Thanks. I checked the link. The layout of the system is clear. The levitation is not difficult to understand. But I don't know enough about electromagnetic fields to understand how two parallel coils can produce a forward linear acceleration. I will read up on electromagnetism.

It's basicly a linear induction motor.
The track functions as the motor stator, and the vehicle is the motor rotor.
