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.

Nah. Magic is good too.
Yes, that’s not a car, then, it’s a train. A very small train, but still, a train.
And how are all the computer modules on vehicles these days going to handle the EMF’s?
“OK. You need tracks, though.”
Some way to aim it would help...
I was thinking “sails” when trying to fill in the logical blanks.
This is really the best long term solution for trains and automobiles. Yes, you have to make tracks, but once you put a few of them in, their production will take off.
Just because a car floats above a magnet doesn't mean it's going to move, unless the track is sloping downhill.
repulsion happens.
For small cars and motorcycles, the most significant “friction” at speeds about 60 mph, is wind resistance.
OK, I just read the excerpt, but it seems that it would need power to go up hills and counteract wind resistance. Unless they are talking about being in the vacuum of space, of course.
Do you mean EMP's?
It makes me think of the transportation methods in the movie, “Minority Report”. They had those relatively small people movers in the city, but he still had to drive a “normal” car out in the country. I live in rural Kentucky. The road in front of my house gets roughly one car per every hour or two. I don’t think this solution will work there.
Hmmmm. I guess I’m not clear on how such a car would suddenly (or not) stop while all its momentum is “floating” on air.
This “science” is a cult. It’s as though electricity is magic to these people.
I can easily imagine someone living in animal skins in a cave having a similar reaction.
Just paint a “metal” stripe. Equip with collision avoidence and gps.
That is a simple one. You open your car door, put your leg out first, then your shoe on the ground, and apply pressure until the car stops. I saw Fred Flintstone use this procedure.
LOL! You stole my thunder. I was about to say this idea is utterly repulsive.
