Description

MAGLEV TRAINS Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation), is a system of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using magnetic levitation from a very large number of magnets for lift and propulsion. This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than wheeled mass transit systems. The power needed for levitation is usually not a particularly large percentage of the overall consumption; most of the power used is needed to overcome air drag, as with any other high speed train. The highest recorded speed of a Maglev train is 581 kilometres per hour (361 mph), achieved in Japan in 2003, 6 kilometres per hour (3.7 mph) faster than the conventional TGV wheel-rail speed record. The first commercial maglev people mover was simply called "MAGLEV" and officially opened in 1984 near Birmingham, England. It operated on an elevated 600-metre (2,000 ft) section of monorail track between Birmingham International Airport and Birmingham International railway station, running at speeds up to 42 km/h (26 mph); the system was eventually closed in 1995 due to reliability problems. Perhaps the most well known implementation of high-speed maglev technology currently operating commercially is the Shanghai Maglev Train, an IOS (initial operating segment) demonstration line of the German-built Transrapid train in Shanghai, China that transports people 30 km (19 mi) to the airport in just 7 minutes 20 seconds, achieving a top speed of 431 km/h (268 mph), averaging 250 km/h (160 mph).

LE MAGLEV Un train à sustentation magnétique est un train qui utilise les forces magnétiques pour se déplacer. Il utilise le phénomène de sustentation électromagnétique et n'est donc pas en contact avec des rails, contrairement aux trains classiques. Ce procédé permet de minimiser les frottements et d'atteindre des vitesses plus élevées : le record est de 581 km/h (obtenu en 2003), soit 6,2 km/h de plus que le record d'un train classique (580,8 km/h par une version modifiée du TGV en 2007). Le type à sustentation électrodynamique (ou EDS), utilisant des aimants supraconducteurs. Des bobines supraconductrices sont placées dans le train et des électroaimants sont placés le long de la voie. Lorsque le train se déplace, un courant est induit dans la voie. La force de Laplace résultante fait léviter le train. Le déplacement du train engendre une traînée électromagnétique très importante, d'où une consommation énergétique élevée. Le projet le plus abouti est le Maglev japonais. Le type à sustentation électromagnétique (ou EMS), utilisant des électroaimants classiques. La traînée électromagnétique est ici très faible, voire nulle. Le Transrapid allemand en est le principal représentant. Le rail « porteur » contient des aimants ou des électroaimants. L'interaction entre les aimants à bord du train et des aimants disposés le long de la voie crée une force magnétique induite qui compense la gravité et crée la lévitation. Ces aimants repoussent le train vers le haut et assurent l'existence d'une garde suffisante entre le "rail" et le train ce qui affranchit le véhicule de toute perte due à la friction. Il apparaît cependant une traînée magnétique. Par ailleurs, aux vitesses élevées, c'est la résistance aérodynamique qui représente de loin la principale résistance à l'avancement. La propulsion est assurée par un moteur linéaire synchrone. MAGLEV TRAINS VIDEO MERCI Magik

It is a cool concept and has its uses, however, getting people to accept it as a viable alternative transportation is like talking to a brick wall

A lot of people do not know this but the current collecting gear to operate these trains was/is made for Transrapid by the firm I worked for in Chard, Somerset. The firm is called Breknell Willis.

awesome transportation means.if humanity would really concentrate on doing the "positive"things with the knowledge we already have this world would be a better place.excellent example.
