Arx Pax Hover Engines Rev up Transportation MarketLOS GATOS, Calif., Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Arx Pax, creator of Magnetic Field Architecture (MFA™) and the newly patented Hover Engine™, today announced that its technology will be available for use in new transportation systems. Though transportation is a new market for Arx Pax's technology, it is already being eagerly embraced by industry thought leaders and will be used to develop cutting-edge prototypes by participants in the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition. "It's an exciting time to be innovating in the transportation arena as our global community of makers and thinkers discover new and better ways to move people and cargo," said Greg Henderson, co-founder and CEO at Arx Pax. "Like the internet moves information today, we envision our Hover Engine systems to move physical objects in the same kind of fluid networks. While there are other ways to hover, nothing else can do what our systems can. MFA provides the safest, simplest, most feature rich, and cost-effective maglev technology in the world." Arx Pax is one of five companies chosen to showcase their technology during the Hyperloop Competition Design Weekend at Texas A&M University on January 29-30.

Arx Pax Hover Engines provide a multitude of benefits ad differentiation relative to previous maglev technologies. Specifically:
With respect to solving the "last mile challenge," vehicles designed using MFA— including train pods and personal transportation devices—can share infrastructure. That means not just getting efficiently from point A to B but then from B to your final destination. MFA finally makes levitating transport both affordable and practical, by providing a quantum leap in energy savings, reducing travel times and increasing convenience. About Arx Pax
