so you want a car like that?

It would be cool, and maybe more within our reach than trying to build thousands of maglev roads across the world.

Here's an example of what I was thinking of, but more for a car (I couldn't get a picture of Go Go's bike from Big Hero 6).

yup.

you want the heavy stuff not rotating.

By which I assume you mean heavy axles instead of rotating ones.

So the wheels would have to be thinner and the axel thicker?

Unsure why even bother with wheels if you are going to magnetically levitate the bike.

 

Sounds like the Mag levitating trains that already ride on a magnetic field.

 

Two types of mag lev trains exist. A kind that rides on a cushion of the same polarity (push), and one that is lifted upwards by opposite polarities (pull).

 

By adjusting magnetic angles they can arrive at incredible speeds.

Because for civilian vehicles magnetic levitation would need a corresponding field generated by a maglev road, but not if the wheels were magnetically suspended around the axles. This would reduce the problem of axel damage by hazards, a smoother ride, and faster acceleration.

if your magnetic bearings are strong enough to suspend the wheel around the axle, then yes to a degree.

however, the biggest speed killer for a bike is the drag coefficient.

the question is whether or not you can keep down your rotational mass.

How would they keep down the rotational mass?

What could be done to eliminate the drag coefficient?

I recently saw Big Hero 6 in theatres.

One of the main heroes, Go Go Tomago, is working on a faster bicycle by using wheels suspended electromagnetically.

Would such technology work in real life? I've seen it done before, but only in works of fiction.

Science cat.

WARNING! Penis jokes.

Didn't see that coming.

No, I mean, is the German girl the paler one?

I don't get it.
