What else can I help you with?
What factors determine the cost of monorails or maglev vehicles?
the materials used
How fast do the Maglev vehicles go?
The go fast 250 km/h and more
Are there any maglev vehicles in the US?
yes, there is,Added: I don't believe that ther are any operaing in a commercial application.
What other ways could maglev be used as?
This cannot be answered in the way it was asked. Maglev refers to magnetic levitation trains. This is limited to passenger trains. There are many systems in use on a maglev train system, not simply magnetic levitation - the magnetic levitation is in use in other systems, such as manufacturing, and has even been examined as a part of launching space vehicles, but is not referred to as "maglev".
Similarties between a Maglev vehicle and a Hovercraft?
Neither touches the ground with anything solid like wheels.
Why the maglev train is much quieter and uses less energy?
No contact with the ground (thus less friction).
What problems might a maglev help solve?
A maglev train can help alleviate traffic congestion, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by offering a more sustainable transportation option, and improve travel efficiency by moving at high speeds.
Abbreviation for magnetic levitation?
The abbreviation for magnetic levitation is Maglev.
Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
How do maglev trains manage to run without touching the ground?
Maglev trains use powerful magnets to create a magnetic field that lifts and propels the train above the track. This technology allows the train to levitate and move without touching the ground, reducing friction and increasing speed and efficiency.
What happens to maglev trains when they encounter ice?
Maglev means magnetic levitation. So the train is not touching the track, in fact once the engines are fired up, the entire train lifts about one cm off the track. So ice is irrelevant to a maglev vehicle. Unlike conventional vehicles which use friction as a braking force, e.g., tires on a road, a maglev uses eddy currents produced in the track as a result of magnetic force as both propulsion and braking methods.
Why does the maglev train not make rattling sound?
As its name suggests, it floats (or levitates) above the ground. Additionally, it has no traditional "rails" to make clacking sounds with.
