This model train flies above the magnet rails, thank to the superconductors it contains.

  • i see how it works w/ the liquid nitrogen but how is it propelled forward? or is it just given a push?

  • Hello Chessie, yes on this version you just give it a push but we have made another one with an automatic impulse which works until the superconductor warms up and the model lands naturally.

  • hi, can u send me the link or this exact clip, I promise I will reference you properly.

  • Hello Palomita40, I'd like to know who you are or work for, first, OK ?

  • where did you get the liquid nitrogen?

  • We make it ourselves :)

  • You're cooling the magnets so they become superconducters,because then they attract each another up to a certain distance,and then stop,so there is a certain amount of space between them.

    Am I right?

  • What would be a great video/model would be if you took the Flying model version of the Back to the Future Delorean and converted it.

  • how many m?agnets did you use? what kind? how many rectagular ones and how many square

  • I think I understand the levitation but what keeps the train on the track? How can it turn?

  • How much does a superconductor cost?

  • What magnetic material is the rail made of??? And how did you arrange them when you think of the poles???

  • Where do you get the superconducting magnets?

  • @Chessie9009 Magnetic Attraction +/-  or (-/+) forward and for lift of magnetic fields of same pole either +/+ or -/-.
