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

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.
