maglevs arent using fuckin superconducters to levitate, it's basic magnetic repulsion. Get whatever fictional version you've got in your head cleared up.
Both of you guys are correct, because there are two types of maglev trains; the Japanese tech (Shinkansen) and the German design (trans rapid).
I didn't even know Germany designed maglev train tech, usually when these trains are mentioned it's related to Japan or China. Interesting
The Chinese maglev IS the German Transrapid. The Chinese donβt have the mental horsepower too design this kind of stuff
