Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?

maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.


Which trains do not have wheels?

Bullet train(dubai)These are known as MagLev trains. For Magnetic Levitation.


How can a train run without any friction between the rail and wheels?

By using the principle of magnetic levitation.


How are the magnetic levitation tracks built?

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.


When was the development of the maglev train started?

Here's the brief history of The Maglev Train. Maglev's Full Form is Magnetic Levitation. 1902- First magnetic train invented by Alfred Zehden of Germany. 1959-Design for first magnetic train made. 1979-First magnetic train built in Hamburg, Germany. (it was closed three months later) 1984-First magnetic train that people can ride built in Birmingham, England. (it was closed in 1995) More Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains were made and closed. 2004-First high-speed maglev train that people can ride on opened in Shanghai, China.


What does maglev stand for?

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).


What other ways could maglev be used as?

This cannot be answered in the way it was asked. Maglev refers to magnetic levitation trains. This is limited to passenger trains. There are many systems in use on a maglev train system, not simply magnetic levitation - the magnetic levitation is in use in other systems, such as manufacturing, and has even been examined as a part of launching space vehicles, but is not referred to as "maglev".


Why are maglevs used?

Magnetic levitation gives extremely low friction, hence, less energy is required to accelerate the train.


What train runs without wheels?

Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains run by way of a magnetic field generated by magnets embedded in the track. As such, they have little or no need for wheels.


What are the structure of a maglev train?

Magnetic levitation trainer do not run on rails but float above them. A current passes through The electromagnets in The track & on The train. The magnetism produced lifts The train upwards.
