@angusdav I've seen maglev in action at Magnemotion. One of their prototypes is a 12 ton machine that floats with zero noise. 8:08 AM Dec 4th, 2011 via web in reply to angusdav
@fromedome True, one of the reasons I sold @mint when I did was to pursue Swift. I plan to do things outside Internet/mobile for a while 7:58 AM Dec 4th, 2011 via web in reply to fromedome
Started a company "Swift" to replace cars with lightweight maglev. See my results on whether its viable: bit.ly/shjQo2 7:18 AM Dec 4th, 2011 via web
@azodi I'm in the Northeast right now (Providence), so NH is a possibility. What's the civil engineering firm? 7:28 AM Nov 11th, 2011 via web in reply to azodi
@PeterVOrtho I am the technical co-founder! At least from the EE/Comp Sci realm. I could use mech eng and civil eng co-founders. 7:28 AM Nov 11th, 2011 via web in reply to PeterVOrtho
@mattbarto Ideally, yes, they would be a professional engineer. They need to have practical building experience first and foremost. 6:13 PM Nov 10th, 2011 via web in reply to mattbarto
@nickcronin I'll give ExpertBids.com a shot. Having spent all my career in EE and Comp Sci, I have no civil engineering contacts 5:41 PM Nov 10th, 2011 via web in reply to nickcronin
@uttiyo @loh Need someone who knows: beam deflection, temperature effects, tradeoffs between stiffness / weight / cost. Maybe an architect 5:38 PM Nov 10th, 2011 via web in reply to uttiyo
@poornima Good recommendation! I forgot that Dr. G is EE + Civil Engineering, and the only professor with that combination ever. 5:36 PM Nov 10th, 2011 via web in reply to poornima
Anyone recommend an expert in civil engineering: beam deflection, temperature effects, elasticity, seismic considerations, and cost? 5:18 PM Nov 10th, 2011 via web
Started a new company to design maglev systems 5x faster than cars, but as cheap as roads. Could use some civil engineering help. 5:17 PM Nov 10th, 2011 via web
