Yes, maglev trains can be built underground. In fact, the majority of the Chuo Shinkansen maglev line being built in Japan will be underground.

When was the first successful maglev train built?

1994


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.


Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?

maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.


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!


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. (it was closed in 1995) More Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains were made and closed. 2004-First high-speed maglev train that people can ride on opened in Shanghai, China.


When were maglev trains first being used?

MagLev trains were first designed by a German man named Hermann Kemper. he was the first man to design and patent a MagLev train. The first MagLev train to be built and used was designed by Thyssen Henschel, another German, in the 1970's. The first passenger-carrying MagLev train was introduced in 1979 at the International Transportation Exposition in Hamburg, Germany. Thus began the MagLev train.


How does a maglev run?

A Maglev (magnetic Levitation) runs in a new technology. Maglev work by magnets. There are large rotating magnets built onto the sides of the track and train. This causes the Maglevs to levitate. This is possible by electromagnetic suspension.


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.


Does Italy have 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.


How do you people get on maglev trains?

They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
