I think he's referring to inductrack:

Never really took off due to IP, which I believe recently expired
- jacquesm 3y agoNo, I'm referring to a circular arrangement, not a planar one, but the effects are much the same, think of it as a rolled up version of a Halbach array with coils connected across the opposing sides in such a way that bringing the coil closer to the side will increase the attractive force on the other side. It's a pretty clever arrangement, that requires no control electronics and has very low loss once it has centered itself.
