Maglev stands for Magnetic Levitation (primarily used in trains) it refers to how they use the repulsion of electromagets to "fly" from 1cm - 10cm above an electromagnetic track (guideway) the applications are mainly for highspeed transport because as there is no friction, these trains have a record speed of 518km/h (311mph).

Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
The letters LSM stand for what when talking about how maglev train is propelled?
less than 2 percent
When were maglev trains first being used?
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.
What is maglev?
"magnetic" "levitation" A cute way to make trains float - thus reducing rolling friction, but NOT air friction.
What is the force that lifts up and moves maglev trains?
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.
1 What does Maglev stand for?
Magnetic levitation.
What does the term Maglev stand for?
"Maglev" stands for "Magnetic Levitation". It is a method of powerful magnets to levitate a train on tracks and allow its high-speed movement upon them.
The letters LSM stand for what when talking about how a Maglev train is propelled?
Linear Synchronous Motor
What does EDS stand for when discussing maglev train?
It stands for ElectroDynamic Suspension.
Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
The letters LSM stand for what when talking about how maglev train is propelled?

Abbreviation for magnetic levitation?
"Maglev" is.
How do you people get on maglev trains?
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
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.
