Does it make a difference which way the magnets are placed on the maglev train?
Yes. The "magnets" are not conventional magnets, like the ones you may use at home, on a maglev train. Their position and control of them is extremely critical for train operation so these are engineered to only be installed and function in one way.
Can maglev trains be used as freight movers?
Under current technology, no. A maglev train cannot handle the weight of freight that would make it efficient.
Why didn't they complete a maglev train in the UScities?
It's all to do with magnetic repulsion - when the train is moving, the two magnets have the same pole, and so repel each other, creating a "cushion". It's a bit like the principle of two bar magnets in school, matching north pole to north pole.
How does the train work?
Magnets can either attract or repell other magnets, depending upon whether opposite poles (north vs. south) or same pole (north-north or south-south) are facing each other. So, by arranging magnets in a certain way, a train can be made to float above the track on repelling magnetic fields. This lets it move with every little friction (there is still air resistance).A:A maglev train moves by using a set of magnets that repel each other and two coils attached to an electric strip that propel it. For example, you would put a N magnet on the bottom of the train, a S magnet on the bottom, and two coils of copper wire on either side of the train coming into contact with metal retainers on either side given an electric current.Magnetism in elementary science states that like poles repel and opposites attract. When two magnets of the same poles are brought towards each other, a repulsion force can be felt and likewise a pair of the same poles will attract. Maglev trains use these basic principles to force the train upwards above the track surface. The simple way of visualizing this is to imagine the train repelling away from the track surface.

Supercooling superconducting materials enhances their magnetic properties. The Ideal MagLev Train harnesses materials that retain superconducting properties at near average temperatures.The repulsion of like magnetic poles cause it to "float",The attraction of opposing poles is used to make it move.You may recall that magnets can either attract or repell other magnets, depending upon whether opposite poles (north vs. south) or same pole (north-north or south-south) are facing each other.

So they have the ability to float in the air .The repulsion of like magnetic poles cause it to "float",The attraction of opposing poles is used to make it move.
What powers a maglev Train?
Usually a old fashioned locamotive is powered by a Steam/Coal Engine/furnace, but latest trains are powered by Diesil-Electric Engines, which changes the diesil power in the engine to electric and sends this energy to the wheels, consequently, making the wheels move.
Why does the maglev train not make rattling sound?
As its name suggests, it floats (or levitates) above the ground. Additionally, it has no traditional "rails" to make clacking sounds with.
How do you make maglev train model?
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.
Why is a magnetic levitation train faster than a normal train?
A Magnetic Levitation or MagLev train can travel at a higher rate of speed than a normal train because the train does not make contact with solid material. It is suspended above the guideway by magnetic repulsion and only has the friction of air and inertia as a resistance to movement. The speed of the train is regulated by the frequency of the power applied to the magnets of the linear motor composed of the electromagnets on the train and in the guideway.
What is the impact of the maglev train on the environment?
It only takes about 5 meters wide to make tracks and it is very compact so it doesn't affect the environment much.
How you make electromagnetic train?
: How to make a model electromagnetic train ? : What I'am telling is not exactly an train but a car which moves along the track and the principle used by it is not like the principle used by maglev but you can make a train as well by using the same principle. : First you need some electromagnets ,a simple and powerful magnet ,a toy car in which the magnet can be placed . : Now ,first you need to make a track with help of a cardboard .Now make a track identical to the track you made before and place electromagnets ibetween the tracek and fix them .You will now need two switches ,connect each swith with a battry and magnets in such a way that on turning on the switch alternate magnets will start working .Put the car on the track and fit a simple magnet in it . : Turn on one of the switch ,the car will move now turn off the switch and switch on the other ,the car will move forward and repeat the process and the car will move along the track . : You can also make this model by using only one switch ,think on it ,it's easy .
What do you do when you have a red Gyarados?
You train it and fight with it and make it strong!
How far can a bullet train go without running out of fuel?
They don't actually have fuel, they have magnets. The track has powered electromagnets in it. The electromagnets make the train "hover" and propel it.
