Magnetic cooling enables perpetual motion like drive
The Ford design describes cooling magnets to near absolute zero about 456 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. At this temperature electrical resistance drops to nearly zero. An electric current, once started, continues indefinitely even after the power source is removed. Less energy is needed to keep the vehicle floating when magnets are supercooled.
