RE: Say Hello To The Floating Trains of the Future

You can make a homemade electromagnet using either an AA or 9V battery. All that is required is a battery, a copper wire, one nail or screw and a metallic object which you can attract; in this example a small nail.

Messed around with this back in secondary school. I almost felt like an inventor :), an Isaac Newton blessed with magical powers.

I hope trains as described in your post can be implemented here in Nigeria, fast trains would really cut down on transport costs, less accidents too. And the issue of traffic congestion would greatly reduce.

But then it's all hopes.

PS:

The formatting in this post is super lit. Where did you learn such markdown gymnastics? :)

It will work here at double the operating cost due to our current history of epileptic power supply. But I'd pick the train over the "luxury" buses we currently operate on. Thank you.

About the markdown, just learned from reading. There's nothing spectacular about it. Do keep steeming.
