"I think that's what I read on Wikipedia five minutes ago". Love your honesty, Eric.

Eric, your namesake Eric Laithwaite invented Maglev and appeared on TV in the UK in the 70s "Christmas Lectures". He's the reason I became an electrical engineer. A friend and I built a miniature functional Maglev system when we were at high school.

Eric, your guess about alternating polarity is very much in the right direction.

Nice. I went to the maglev test track by kawaguchiko a few months ago. I can’t wait for the real one.

Welcome to my town🎌

You guessed right, that's basically a linear motor.

You guys are getting your Tesla science on.

Eric is correct in how it works. the train probably has baterries.

Loved this one 😁😁

Friggin magnets; how do they work?!?

cool train, nice view from it

Excellent 👍 Thanks for the extra video

Yeah Japan is really bad at planning these train systems. They recently built the shinkansen going to Fukui. Before the shinkansen we only have to transfer twice to get to KIX. Now we have to ride the shinkansen for 20 mins to the end and transfer to the same express train we did before and do the same transfers, so 3 times now. It also saves no time and we have to pay more, but the same rail line still exists for the express train to go all the way to Toyama.
