Best Answer

This presumes you refer to a maglev train by saying magnetic train.

The propulsion of a maglev is essentially by linear induction propulsion. This is also in use on "people mover" systems. Braking is performed by the same systems that provide the propulsion, they simply operate to the reverse direction. For a maglev, there is also a settling system (such as wheels or skids) as it will also lose its lift. The settling system includes a form of brake as the speed decreases.

Are train wheels magnetic?

The wheels on a train are not magnetic. They are steel wheels and the use of steel helps to reduce friction and propel the train forward.


How do Transrapid Maglevs Slow and Stop?

Transrapid Maglevs slow down and stop using a combination of electromagnetic brakes and eddy-current brakes. Electromagnetic brakes work by applying a magnetic field to the track, which induces a current in the moving magnets of the train, creating a force that opposes the motion. Eddy-current brakes work by creating a magnetic field that interacts with the conducting track, generating eddy currents which create an opposite magnetic field that slows down the train. These braking systems work together to gradually slow down and bring the Transrapid Maglev to a stop.

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.
