I am doing a science project about about maglevs and I nee a primary source (first-hand source i.e. interview) can anyone answer these questions? Are maglevs cost efficient? How do they work? Are there any currently in use in the world? How did you learn about maglevs?

While I have no experience with maglevs, I might be able to help you.

First, have you done your basic research? Have you learned how they work and where in the world they are being used?

If you know where they are being used, you could contact one of those users directly to get your "first-hand source interview".

Good luck.
