her participants around that person. The 4 participants are told to concentrate, clear their minds and put both their hands together in a fist extending their index finger. There are two people underneath the persons arms and two people underneath the persons knee caps. Once they have concentrated enough, they pick up the person without any struggle at all. This whole activity relaxes and makes the people feel refreshed and very alive and healthy. The person being levitated gets a little out of it, because he is the one being levitated and doesnt have to do a thing! Maybe this concept of levitating objects can be used to our own advantage.Levitating trains could very well be the new form of transportation in the near future. Brandweek magazine says that the trains "have yet to be materialized" (Ebenkamp 19). Many countries have come up with test models and other gimmicks to simulate this. "Japan has made a test model that levitates a train car four inches off the road". However, no country has came up with anything of larger proportion to simulate the real thing. In a few years, it should be possible and should be done. This system is called "Maglev". Even the US is serious on this form of transportation. "Last summer our government authorized $1 billion to help build a Maglev line". It is expected to be in serious use in the year 2006, which isnt too far away considering how long it took to make ordinary cars. This not the first time that the US has tried to make a Maglev line. In 1968, the US government tried to fund enough money to make a line, but the funding never came through seven years later. It never came through until this decade. Now we are spending a lot more money on it. We are spending all this money on levitating trains, but how does it work?Levitating frogs opened the minds of a team of British and Dutch researchers and also scientists all over the world. In April of 1997, the researchers success...
