The simplest model (the only type that can be described without writing a book to explain how to do this) cannot function identically to a maglev, but will look like it does and can show the concept (suitable for a school science project). Construct the guideway and train of wood using the pictures of these that can be found on the internet. Use flat magnets (all exactly the same) with their opposing poles on either side of the flat for the lift. These must be spaced close together and glued to the guideway center and to the train center. They must be arranged so that the North-South poles on each are arranged so that either North and North or South and South will be next to each other when the train is placed on the guideway. Now, the train will float along the guideway. Propulsion of a true maglev cannot be duplicated in a simple model, but can be done by placing a small electric motor with a rubber tired drivewheel in the center of the train (where it won't be noticed). Hide the battery within the wooden train as well,and place a switch on the top of the train. Now be sure your guideway is long enough, it must have an area at least twice the length of the train at one end (both ends if you want to be able to go 2 directions) with no magnets installed - this is the "set-down" area. Ready to go now, but look at the bottom of the train - skids need to be placed on each side of the magnets so that when the train leaves travel area of the guideway it settles down on the skids and does not damage the magents on the bottom of the train.
The maglev train floats over its track using an electromagnet. Maglev trains have managed speeds in excess of 370mph. A model of the maglev train uses two permanent magnets to get the model to float over the track.Describe how the magnets must be arranged to get the model Maglev Train to float.
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.
no
The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).
It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.
it depend how you look at they came up with several similar thing that were not quit maglev train starting for the 1900's but the actual model started in 2001 and finish in 2005 so it about 4 years
Under current technology, no. A maglev train cannot handle the weight of freight that would make it efficient.
You must mean a Maglev train. A Maglev train operates on maglev (magnetic levitation). It uses electromagnets (and possibly superconductors) that repel each other to lift the train above the ground to reduce as much friction as possible.
Lots of electricity ... which takes power.
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
