Magnetically Levitated Train

Introduction

The transport of levitation magnetic, or maglev, is a transportation system that includes the suspension, guidance and propulsion of vehicles, especially trains, using a large number of magnets for lift and propulsion based on magnetic levitation.

This method has the advantage of being faster, quieter and smoother than the systems of public transport on wheels conventional. Maglev technology has the potential to exceed 6,400 km/hr (4,000 mph) if done in a tunnel into vacuum (Bonsor, pp. 28). When using a vacuum tunnel, the energy required for levitation is usually not make a big part of the necessary, since most ...
