    Maglev Consequences      Magnetically levitated ground transportation, or "maglev," is an advanced mode of surface high speed transportation whereby a vehicle gliding above a guide track is suspended, guided, and propelled by magnetic forces. Because they never touch the guide track causing friction, maglev vehicles can be designed to travel at extremely high speeds, 500 kilometers per hour (300 miles per hour), or more!      Americans

    Are Maglev Trains a Better Alternative for Future Transportation? By Gloria Ravuri English 8-6th hour Mrs. Frye 24 March 2016 Gloria Ravuri Mrs. Frye English 8-6th hour 24 March 2016 Maglev means magnetic and levitation (Liu; Long; Li 1). “Maglev is the method of propulsion that uses magnetic levitation to propel vehicles with magnets rather than with wheel, axles, and bearings (Liu; Long; Li 1). They are levitated a short distance away from the guideway by using magnets to create

    throughout the following years, but it was not until the 1970’s that Japan and Germany showed interest in it and began researching and designing. The motion of the Maglev train is based purely on magnetism and magnetic fields. This magnetic field is produced by using high-powered electromagnets. By using magnetic fields, the Maglev train can be

    one of which was the MAGLEV TRAIN (Magnetic levitation train) which are on entirely different level as when compared to our traditional trains and on the other hand can been compared to aero planes in terms of speed. The recent development of maglev train has made them a strong contender for the future transportation and there is a lot of scope for development in this technology. The following term paper deals with working along with the advantages and disadvantages of maglev train. The train which

    efficient medium of transportation. Today scientists are still working hard to actually incorporate the use of Maglev trains into daily transportation and make Maglev technology a crucial form of transportation that has the potential to make competition for airways. If scientists can work together and gather up enough money the incorporation of superconductors to create maglev trains can lead to a transportation that will be more efficient and better for the environment due to its use of magnets

    Maglev train states the train is lifted above its tracts by electromagnetic force when operating. According to the study of Liu, Long and Li(2015), the general advantages of this brand-new technology over the conventional one, namely, the wheeled train, can be concluded into the following three items. First, due to the absence of the friction, it can run more smoothly and quietly. Secondly, there are less wear and tear happening during the operation, hence less maintenance and on-going cost is needed
