Ground-Effect Robot Could Be Key To Future High-Speed Trains

Japanese prototype of a train that levitates on cushions of air. High speed trains are huge in Asia, but barring a catastrophe, most of them are designed to stay firmly on the ground, running on rails. There are plenty of good reasons not to run on rails, though, one of which is that you can go much faster without all that friction. This is the idea behind maglev trains, but there’s still a lot of
