What kind of fuel does a maglev train use?
MAGNETS!
Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
What kind of friction that maglev train still has to overcome?
Air resistance.
Can a train hover?
Yes, a train can hover. This kind of train is called a Maglev or a Hover Train. They can be found either in Japan or Germany. They hover by magnets.
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.
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.
Does Italy have Maglev train?
no
What controls the levitation of the cars of a Maglev train?
The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).
How does balance effect the maglev train?
It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.
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.
How do you people get on maglev trains?
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
What is the weight of the maglev train?
