So try this little experiment:
1. Find a weight scale (I used an old postal scale)
2. Find 2 magnets. (I used Kadee uncoupling magnets)
3. Put one magnet on the scale. (I taped mine to scale to keep it from flipping over)
4. Note the weight of the magnet on the scale.
5. Move the second magnet towards the magnet on the scale so that they repel each other.
6. Note the weight on the scale.
7. The difference is the weight that must be supported by the maglev structures.
I'm not an engineer and this a fourth grade experiment, but it seems to prove the point that antigravity is not here yet.
