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.
10 (Xinhua) -- A maglev vehicle technology test saw a 2.8-tonne car float 35 millimeters above the road and run on a highway in east China's Jiangsu Province. Developed by the Chengdu-based Southwest Jiaotong University, the car was modified from a traditional vehicle.
