My Interpretation Of The Arrangement
        Of The Inductrac Train
Fields
As the train starts to move it's magnetic field sweeps through the conductor track and develops a small Dynamic Gravitational Field emanating from the track. This is enough to raise the train off it's wheels. With friction now reduced the speed will increase, and the DGF will increase in magnitude until it reaches a point of balance between  the mass of the train, the rate of travel past the coils, and the train's magnetic field penetration depth into the conductors as it rises further .

My Machine is somewhat different, in that the coils and magnets are in a fixed relationship with each other, and any acceleration would continue indefinitely. The Inductrac starts to accelerate vertically at a very low speed of about 2MPH. The fields in my machine and our planet, would be almost identical.

The Inductrac Train uses what some call Electro Dynamic Suspension. It is widely held that this is magnetic repulsion at work. One of the main reasons for my disbelief in this is quite simple. The Eddy Currents in the conductors create the opposing magnetic fields, and this field must at least equal the strength of the trains permanent magnet fields. It seems obvious that these opposing fields must meet in the air gap, preventing the train's field from reaching the conductor.  Electro Dynamic Suspension does indeed work, despite this difficulty.
