The Super Power of Maglev Windmills



The search for alternate energy sources is one of the most critical issues of this time as we drain resources from planet earth on a daily basis. Now that these resources are nearly depleted, it’s about time to think about solutions. The good thing is that with water flow, geo-thermal ...

Hermann Kemper - Maglev Genius



In early 1900’s two Americans, Robert Goddard and Emile Bachelet proposed the concept of utilizing the magnetic levitation technology for high speed transport. But no practical technique could be followed as the technology had limitations in those times. Hermann Kemper was the first scientist to exhibit the use of the ...

The Historical Journey of the Maglev Train



The biggest problem faced by the high speed rail system is friction causing the bearings to wear out by overheating. To overcome this problem several attempts have been made to levitate the train, so that there are no wheels and bearings to wear out. The only problem posed by the ...
