Talk:Inductrack

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Stationary cars

I would remove this section. It's almost certainly someone's "wishful thinking" fantasy rather than anything the researchers announced. "No moving parts friction"? Doesn't that section start out by saying it would use a moving track? There's no benefit to keeping it levitated and there's even a major disadvantage to getting rid of the wheels. The wheels are part of the fail-safe design of Inductrack. Sometime, somewhere, if it were to be built, there would be some kind of system failure and probably not at this fantastical "moving track" area, at which point it would need the wheels to settle down on. If there were no wheels, it would grind to a stop on the track like an airliner without landing gear. 24.58.246.19 08:09, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
