I obviously can't carry around nuclear reactors, but we have some handy Acme TM Power Plants that can be miniaturized and provide ridiculous amounts of energy as needed. Presumably this will require lots of power.
As a result I'm just left figuring out if the necessary field strengths are even physically plausible. Acme assured me that servomechanics will do the job. The only other option I can think of is using servomechanics, aka active balancing via sensors and automatic computer adjustment. The lack of redundancy of such an arrangement made me wary, but further research has suggested that spin stabilization would not be an option at arbitrary points on the Earth's surface anyway, so I'm working on a new design. The initial plan involved one large, spin stabilized, superconducting electro-magnet in the center of a saucer-like vehicle. Presumably a superconducting electromagnet will be required to reach the necessary magnetic field strengths.
Of course the Earth's magnetic field is tiny, so the magnets in our vehicle need to be dialed up to 12. Acme had the brilliant 1 idea of ditching the track and simply using the Earth's magnetic field as the base that would repel his vehicle, allowing free-flight across the earth! As his head assistant, he has naturally left it to me do the easy part and work out the details, now that he did the hard part and came up with the idea. Maglev trains are fun, but who wants to be stuck on a track? Dr.
