  • Abstract
    Five years ago, while I was in China (accompanying my younger daughter on a high-school field trip), I had the opportunity to experience the magnetic levitation technology firsthand when our group boarded the Shanghai Maglev Train [1] on the way to the Pudong International airport. Although the ride lasted only around seven minutes, the 267 mi/h top speed certainly provided an exhilarating experience.
