MAGLEV TRAINS: Trains that Fly  
  Authors : Abhinav Chugh; Aditya Gupta; Ishita Bhargava

 

Magnetic Levitation is a technology that has been experimented with intensely over the past couple decades. It wasn’t until the last ten years when scientists began to develop systems that would use magnetic levitation as a means of transport. This paper outlines the methods behind magnetic levitation, as well as the technologies implemented using the levitation. The implementation of a large-scale transportation system using magnetic levitation has huge social as well as economical effects. These aspects are looked at in a number of situations to see if the effort in producing a system using magnets is worth the time and eff. The MAGLEV TRAINS have a countless number of advantages which are making us to think more towards the MAGLEV TRAINS than the conventional trains. High speed trains like MAGLEV TRAINS moves very smoothly as compared to the other conventional trains due to absence of wheels in it.

Magnetic levitation, train, propels, thrust, and wheels

Maglev trains will soon be the new way of transport. Several obstacles in the way, but there are also some more improvisation that nothing is impossible. Since there is no engine, no wheels, no pollution, new energy sources, floating in the air, this concept has taken decades to develop and recently its true function have now been achieved. To compete with the high-speed aircraft, ships and effectiveness, security and conventional trains, cars with comfort, this seems to be a promising means of transport. Maglev trains are environmentally friendly, noise pollution is minimized because there is no wheel-rail contact (friction). Maglev trains 150 mph standing work cannot be heard 25 miles away people. The system encourages the conservation of land, where land is expensive or unavailable which is very useful. For the train tracks are easily built on an elevated platform; it is under construction and development opportunities, prevent land anatomy, but also reduce the conflict of animals.
