Transportation is one of the recurring problems of modern life. While new ways of getting around have been developed, they are still often slow, expensive, or there simply isnt room for so many people. Airplanes, the fastest way to travel, are delayed by weather, cars create huge traffic jams, and ships are not always an option if the place is too far away. But trains are still one of the best ways to travel fast, thats why the Maglev train was created.
How does the maglev train work?
Maglev is the short form of name magnetic levitation (magnetic levitation, in English). It means that this type of train floats on a road thanks to magnetism, replacing the iron previously used in the tracks.
What is electromagnetic propulsion?
Electromagnetic propulsion is based on in the traditional idea that opposite poles attract and like poles repel. However, the attraction in electromagnets is temporary and for this a system was created that allows it to be maintained indefinitely.
Basic architecture of the system
The Maglev train has three basic components: a large electrical power source, metal coils lining the tracks and magnets underneath the train. The biggest difference with a common train is that it does not have an engine. The energy used by the maglev train is the electricity in the metal spirals that creates a magnetic field to move the train.
This magnetic field repels the magnets underneath the train causing it to levitate from 1 to 10 centimeters. The electric current changes the polarity of the magnetized spirals constantly, causing the magnetic field in front of the train to push it forward.
The train floats on a bed of air, which eliminates all friction with other objects and therefore reaches very high speeds of more than 500 kph. At that speed you can travel from Paris to Rome in 2 hours.
Is it viable for todays world?
Currently, the only commercial Maglev train that exists is in Shanghai ( China), using as a basis the one created by Germany. Although several countries have the construction of these trains as a project, many of them have been limited by the costs created. The United States has as a project to do it in the future, so it is a matter of time for this technology to reach several areas and costs are reduced.
Can you imagine a trip of almost 500 kilometers per hour in the Maglev train?
