Best Answer

Yes, bullet trains have wheels. They run on rails, just as conventional railroad locomotives and cars do. The trains that operate by magnetic levitation, the so-called MagLev trains, do not have wheels as they ride on a magnetic cushion.

Do railway tracks get magnetised when trains run on tracks?

No, however some trains have a magnetized wheel to help grip the track. *Added - Electric trains do result in short term magnetizing of the train tracks. This can be seen on sharp curves where tiny rail slivers cling along in a magnetic pattern. In the US, trains do not have magnetized wheels, but rapid trainsit systems can include a track brake that uses a magnet to provide much faster braking than the wheels alone.


Can friction produced by wheels of moving train generate electricity?

yes we can produce electricity by fixing dynamo in traction wheels so heat is produced when the friction of train wheel & track so the dynamo generates an power D.C SUPPLY and is converts into Ac supply so we can use that energy for electric trains use of lights and fans....
