12:52 A diesel electric generator wouldn't generate enough power for levitating the train?! I guess the passenger trains build for levitation need to be specifically build for lighter weight. You probably have to refuel them on each station like was done with the old steam locomotives. Either transmit power in station to small batteries or drop some diesel... THAT SAID. Great presentation! Have you considered covering the Transport System Bögel? There are building a local commuter train system with a cheap passive track. And speed is actually not the major issue here in Germany. Reliability and maintenance cost is.
"enough power for levitating " is not an issue u can use PM for levitation and very small but fast acting electromagnet to keep it stable . Imgine this Magnetic Levitation Anti Gravity Toy th-cam.com/video/qe4x8rEk0Tc/w-d-xo.html but EM at other end fine tuning its common in permanent magnet bearings
Hey, thank you for the Video. Many great points in the end there which i already asked myself. However concerning the power supply i believe they are using the track as the accelerator, as in they are laying down “tracks” or coils which are then used to accelerate the wagon, at least in the booster version and probably also in the meglev. Why i believe this? In the video of their test track you can see the rail with the wires in a mesh of coils going down the track. Also in their sells video to the investors they mentioned that they don’t need the overhead cables and on their website under “core technologies” they say: ”No onboard power supply for traction purposes needed”. Therefore i could imagine this being an economically viable alternative for non electrified routes that are getting electrified. However we would need to see more data and cost estimates regarding using booster or maglev systems on already existing high speed railways or electrified low/mid-speed tracks.
I wonder if Supercavitating trains could work, basically making a vacuum around the train without the need for a tube, of course it he question would be how much power it would use vs how much the reduced drag would save on fuel
Just one and half min into your video, you said the tracks need to be straight. So how is it possible on existing Indian tracks? Whats the point of maglev on tracks with curves like in India?
You are a great teacher
Thank you! 😃 you are so kind

Fain point I dont doubt that it can be done there are system that do this in realworld use QUESTION is price per KM

short answer NO

no one is trying to implement it in INDIA
Buddy straighten the tracks
Just be honest with your audience. The idea is utterly preposterous. It fails on every level.
did you watch after 11:10 there is a whole slide of why its not as great as the marketing
