They have the potential to be very fast,
but the fact that most are on short "tracks" limits them to slow speeds.
no
It goes faster than that of a regular train.
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
So it is quicker to get around. Oh and if you think a bullet train is fast look up the maglev train!
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.
Shangai's new Maglev had a speed of up to 500 kph in test runs.
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
