When was the development of the maglev train started?
Here's the brief history of The Maglev Train. Maglev's Full Form is Magnetic Levitation. 1902- First magnetic train invented by Alfred Zehden of Germany. 1959-Design for first magnetic train made. 1979-First magnetic train built in Hamburg, Germany. (it was closed three months later) 1984-First magnetic train that people can ride built in Birmingham, England.

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 are maglev tracks different from other railway tracks?
Maglev stands for Magnetic Levitation. Means that the train will hover slightly over the track withoout direct contact making for a smoother ride.
How many people can ride on maglev train?

no
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 the MAGLEV system?
The MAGLEV system is a train that runs on magnets. The train hoovers on magnets that force a way from each other. The ride would be safer than a normal train and run smoother. They are not used in the US because cities are far apart. They more commonly used in countries with cities close together.
