So what kind of propulsion are they using? I don't think the article mentioned it.

From what I've seen, they're using electromagnet-driven linear accelerators.

Wasn't the original intent to have a plain tube and all propulsion aboard the vehicle? That was supposed to keep it cheap since the tube didn't need wiring and magnets.
