I will gladly sponsor an initiative to turn that yellow and red thing (train? hovercraft? land-boat?) into an actual transportational device that I can ride in to school every day.
That's an early prototype of a magnetic levitation train (http://www.o-keating.com/hsr/maglev.htm). My hometown of Berlin will open a maglev line to Hamburg next year!
Oh, actually it seems the Berlin Hamburg maglev line has been cancelled (http://www.maglev.com/en/index.html). Only Shanghai seems to have an operational maglev line at the moment.
