Maglev Train - complete video presentation

This system is vulnerable to an earthquake.

any system is

On short journey. Currently the technology is at infant stages and not suitable for building long journey maglev ride.

i love this technology, with some refinements and adaptations i believe they could achieve much better than 500 MPH and could very well eventually be used as a launching platform for space vehicles. By increasing the speed and elevation at takeoff the costs of launching could be drastically reduced... might be a good idea for unmanned cargo missions

What happens if some idiot runs infront of it....like a semi.  Wouldnt those speeds basically kill EVERYONE?

i like the japanese idea better
although this one is cool

Japanese Mag-Lev is better than American, it goes more than 500 Km/H, and the Idea is better, it pulls and pushes, not only pulling like this one

they are ging to build one from here where im from LAS VEGAS to LA...i think..or somewhere in California..i just found out..it was on the news about a week ago

i also heard there building one from tampa, FL to Orlando, Fl
