Levitation and superconductors

[Winston001]

This is pretty cool and not science fiction.

Sweet, now if they could just get superconductors that to work at room tempretures the world's energy crisis could become a thing of the past

There is work being done on warm superconductors but they are still damned cold -150 degrees?

The train setup could work if the nitrogen/hydrogen whatever could be contained in near-perfect insulation. Vacuum casing would be the go.

I was thinking more along the lines of all circuitry and power transmission lines to be replaced with super-conductors. I think maintining a vacuum around these might be a little difficult.
