What powers a maglev Train?

Answer 1

Usually a old fashioned locamotive is powered by a Steam/Coal Engine/furnace, but latest trains are powered by Diesil-Electric Engines, which changes the diesil power in the engine to electric and sends this energy to the wheels, consequently, making the wheels move.

Answer 2

Magnets can either attract or repell other magnets, depending upon whether opposite poles (north vs. south) or same pole (north-north or south-south) are facing each other. So, by arranging magnets in a certain way, a train can be made to float above the track on repelling magnetic fields. This lets it move with every little friction (there is still air resistance).

A:A maglev train moves by using a set of magnets that repel each other and two coils attached to an electric strip that propel it. For example, you would put a N magnet on the bottom of the train, a S magnet on the bottom, and two coils of copper wire on either side of the train coming into contact with metal retainers on either side given an electric current.
Magnetism in elementary science states that like poles repel and opposites attract. When two magnets of the same poles are brought towards each other, a repulsion force can be felt and likewise a pair of the same poles will attract. Maglev trains use these basic principles to force the train upwards above the track surface. The simple way of visualizing this is to imagine the train repelling away from the track surface.

Supercooling superconducting materials enhances their magnetic properties. The Ideal MagLev Train harnesses materials that retain superconducting properties at near average temperatures.
The repulsion of like magnetic poles cause it to "float",

The attraction of opposing poles is used to make it move.

Maglev trains work because they have magnets below the train and their railways have magnets , some magnets in the railway attract the magnets of the train and some repel. So they have the ability to float in the air .

Answer 3

The only place the magnets on a maglev train could be to perform their designed function would be on the very bottom, spread in a line running fore to aft. A second bank of magnets would be in place of the typical rail lines underneath the train, with similar poles of the two groups of magnets facing each other.

Answer 4

It uses a linear electric motor where the track is the stator and the train is the "rotor" (more correctly the slider as the train slides not rotates). Magnetic fields in the track and train both lift and move the train.

Answer 5

it is powered by electricity

Answer 6

the power is in the rails causes strong electromagnets to change polarity opposite the magnets on the train. their mutual repulsion keeps the train from contacting the rails

Answer 7

It doesn't have an engine but uses high speed magnetic propulsion.

Answer 8

Electricity.

Answer 9

Magnetic fields.
