What type of train uses magnets?
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.
What countries do maglev trains come from?
Germany and Japan are both developing maglev train technology, and are both currently testing prototypes. Japan Railway Company has designed their train to go at 311mph and carry 16 carriages (1,000 commuters). Although Germany and Japan's trains are similar, they have very distinctive differences. The German train uses electromagnetic suspension (EMS) system, and the Japanese trains use an electrodynamics suspension (EDS) system. EMS uses standard electromagnets, in which the coils only conduct electricity when a power supply is present. The EDS chills the coils at frigid temperatures, saving energy. The system used to cool these coils can be expensive though.China is also involved with the construction of maglev trains. China is planning to build a vacuum-tube maglev train which is predicted to go 1,000 km/h. Putting the maglev train inside a vacuum tube will enable greater velocity due to decreased friction.Although these trains will enable faster travel, they will not be available for public use until 2045.Maglev trains are a type of high-speed train that runs on magnets supported by a magnetic field generated around the track. China, Japan, France, Germany, and Spain have maglevs.Not counting models and test projects; one. In Shanghai, China.
What type of energy makes a train move?
This depends on the type of train. There are diesel trains, electric trains. Electric trains are run by electricity through motors.
Is a lever in the train?
There are levers used on trains, but how many and what type will depend on what type of train and what types of cars on in the train. Steam trains used many more levers than typical trains today. This is because there are other mechanical, elctrical, and electronic devices to assist today.
What type of energy does a train turn mechanical?
Depends on the train type. Steam trains and diesel trains use chemical energy stored in their fuel (coal or diesel) to create mechanical energy. Electrical trains use, well, electricity.
Are trains faster than cars?
It all depends on what type of train, and what type of car.
What type of transportation is Maglev used for?
The idea of Maglev is used for large scale transportation of passengers via train. It currently holds the top speed record for railway transport, and they are unaffected by the weather.
What noise does a train make?
It depends on the type of train and if they are approaching a crossing. Electric trains are much quieter than diesel trains which are quieter than steam trains. Also freight trains and passenger trains sound different. It really does depend on many factors.
What type of fuel does trains run on?
The modern train runs on diesel fuel.
How heavy is a train?
That could depend on what type of train and the length of it. Most trains can be from 25 tons to 15,000 tons.
How fast does a train go?
The speed of a train will depend on a wide variety of factors from the type of train, age of train, how the train is being powered, what the train is hauling....etc.The fastest recorded speed to date was 575 km/h (357 mph) set by a French TGV train in February 2007.
What is the type of current in the maglev train ac or dc?
maglev train works on alternating current..The electric current supplied to the coils in the guideway walls is constantly alternating to change the polarity of the magnetized coils. This change in polarity causes the magnetic field in front of the train to pull the vehicle forward, while the magnetic field behind the train adds more forward thrust.
