Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
How long did it take to build a maglev train?
it depend how you look at they came up with several similar thing that were not quit maglev train starting for the 1900's but the actual model started in 2001 and finish in 2005 so it about 4 years
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 many people can the Maglev train hold?
enough to fill it up
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.
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
Why is the bullet train built?
So it is quicker to get around. Oh and if you think a bullet train is fast look up the maglev train!
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
