I couldn't see any curves, they just looked like flat neos lying on top
of each other but slid back about 1"...maybe Bob will let us do some
stills to try to get some detail...don't want to impact their news or
press release if they are going through with it down in Mexico City..but
what could it hurt??
I couldn't see much detail...it looked like one half was magnets, the
other half was weighted to match the combined magnet weight....then the
magnetic thrust fields in combination with inertia keeps it moving...
