Principles of MAGLEV Train

1. Propulsion

2. Levitation

3. Lateral Guidance

Propulsion System

AC ran through electromagnet coils. Creates a magnetic field. Attracts and repels the magnets on the train.

Braking Reverse direction of AC

1) Attractive magnetic force

of a magnet.

2) Repulsive force between 2

magnetic fields.

Levitation Techniques

Lateral GuidanceWhen one side of the train nears the side of the guideway (walls), the train induces:

REPULSIVE FORCE

ATTRACTIVE FORCE

KEEP THE TRAIN IN THE CENTER

Advantages

High speed, 480Km/h.*

It uses 30% less energy than high speed train.*

(Main part of the energy used to overcome the air drag).

Less maintenance. No mechanical components.***

No wear and Tear.***

No engine. Requires no fossil fuel.**

Unaffected by weather conditions (snow, cold, rain).**

Avoid excessive vibrations. Less noise pollution. Less energy consumption.

No Rail-TrackFriction

* Better than conventional train.** Better than plane.*** Better than both.

Limitations

The Maglev's track is much expensive than railroad

tracks.

Existence of conventional high speed train.

Lack of investment.

Present Scenario

Commercially viable. Existence of commercial service. TransRapid.

Nowadays, countries like Germany, Japan, India & China have shown their interest.

It could replace the plane.

Other MagLev Applications

Roller coasters. Propel car from 0-90 Km/h in less than 5 seconds!

Rocket launching.

Aircraft carrier launching,

EMALS.

Accelerate the vehicles along the track
