They use this same technology on the worlds fastest "subway" train. But instead of oil lines you'd still have wires, and it would have to run on a 12-volt system. It would be interesting to see what develops.

Yea, one of the cons they stated is that you'll need to use electricity and the bearings would have to be bigger in size
