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.
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.By arranging magnets in a certain way, a train can be made to float on repelling magnetic fields. This enables it to move with every little friction (there is still air resistance).

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.

Maglev trains work because they have magnets below the train and their railways have magnets , some magnets in the railway attract the magnets of the train and some repel. So they have the ability to float in the air .

The only place the magnets on a maglev train could be to perform their designed function would be on the very bottom, spread in a line running fore to aft. A second bank of magnets would be in place of the typical rail lines underneath the train, with similar poles of the two groups of magnets facing each other.
It uses a linear electric motor where the track is the stator and the train is the "rotor" (more correctly the slider as the train slides not rotates). Magnetic fields in the track and train both lift and move the train.
the power is in the rails causes strong electromagnets to change polarity opposite the magnets on the train. their mutual repulsion keeps the train from contacting the rails
It doesn't have an engine but uses high speed magnetic propulsion.

maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
MagLev trains were first designed by a German man named Hermann Kemper. he was the first man to design and patent a MagLev train. The first MagLev train to be built and used was designed by Thyssen Henschel, another German, in the 1970's. The first passenger-carrying MagLev train was introduced in 1979 at the International Transportation Exposition in Hamburg, Germany. Thus began the MagLev train.
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.
The Transrapid.
The Chinese city of Shanghai is reported to have a Maglev train in commercial use. The Japanese and Germans are working on Maglevs so are the USA.
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
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.
Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.
no
The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).
It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.
You must mean a Maglev train. A Maglev train operates on maglev (magnetic levitation). It uses electromagnets (and possibly superconductors) that repel each other to lift the train above the ground to reduce as much friction as possible.
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train

The maglev train was first invented in 1902 . It was invented by a guy named Alfred Zehan.
The biggest difference is that a maglev train is not touching anything while it is traveling, while a normal train is sitting on steel rails at all times.
