Japan introduces magnetic levitation for cars: the end of all engines and batteries

Rolls-Royce breaks all luxury limits and unveils new engine: the end of hydrogen with something better The first biomass engine in history beats hydrogen: It’s submersible, and no one understands how it works This engine was a prediction a century ago, and it runs on steam: It’s the end of EVs and FCEVs Nowadays, cars use batteries and motors to move, however, this way of movement is very inefficient because overcoming friction and gravity takes most of the energy. But Japan presents a very innovative solution which is magnetic levitation and will be the (supposed) end of hydrogen engines.

Will the use of magnetic levitation do away with the need for batteries and motors? A group of Japanese researchers attached to the Quantum Machine Unit of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) report having created a track that provides magnetic levitation, which does not need external maintenance power.

By the latter, we mean that it does need power, but only at start-up for the generation of the magnetic field it initially requires. After that, objects, including cars, will operate by moving on it without using any other type of thrust energy such as batteries or motors.

What does this revolutionary invention consist of? On a surface, magnetic levitation causes objects, cars in our case, to rise a few centimeters above this track. This eliminates friction, so the car is able to move without the need for batteries, motors or any form of mechanical or electrical thrust.

To achieve this effect, the car is required to be made of diamagnetic materials, then magnets along the tracks provide an intense magnetic field that causes the object to “float” on the surface. And it is to generate this magnetic field that the initial energy is needed.

Annnnd now one small explosive by just one person can shut down an entire major artery for days or weeks... a crew of 6-10 terrorists can shut down an entire city pretty easily. Heck, even a small handful of the Stop The Oil grannies can shut it all down by gluing themselves to just a few locations of rail.

Hmmm. I don’t know. Might be one big go around?

Won’t the magnet levitating a car dissipate it’s magnetism?

No.

That was my thought too.

But the street is the track.

Maybe it’s analogous to only being able to drive on paved roads.

If the current doesn’t dissipate can you use it to run some machinery forever?

Also no. A stable magnetic field cannot do work.

This article is so void of needed details that is sounds like national enquirer material. What actually propels the vehicle in a given direction? How would it climb a 45 degree inclination? Obviously there is energy involved. Other wise you work it into a proprietorial motion machine and solve all of the worlds energy problems. It is just a silly article.

And if the cops don’t want you going anywhere…they simply turn off the road.

The government needs to send me millions so I can finally get my levitating car that works on monopole magnets powered by AC batteries.

And throw in a flux capacitor for good measure.

Nope..... stated correctly. Propulsion is initiated by a large consumption of beans the night before... give or take. Just aim in the opposite direction you wanna go and BOOM... you’re off.

AC batteries?! Damn! why didn’t I think of that?

All you need is a government ‘grant.’ And anything is possible.

Well, I’ll just have to hunker down and make a “breakthrough”.
