Welcome, shadow! There are quite a few maglev enthusiasts, myself included, here at hypography.

 

Try reposting your question in the Science Projects and Homework forum, though – the Introductions forum is meant to let you tell us a bit about yourself, and us tell you a bit about us – introductions, in other words. We like to keep serious discussion in the forum that fits it.

Also note that I have leved a challenge in those very forms to build and test a specific kind of Maglev. I would highly encourage taking it on, naturally.
