ABSTRACT: As the world continues to grow and as cities continue to become more crowded and congested, our normal modes of transportation will not be able to handle these overpopulated areas. The answer to this transportation problem lies in the world of electro magnetism and superconducting magnets. Electromagnets and superconducting magnets have allowed us to create a magnetic levitating train nicknamed “MAGLEV” that floats on the track instead of being directly on it. This has a lot of potential to create trains that are super fast with low maintenance requirements. China is the first country in the world to commercially use MagLevs, and has already helped ease the congestion on the six lane highway leading from the Pudong Shanghai International Airport to Shanghai Lujiazui financial district. This new technology has already helped China in a short period of time and can certainly help other cities around the world that are just as congested as Shanghai.
Ion thrusters have proven to be an appropriate and efficient alternative to standard propulsion systems. With very low demand on fuel thanks to very high specific impulse generation, ion thrusters can easily compete with chemical propulsion systems, the produced thrust is far lower. The system is often used
for various mission demands like orbiting station keeping for geostationary satellites, orbit and attitude controlling and multi-goal missions.

Keywords: Magnetic Levitation, Ionic Propulsion, Thrusters, Magnets.
