What factors determine the cost of monorails or maglev vehicles?
the materials used
What are the top speed of maglev trains?
Maglev trains have the technology to reach speeds in excess of 3,000 mph but any speed in excess of 300-400mph becomes impractical. The top speed depends more on how and where the maglev is built, how far apart stations are, and how much maintenance cost is considered acceptable. So, for the trains proposed so far today and may be in service in the next 20 years, it maglev trains will not exceed 400mph.
Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
Abbreviation for magnetic levitation?
"Maglev" is.
What is electromagnet train?
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.
Is the maglev train coming to the United Kingdom?
Not in the immediate future, it isn't. The cost of the track would be prohibitive.
How do you people get on maglev trains?
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
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 magnetism keep the cars suspended on a maglev train?
Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.
Can maglev train built underground?
Yes, maglev trains can be built underground. In fact, the majority of the Chuo Shinkansen maglev line being built in Japan will be underground.
Who invented MAGLEV?
Earnshaw from Cambridge University , he is the first man who posted the principle of maglev. But Hermann Kemper, a German engineer, is the first man who is proposed as the farther of maglev.
What type of train uses 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.
