POPSVegas - Disneyland $12B High-Speed Rail To Have Futuristic Magnetic Levitation Trains that zoom on an air cushions created by powerful magnets instead of wheels is more absurd than Obama’s $11 billion personal fleet of 28 helicopters. They could begin the first phase of the project, linking Anaheim and Las Vegas with local airports, within the next 18 months. The estimated completion cost is about $12 billion.

POPSTrans-Atlantic MagLev -- A Magnetically Levitated Vacuum Tube Train A Maglev train floats about 10mm above the guidway on a magnetic field and is propelled by the guidway itself rather than an onboard engine by changing magnetic fields. An exotic proposal based upon this principle is the Trans Atlantic vactrain: a Maglev train in a long near-vacuum tube with speeds that allow less than one hour travel times between New York and London.

POPSNo Traffic? Michigan to Build Interstate Traveler Hydrogen Super Highway Michigan to build the country's first Maglev public transportation system: to be constructed between Detroit and Ann Arbor. Interstate Traveler Hydrogen cars will carry people, cars (drive on/off) and cargo. Construction is set to begin this year (2008). Interstate Traveler Hydrogen Super Highway? It is a collection of vital municipal utilities bundled into a Conduit Cluster: a public transit network built along the right of way of the US Interstate Highway Systems, and any other permissible right of way where such a machine would be of benefit. It will be a integration of solar powered hydrogen production and distribution with a high speed magnetic levitation ( MagLev ). A Maglev, or magnetically levitating, train is a form of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles (predominantly trains) using electromagnetic force. The first commercial Maglev was opened in 1984 in Birmingham, England.
