    Maglev train

    Of course maglev trains use superconductors! Main problem is cost, as laying out many miles of solenoid tracks as well as creating an entirely new infrastructure would cost a lot of money. Currently, a maglev system is currently being used in Shanghai, but other countries such as Japan are...

    2015ers Chit-Chat Thread

    If the option was still available, would anyone take the course? It doesn't count for the minimum 10 units required for the HSC, so i'm assuming that all participants do the course out of sheer interest or perhaps they are naturally good at those subjects
