We are all praying and sending positive thoughts to him and his family as well as his fellow passengers.

The French: Maglev Skateboard Testing In Paris

by The Editors on October 26, 2011

According to Wikipedia:

Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation), is a system of transportation that uses magnetic levitation to suspend, guide and propel vehicles from magnets rather than using mechanical methods, such as friction-reliant wheels, axles and bearings. Maglev transport is a means of flying a vehicle or object along a guideway by using magnets to create both lift and thrust, only a few inches above the guideway surface.

Looks like this could be the latest attraction planned from New Jersey’s Zanadu Meadowlands action mall complex.
