The Transrapid.
"magnetic" "levitation" A cute way to make trains float - thus reducing rolling friction, but NOT air friction.
It doesn't ... maglevs are a political boondoggle.
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
well there safer and more fuel effeciant and have less drag and friction
"Maglev" is.
A small, three car maglev train weighs more or less 100 tons, so they are relatively light trains.
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.
Patents for Maglev trains were issued as early as 1905, But the first person to demonstrated a prototype of a magnetic levitating railway car was Emile Bachelet, of Mount Vernon, N. Y. in 1913.
It cannot. The magnets used for a maglev train must be engineered and built at very tight tolerances to allow a maglev train to function. Each magnet is specifically built for the maglev train, they cannot be "strengthened" versions of a magnet not made specifically for the train.
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
