This demonstrates one type of Maglev train, the kind lifted by induced current repulsion in a conductive track. Only usually the track stays still and the magnets move fast. It's related to superconductor levitation, but done with high speed motion.
The pipes are several pounds each, thick-walled "schedule-80" copper from the scrap bin at Alaskan Copper and Brass in Seattle. Shaft pins were cryo-fit and turned on a lathe to mate with 1" ballbearing races. The motor is an AC/DC replacement 5000rpm sewing machine motor from WW Grainger catalog. Speed control is a 1000-watt triac lamp dimmer.

ahm and they're dangerous too cuz you can get about 35000 amps/cm² through them without the superconductive melting ( i wouldnt advice you to touch it unless you wanted to become something similar to kentucky fried chicken;)) except for that they're as dangerous as a normal wire i think
hey guys, i really need everyones help for my question.... why is superconductive materials dangerous??? i need an ans for my chemistry project ASAP. plzz
surely the amount of energy required to spin the copper tubes at such would be far higher than the amount required to move the metal against friction, so this would not be good for a train, you are mearly changing were you are putting the energy so efficiency would be worse.
