Researchers at Old Dominion University in Norfolk (VA) will begin testing a magnetic levitation vehicle later this year in partnership with MagneMotion, Inc. In addition, ODU faculty and students are working to develop an alternative prototype, which uses a different propulsion system. “We’ve positioned ourselves as a center for maglev research,” said Thomas E. Alberts, leader of ODU’s maglev research team. “A project like this brings funds to the university, which keeps our maglev operation healthy. It also allows us to build on the knowledge that we’ve acquired here at ODU.” Link to full story in The Virginian-Pilot.
