The Track doesnt need to be elevated, it was chosen to in The Emsland & Shanghai

So the terrain/buildings etc. wouldnt be so much affected.

How do Transrapid Maglevs Slow and Stop?

Transrapid Maglevs slow down and stop using a combination of electromagnetic brakes and eddy-current brakes. Electromagnetic brakes work by applying a magnetic field to the track, which induces a current in the moving magnets of the train, creating a force that opposes the motion. Eddy-current brakes work by creating a magnetic field that interacts with the conducting track, generating eddy currents which create an opposite magnetic field that slows down the train. These braking systems work together to gradually slow down and bring the Transrapid Maglev to a stop.

Has the maglev train ever crashed?

Only one reported incident in Lathen Germany in 2006 during a test run where 23 people died. Accident was caused by human error not Maglev technology when a maintenance vehicle was on the track at the same time as the Transrapid train.


Where can you find a maglev?

There are quite a few in Japan (the fastest going up to 581 km/h), there is also a test track at the Transrapid facility in Emsland Germany which designed and built a second system in China (Shanghai to Shanghai Airport). I have also heard that a Transrapid system (UK Ultraspeed) has been planned, and is close to agreement by the British Government, that will link London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh and Glasgow (including several locations and airports in and around those cities). There are also several systems planned for the U.S. and Japan.

Did Mary Walton receive the patent for her invention in February 1881?

In February 1881, Mary Walton received a patent on her "Improvement in the Construction of the Framework and Bedding for the Track Rails of Elevated Railroads and Bridges." Basically, it made elevated trains quieter by transferring less of the vibration through the entire structure.

What is the name for the Germany maglev?

The name of the German maglev train system is the Transrapid. It is a high-speed magnetic levitation train that was developed in Germany and is known for its ability to travel at speeds exceeding 500 kilometers per hour (310 miles per hour). The technology utilizes magnetic forces to lift and propel the train, eliminating friction and allowing for smoother and faster travel. Although it was successfully demonstrated, the Transrapid system has not been widely implemented for commercial use in Germany.
