A new transmission device that uses magnetic levitation to almost completely eliminate friction and wear has been developed as part of the MAGDRIVE research project, a collaboration of seven European ...

Researchers are developing a new transmission mechanism with no touching parts, based on magnetic forces which prevent friction and wear and make lubrication unnecessary. It can be applied in space ...

China loves its trains. Cannot get enough train. Especially magnetic levitation types. Already home to the fastest commercial train, and laying claim to more high-speed rail than any other nation, ...

Magnets aren’t magic, but sometimes you can do things with them to fool the uninitiated — like levitating. [Jonathan Lock] does that with his new maglev desk toy, that looks like at least a level 2 ...

BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On April 9th, at the 2018 China Cooling Exhibition, Chinese brand Haier debuted the air-cooling heat pump magnetic levitation (magnetic) central air-conditioner, which ...

But who says we have to reach orbit by means of rocket propulsion alone? Instead, imagine sitting back in a comfortable magnetic levitation (maglev) train and taking a train ride into orbit. All right ...

18-year-old electrical engineer student, Chris Rieger, has been working on his levitating light bulb project — fittingly referred to as the “LevLight Project” — for about six months now. Recently he ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- A new experiment that reproduces the magnetic fields of the Earth and other planets has yielded its first significant results. The findings confirm that its unique approach has ...
