Rising force : the magic of magnetic levitation /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

From Peter Pan to Harry Potter, from David Copperfield to levitating toys, there is magic in conquering gravity. In this first-ever popular introduction to "maglev"--The use of magnetic forces to overcome gravity and friction--James D. Livingston takes lay readers on a journey of discovery...
