What factors determine the cost of monorails or maglev vehicles?
the materials used
How fast do the Maglev vehicles go?
The go fast 250 km/h and more
Why isn't Maglev transportation offered in the US?
your dumb
What other ways could maglev be used as?
This cannot be answered in the way it was asked. Maglev refers to magnetic levitation trains. This is limited to passenger trains. There are many systems in use on a maglev train system, not simply magnetic levitation - the magnetic levitation is in use in other systems, such as manufacturing, and has even been examined as a part of launching space vehicles, but is not referred to as "maglev".
Where were maglev trains invented?
The Maglev train (also known as the Magnetic Levitation train) was invented in Germany, by a man named Alfred Zehden, in 1902.+++The Linear Motor which is used to propel the levitated trains, was invented in Britain, in the 1960s I think, but sadly not developed here.in japan The technology in use for the Japanese MagLev was invented by two US inventors and was sold to the Japanese when no US investors could be found to proceed with a full-scale maglev in the US. The American prototype maglev train they made was only 3 feet long. A German maglev, using a different technology, was invented and built at about the same time, with the German maglev in use prior to the Japanese maglev.
How are maglev trains powered?
Any electrical source.
Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
Are there any US manufactured BMW vehicles?
No what the heack were you thinking
Abbreviation for magnetic levitation?
"Maglev" is.
What happens to maglev trains when they encounter ice?
Maglev means magnetic levitation. So the train is not touching the track, in fact once the engines are fired up, the entire train lifts about one cm off the track. So ice is irrelevant to a maglev vehicle. Unlike conventional vehicles which use friction as a braking force, e.g., tires on a road, a maglev uses eddy currents produced in the track as a result of magnetic force as both propulsion and braking methods.
How do you people get on maglev trains?
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
How does magnetism keep the cars suspended on a maglev train?
Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.
