Maglev Trains

For proper development of bones and muscles, children need to spend at least 3 hours per day at 1.1g. To provide for the children’s proper development in the space settlement, we created the Taggart Youth Center, named after the Taggart Transcontinental Railroad from Ayn Rand’s novel, Atlas Shrugged. The Taggart Youth Center is a train-like system that rotates around on the inside of the large part of the torus. This system works like a train with the “cars” containing the schooling and recreational activities and the “tracks” running around the inside edge of the torus. The “tracks” are active magnetic bearings powered by a permanent magnet motor, a type of bearing that supports a load through magnetic levitation. This technology rotates with

The wheels under the sides of the train has the force to make it move faster on the tracks.

For example, if the tracks slope down, then the gravity pulls down front of the coaster toward the ground so it can accelerate. On the other hand, if the tracks tilt up, gravity applies a downward force on the back of the coaster causing it to decelerate (Tom Harris). Due to Newton’s first law of motion, an object in motion stays in motion…, the roller coaster will maintain a forward velocity even when it goes up the tracks. It’s kinetic energy changes back to potential energy when the roller coaster approaches one of the smaller hills that follows the initial lift

"It happens almost like magic," one scientist said. Q. Does low-speed Maglev have advantages over light rail or a rubber-tire "people mover" system? A. Supporters cite lower capital costs, lower operating costs, tight turning capabilities, virtually no noise pollution, smooth rides because levitated vehicles create no friction, less intrusion on land and an opportunity to showcase the city and establish it as world leader of transit technology.

High-speed rail is generally defined as trains capable of travelling at least 150 miles per hour. When the California High-speed Rail is completed, travelers can get on a train at the Transbay Transit Terminal in San Francisco and arrive at the Union Station in Los Angeles in two hours and forty minutes. The newly constructed high-speed rail in California is going to operate at over 200 miles per hour on average over the entire 800-mile system from San Diego in the south to Sacramento in the north. Before this, the only rail service that approaches high-speed standards in the U.S. is Amtrak’s Metroliner service between New York City and Washington D.C., which runs at 125 miles per hour [9]. The project of the high-speed

For this reason, this is where your ride begins. In the station you will find lots of helpful workers and lots of buttons to get the ride going. All of this help comes from technology in the world. Accordingly, technology is the main key when dealing with roller coasters because without it, how would the car move? For example, it would be a pretty slow and weird ride if 20 workers were pushing the roller coaster the entire ride! Thanks to technology, we can have much more fun. Not only technology gets the ride moving, but a force can help greatly too. Throughout the ride, you may notice that the car and tracks are touching. When it starts to move, the car rubs against the tracks and this creates lots of amounts of friction. For example, when the car begins to take off out of the station, this causes friction to be made as the affect. The car also can be identified by measuring in mass because this is where people will be sitting. As you can tell, it will be a lot of weight. As the ride begins to move out of the station, it goes at an approximate speed of 10 miles per hour. Although it looks like you will be heading straight towards the erupting lava in the volcano, you will actually be going under

Resources: because the magnet connecting the joints of the railroad track would be small, it must be designed and labeled safe for young children who might swallow the piece. Since the magnet would be attached to a specific type of railroad track, it must be replacable in case children wear the magnet due to possible harsh usage. If there were to be any marks or damage to the magnet, it could be replaced with the purchase of another piece. This new magnet would then be able to be inserted between the joints of the railroad track and function the same as the original

One new technology that has affected people’s lives is the electric train .Electric trains have help us to get to our destination faster and more efficiently than any normal wasteful train.

The hyperloop machine is a new source of transit that can speed up to near 800 mph is powered by the use forces much like an air hockey table just like how the puck floats above

streetcars. Horse cars, as they were known, traveled on rails, which gave a much smoother ride

Musk is committing to build a high-speed network of tunnels to accommodate the Hyperloop supersonic transport system. One suck tunnel would connect New York and Washington DC. By car, that's a 4 hours drive without factoring in heavy traffic. With that Hyperloop, you could be there in less than a half an hour.

In the new attraction, The GG Force, you will be experiencing g forces like no other! From high hills, loops, and plenty of more! The GG Force is a duel-tracked roller coaster where one train (a set of 2 or a greater amount of carts connected by joints to transport people around a coaster’s circuit) races the other. First, the two trains get launched at the same time by the cable pulling them up the hills. Then, they race each other to the conclusion of the ride. Finally, which ever train wins, all of the passengers on that train win a pocket-sized keychain that’s shaped like the winning train they were on. Each train has its own name so when you get on the ride it’ll be one train versus the other. The name of the train that goes on the highest hill is furious and the train that goes on the short hill is forceful. The total ride time is 1 minute 20 seconds and there is 50 rides every hour. Each cart holds 3 people and there is a total of 7 carts per train. Two trains advance at the same to so there is a total of 42 carts going around every minute and 20 seconds. A

There are many different kinds of trains with different speeds and different purposes that we need in order to live our daily lives nowadays. There is a video on “Youtube” that list the most common trains. There is the subway, streetcar, commuter train, inter city train, high speed train, maglev, monorail, cable car, locomotive, freighttrain, and the hand car. All of theses trains are different in what their purpose is and what they do. Some of the trains transport people while other trains transport objects like food, wood and vehicles. All of these trains are different in sizes and speed. We don’t use trains as much as we use to but we still do use trains everyday. Trains are dangerous and we do not always remember that they are dangerous and will kill

Maglevs are safer than our modern transportation methods, such as airplanes and highways vehicles. Comparing it to the conventional trains, the elevated tracks remove the risk of collision with automobiles and other vehicles. The speed and distance between Maglev vehicles on a guide way are all automatically controlled and maintained by the frequency of the electric power fed to the guide

I chose this textbook because I wanted to find some information for some homework we were set. I had to understand why Maglev Trains were useful and about their role that they could play in the future, not only that but in class we were told a little about them and I was extremely intrigued when I was informed about these special type of trains.
