What's the advantage of maglev? I'm no expert but logic to me sais that it must use energy to levitate the train before it gets its frictionless track. Does it save energy? And if it travels so fast this low in the atmosphre , it must push alot of air as compared with an airplane high in the thinner atmosphere. I wonder if it is realy a justifiable transport or if it is just a scam for Germans to unload technolgical investments on China (to get some of their money back). The TGV sounds like a much better system. Is maglev just exiting because its new or what could realy be its advantage???
