3: 20 ahm well. great concept but it's obvious that this is not suitable for a vast railroad system. The amount of infrastructure needed for this system is so much higher than with conventional trains hence more effort to build and operate it and higher costs for operation, maintenance etc. That's why. Thus, if you're really looking for a more advanced system you're still better off with maglev technology, which also requires a lot of effort since it isn't a well established system yet but still more plausible then this.

Concept is cool, yet it has one major factor and that is extreme cost to build it, Which is why we still use conventional railways and they are far cheaper to build and maintain. Railways cost 1 unit to build and 1 unit to mainaine, while this concept will cost 10 units to build and cost 0. 9 units to maintain over its life. As you can see why things like this do not get built. This is the reason why cars still drive on the roads rather than fly and the same concept would be far more costly to build and maintain that its worth.

I don't see it happening. You're talking about doubling or tripling the amount of steel needed to build a line. You're adding a level of complexity that I just don't see feasible to to maintain. Might be cool for a short tramway at an airport between terminals, or a replacement system for the Disney parks monorail, or very short inner-city transit linkages. That's about it.

2: 48 pretty sure the reason trains cant go up big hills is NOT because of lack of power. its because of traction. theres not enough grip with steel on steel. the reason this can tackle much bigger hills is because theres no traction involved. this narrator has no clue

I could imagine that it's not being used because it seems you can only have one train on a given track at a time. A solution would be to split the track into segments each with a pump but is it worth it?

Fantastic effort. I know how difficult it is to handle large neodymium magnets. Just one question. Did you use Halbach arrays on the shuttle magnets and the bogey magnets? Thanks for the great video.

In Germany we had a train with magnets. It is called the -Transrapid- After a hard crash, the train isn't driving here. Today I think the train is driving in Japan.

What's its top speed? Nothing will beat MagLev once it's in mass production. It's about moving freight that makes MagLev superior. Grades don't matter to MagLev.
