Best Answer

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.

it uses magnets


How magnet used in transportation?

Magnetic levitation uses magnets system through what is called Maglev transportation. This system transportation uses the magnets to lift a train without using wheels also method is quieter, smoother and faster when transporting a train.


How does a bullet train get its power?

A bullet train gets it's power from extremely powerful magnets. The magnets are on the sides of the track, and train.


What machines use magnets?

Every machine with a motor has a magnet. If you plug it in, it has a magnet. If you put in batteries or recharge it, it has a magnet. An automatic pencil sharpener uses magnets. A computer printer uses magnets. A refrigerator motor uses magnets. An electric razor uses magnets. A fan uses magnets. Hair cutters use magnets. Nose clippers use magnets. Look around your room and see what else uses a motor.


Are there maglev trains that use repulsion to move?

Yes, the Japanese system uses magnets that attract, then repell the train.EDS - ElectroDynamic Suspension (Japan) - "pull, neutral, push" system. Superconducting magnets in the train are pulled forward by track magnets. When the train is over the track magnet the track switches to neutral, then to the opposite polarity. So the magnet behind the train then pushes it forward.


How do they power a magnet train?

With magnets

What is the name of a train that is powered by opposing magnets?

Bullet train, developed in Japan.


Do the bullet train tracks have magnets in them?

only some tracks of special categories have magnets which is rare


Does it make a difference which way the magnets are placed on the maglev train?

Yes. The "magnets" are not conventional magnets, like the ones you may use at home, on a maglev train. Their position and control of them is extremely critical for train operation so these are engineered to only be installed and function in one way.


Do Japanese trains use magnets?

yes the magnvy train does and i think the bullet train does to.


How does a maglev train move forward?

Magnets attract or repel (opposite poles attract: like poles repel), and electro-magnets can be turned on and off, or have their poles reversed, in an instant. So magnets are used instead of engines in a maglev train.There are two kinds of Maglev systems:EMS - ElectroMagnetic Suspension (Germany and China) - "pull" system. Magnets in the train are pulled forward by magnets in the track which are turned on just before the train arrives, and turned off as soon as the train is on top of them.EDS - ElectroDynamic Suspension (Japan) - "pull, neutral, push" system. Superconducting magnets in the train are pulled forward by track magnets. When the train is over the track magnet the track switches to neutral, then to the opposite polarity. So the magnet behind the train then pushes it forward.by massive magnets !
