 Curious | Re: The launch loop I don't think Lofstrom has published the track levitation scheme that he favours, except the turnaround sections which is electronically controlled height control. There's also something similar going on in the track, but AFAIK it's not specified anywhere. I don't think he's proposing to use an Inductrack type system though- the resistance of iron is really too high and you would get poor lift. Anyway, by all means mail Lofstrom, but I warn you he's very busy indeed and will normally take ages, days, to get back to you. | |
