I've never even heard of this effect before. The "locking" effect is really amazing. The engineer in me is seeing this as the ultimate "maglev" train solution, if the cost barriers can be overcome. No need for guide-rails or curved-up sides to the "track", nothing but a flat track surface itself.
Super cool.
