	To levitate SOME trains.
	Small ones
	  Experimental only.

	That's nice.
	Magnetic forces, (attractive and repulsive) are used
	for hugely more purposes, of a practical nature
	than electrostatic repulsion (or attraction).

	I suggest:  exactly.

	1) That is magnetic forces.
	2) I suggest one 'stunt' application is a deal
	different than running all the motors in the world
	and all the transformers in the world.  Which run on
	magnetic forces.

> No amount of magnetic force can do that.

	The usual quarter crusher is magnetic.
	(hint:  Objects need not be magnetic to be affected by
	magnetic forces.)

	IF they were cured.
	And single events are sometimes not resolvable.
