This video, which was shot on the Rokko Liner in Kobe, Japan, shows paper clips standing on end when the train accelerates and brakes. The magnetism, which is produced by the electric current that drives the motors located under the floor of the train, apparently poses no harm to the human body, though it could damage credit cards, mobile phones, or other electronic devices if they are left on the train floor. The Kobe New Transit Company, which operates the Rokko Liner (as well as the Port Liner, which uses similar trains), says extra shielding is being installed just in case.
