

I need a superconducting toy train. Would be the ultimate party gadget plus make great cocktails...

[Ossiauto601]

find ich ne prima sache der einzigste haken is halt das das ding gekühlt werden muss.... und da kostets wieder energie :-( sonst iss es ne echt interresante technologie

[NeoGen89]

great it uses nitrogen as fuel :P

[jbrun009]

Cool toy. I've watched a few superconductor videos like this, and they're just so perplexing, on one hand, the magnets repel eachother, but don't fly apart, but it can follow an oval track that its repelling? Its so weird how it works

[jbrun009]

looks safe for children

[lepivert]

Nice... but how can I stop the train in case of problem ?

[grugno1986]

spettaolare!!!

[mudaphucker]

its got mean body roll

[skatermanrules]

see the germans are the best they make smart things and awsome toy trians go germans!!!!!!!!!!!

[w1ngzer0]

i know the trick here.... they are using two positive or two negative ends to make it float... i know it ;) j/k

[LexManSubs]

Surely using magnets in the roads and in our cars, the same thing can then apply?

[anurag0240]

the train moves by the magnetic power that is stored in the track, it goes along the train or u shud say train goes along by it!!!for starting n stopping air pressure is needed. Das ist Deutsch Bahn!!!

[psassaki]

Would you mind put some subtitles on this video ?

I speak portuguese/english and i'm not understanding ANYTHING ahhahaah

---

waiting for english subtitle

[psassaki]

sorry, i didn't look at the description ...

[dragonscape99]

the one going sideways was the best, if there weren't those megnet stuff the train would probably fall. (nice video)!!

[74KU]

Man thats the perfect gift for my kids, cant wait to see the nasty shit burns they get from the liquid nitrogen

[TheGondorian]

im not sure this works xD

[lipanbara69]

Your explaination make me understand how it float. But my next question is how it move? I mean what energy make it move? I thought liquid Nitrogen function to stabiles the magnet pole make it floating but what make it move, I saw he push the train to start..

[02phill]

to make it move you push it or aplie a small force to it, as there is practicly no friction exept for air resistance it keeps going for ages :)

[pittim]

The train in reality does have wheals (at lease in the Japanese version) which once the train hits a specific speed, they retracted.

[jaahnaa]

it's like that

[mboro03]

Cool

[Ynazzra67]

I havent seen this in a wile

[elibol1010]

ahahhhahaha cute

[elibol1010]

ahahhhahaha cute

[kwg06516]

Warning: Children's shattered fingers may pose a choking hazard.

[stevieduemler]

Aww the cute little train!

[bluealien23]

I have uploaded the english Version of this Video today.

[jakexdk]

Nice!! i hope they will make some real of these hover trains..

but why does it to be frozen?

[videojosh20]

When frozen, the magnet becomes supercharged, formoing an almost unbreakable bond. The same also happens when the material is superheated.

[jakexdk]

oh ok..

Thx!!

[videojosh20]

Happy to help

[videojosh20]

Happy to help

[tapdancingbondfreak]

Deutsch: Also, das ist der Hammer! Deutsche Ingenieurskunst!

English: Well, that's great! German engineering!

[soldog]

I don't understand the language, but I immediately thought that space may be cold enough to eliminate the need for frozen nitrogen.

[Spoiledtexan44]

I did not understand a word you said but you saved my science fair project. Thank you!!!

[iamfumanchu]

Germans can build anything...

[Anarchemitis]

I've heard of a maglev locomotion system could potentially propell a vehicle from 0 to 2000km/h in 18 seconds, but it would tear the thing a part.

[frizspin175]

good video, too bad I can't speak german.

[inowannabe]

hey petpatrol its only 500kmh not 5000 if it went so fast then we can have maglevs 4 rockets ^_^

[inowannabe]

tats gud but were 2 get sme linquid nitrogen.......ebay???

[einmalaso]

i must say the germans did a good job

[superkikim]

Gosh Can't believe it. Tomorrow id today...

But a question... How much energy would you need to keep this cold enough ? :-( Lots of work here for future use :-)

[rspike462]

hmmm very interesting

[Screwhammmer]

Very cool stuff.

P.S. English sounds the same when you play it backwards.

[wwwvisitaalborgcom]

I looks like it wil be very cold for my feet in af fullscale train like this ;-)

But looks very exiting.

[gameshock94]

buta what whhhhaaatttt?...

[zaphod3099]

Interesting.

[woofboy111]

So is the track make out of magnets itself, or is it just a ferromagnetic material? I would think it needs to be made out of magnets with the opposite poles the trains magnet pointing up. This way the magnets repel each other, allowing the train to float.

