Hi,

In case you missed it at the diner, or didn't make it to BW '03, (or a
BayLTC pizza meeting) Ross showed the prototype Maglev vehicle and short
"track" that he and I built. Eric Sophie was kind enough to snap and post a
pic of it. Its at:

Note the irregular spacing of the SNOT magnets on the vehicle. This was
definitely the hardest part to get it to work. We started with a
"3-rail" system in a "U" shape and a vehicle without a "spine" but couldn't
get it to work at all. Now all it needs is propulsion!

Very cool!  I was just starting prototyping for a maglev project
myself!  Now if only Lego will sell bulk magnets...
