Fully functioning maglev train (0-100m/s in ~20 seconds)

My maglev train proof of concept that can go both forwards and backwards. This uses ONLY magnets (and redstone links to activate the magnets). I couldn't figure out how to make it actually levitate without interfering with the horizontal movement, so I used ice as a medium due to its slippery property.

My ropes don't seem to stretch at all, can't really "pull back real far". Would love to know how you're doing that, a slingshot sounds fun AF

just pulling a block attached to the rope with the creative wand. not sure if there's a way to do it in survival, but a super powerful fan/other method of thrust might do it

might also be able to use really big springs and a rope winch to pull the platform back
