Maglev technologies are used in trains, but automotive applications would require huge investments in infrastructure

A floating car propelled by magnets that can travel up to 230 kilometres per hour is being tested in China.

Chinese researchers performed road tests for modified passenger cars that use magnets to float 35 millimeters above a conductor rail, says a state news agency.

According to a media report, Chinese researchers from Southwest Jiaotong University are testing maglev vehicle technology, which allows cars to hover over the roads and reach incredibly high speeds.In a recent test conducted by the researchers, a modified 2.

HTS technology allows the train to float without the use of electricity and move so easily a person can push it with their hand.
