A track element of a non-contact bearing extending in a length direction. The track element includes a conductive material strip having a facing surface with a height and width and a rear surface opposite the facing surfaces. The conductive material strip includes a slit extending in a height direction to form a first leg and a second leg, in which the first leg is bent in a zig-zag shape and the second leg is bent in a zig-zag shape that is complementary to the bending of the first leg. When the conductive material strip is viewed in a direction parallel to the facing surface, the first leg and the second leg cross each other at least once.

A continuous serpentine concrete beamway forming system and method for creating a hollow continuous serpentine concrete beamway are disclosed. The continuous serpentine concrete beamway forming system and method utilizes a flexible form material that has the ability to conform to curves, angles, and slopes of a target beamway system as intended. The flexible form material is used to form an armature that embodies a precise pathway of the target beamway system. The armature is contiguous throughout a plurality of connected beamway segments that collectively make up the target beamway system and that are precisely aligned to conform to the curves, angles, and slopes of the target beamway system. A part of the armature creates grooves on the surfaces of the connected beamway segments. The grooves are subsequently used to guide machinery that grinds the running surfaces to precise tolerances. Precise alignment is achieved as a result of the grooves being formed in a continuous fashion, thereby allowing the grinding machines to cross from one beamway segment to the next.

A hybrid electrodynamic levitation system that utilizes both superconducting and conductive tracks. The hybrid system reduces the overall drag induced upon the system and reduces the amount of power required to achieve operating speeds, while resolving the issue of requiring velocity relative to the track for levitation. The total initial and operating costs of the hybrid system can be lower than utilizing a superconductive or conductive track alone, while still enabling a fail-safe levitation system for high speed transportation.
