In the case of the maglev (magnetic levitation), the train has large electromagnets in its drive section, and the track has large electromagnets along the trackway. The electromagnets in the train are energized, and the ones in the trackway below the train are energized, and this both lifts and propels (and stops) the train. The magnets in the trackway are energized along the path of the train so no energy is being used in the trackway electromagnets except the ones right below and directly in front of the train.

∙ 16y agoim not sure but i think magnets of some sort
Magnetic levitation trains use superconducting magnets or electrodynamic suspension magnets to levitate and propel the train. These magnets create a magnetic field that repels the train from the tracks, allowing it to hover above the rails and move smoothly at high speeds.
Yes, the Japanese system uses magnets that attract, then repell the train.EDS - ElectroDynamic Suspension (Japan) - "pull, neutral, push" system. Superconducting magnets in the train are pulled forward by track magnets. When the train is over the track magnet the track switches to neutral, then to the opposite polarity. So the magnet behind the train then pushes it forward.
With magnets
The maglev train floats over its track using an electromagnet. Maglev trains have managed speeds in excess of 370mph. A model of the maglev train uses two permanent magnets to get the model to float over the track.Describe how the magnets must be arranged to get the model Maglev Train to float.
it uses magnets
Bullet train, developed in Japan.
Magnetic levitation tracks are built by installing a series of electro magnets along a track. Power is the fed to the magnets which allow the train to ride above the rails and move along at great speeds.
only some tracks of special categories have magnets which is rare
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.
yes the magnvy train does and i think the bullet train does to.
Magnets attract or repel (opposite poles attract: like poles repel), and electro-magnets can be turned on and off, or have their poles reversed, in an instant. So magnets are used instead of engines in a maglev train.There are two kinds of Maglev systems:EMS - ElectroMagnetic Suspension (Germany and China) - "pull" system. Magnets in the train are pulled forward by magnets in the track which are turned on just before the train arrives, and turned off as soon as the train is on top of them.EDS - ElectroDynamic Suspension (Japan) - "pull, neutral, push" system. Superconducting magnets in the train are pulled forward by track magnets. When the train is over the track magnet the track switches to neutral, then to the opposite polarity. So the magnet behind the train then pushes it forward.by massive magnets !