[woofboy111]

What I don't understand is how the train seems to memorize it's position in the center of the tracks. If you take two repelling magnets and place them on top of each other with no physical guidance, the magnets will repel, but will also veer off to the side since they are trying to get their poles aligned properly. I'm not quite understanding why this isn't happening here. I'm not too clear on how superconductors work exactly, so that may have to do with my confusion. Any suggestions?

[bruer123]

Superconductors aren't normally magnets, they repell the magnetic field completely, meaning the field lines go around them. This results in holding the magnet in a fix position, attracting it when it goes to far away and repel it when it comes to close.

[mdeonx12]

Oh no, no more flattening pennies.

[mhr2608]

haHHAHAh! funny, and true. what's also funny is "ShtigShtog" 0.36

[boeingguy223]

is this Marklin?

[sonicdistortion12]

who would play with liquid nitrogen

[rml695]

That's amazing! I was very surprised when it went super fast around the track and didn't fall off.

[Petpatrol2]

The real Maglev train, which works around this principle, goes about 5000kmph, look for it on youtube.

[sonicdistortion12]

1 too many zeros

[navy2kq]

+ the maglev uses a completely different principle ... as you will first notice the baglev has guides on the track... this does not... maglev eploys normal electromagnets this doesn't, the maglev actually needs a track, aditional to the magnetic lane to start off... this doesn't...etc...etc..etc... maglev is 1700 technology at its best, this is 1950+ technology in its infancy...

[naelius]

Dude, they didn't have supercooled superconductors in the 50's........ But I guess you'd have to understand German to realize what they were talking about.

[navy2kq]

superconductors were known to the scientific comunity long before the 50's :) check for instance the wikipage on this: "Superconductivity was discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes"

[Brauerwolf]

a eso se le llama un superconductor...un material sometido a un exceso de temperatura.. pierde su resistencia... por eso nececita enfriar el magneto con nitrógeno...

[78f2504x4]

you need to understand german to understand how cool that is

[guitarguy950]

whats the liquid nitrogen 4 and isnt that a little dangerous for kids

??/

[budsiskos]

the liquid nitrogen allows the train to float on one axis of magnets instead of multiple. in other words, if you put same poles together on a normal magnet it rocks and wont stabilize, but the liquid nitrogen lets it stabilize and hover

[asmo5956]

basically yes liquid nitrogen is dangerous for kids,

and no it's not a toy, this is just part of a research project

[kumatador]

that's not a toyyyyy. what kid is allowed to play with liquid nitrogen?

[thetreeregimovies]

if they switch model trains with this POS im gonna beat the shit outta them!

[mmamaster971]

thats sick! u could hang the train upside down and it would still go around!

[holonat]

This is really cool! Amazing what you can do with just a simple magnet and liquid nitrogen!

[Cymro32]

I broke into laughter upon seeing the sideways train coupled with that cheesy music :P

Anyway, this looks like great fun.

[solpilen]

Very nice. Defenetly a future for magnetic

technology

[zattss]

This is to cool. Neat.

[SailorBarsoom]

This is very cool... literally! In particular, I thought that the way it worked even upside-down or sideways was interesting. Still, I don't think I'll be buying the five-year-old a toy that requires that he mess around with liquid nitrogen.

And yeah, I realize it's a grown-up toy. Wouldn't mind having one myself.

[alecdddd]

make a good chrismas present.......but were would you get liquid nitrogen.....walmart

[uberstupidmove]

and if you did, would you trust a child with it?

[sanddragon99]

very nice video !

[catsmithyu]

Kea

[michaelmohrmann]

This clip was very interesting, but I wish it was translated into english.

[penled]

WHAT IS HE SAYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

[lucky8919]

wow amazing

[Amerotke]

o ne lan göt kadar

[manoverboarddd]

the magnet is supercooled, so there is no resistance and induced currents can flow freely in the magnet. Its cooled a certain distance from the magnet so that any change in distance induces currents in the magnet that create a magnetic field that attract or repel hte magnet back to its original position.

[Maglevkits]

quite interesting it is the adult toy

[eng3118]

increditble !,

will it be the world of magnet in the future ?

[beerlor]

Why does the magnet in the train have to be cooled to work?

[Helge129]

It´s not a magnet, it´s a superconductive material, which "freezes" the magnetic fields.

[brandnew0360]

ganz gut

[JohnaldChaffinch]

does gravity still slow it down then

[bestamerica]

why need ICE liquid.what if summer time

[Dotcomname3]

can we get this in english?

[llllllllllllllkop]

why

[Dotcomname3]

cuz i'd really be interested in what they have to say. Regardless, the video seems to speak for itself.

[Starcross42]

I don't speak german, however, is there a magnet for attraction and then the superconducting floating magnet for levitation?

[joeboyferret07]

whoa then people wont have to worry about crashing on real train!

[BigVahnD]

if only it where cheap and easy set up it would be all over by now.
