INTRODUCTION:

Maglev is a system of transport that suspends, guides and propels vehicles, predominately trains, using magnetic levitation from a very large number of magnets for lift and propulsion. This method has potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than wheeled mass transits system.

COMPONENTS OF MAGLEV TRAIN:

• LEVITATION: is the ability for the train to stay suspended above the track.
• GUIDANCE: is what keeps the train centered over the guideway.
• PROPULSION: is the force that drives the train forward.

 

BENEFITS  :

The clearest feature of is that they can travel faster than traditional rail trains. There are more suitable qualities that also make maglev attractive are:

• LONGETIVITY: Conventional wheels and rails undergo a great wear-and-tear. In maglev, there is no contact between train and guideway, so there is substantially less wear-and-tear. The lifespan of maglev parts is much longer due to this fact.
• SAFETY: They are near impossible to derail. Also weather isn’t much of a problem.
• ENERGY EFFICIENCY:Due to levitation these trains don’t lose any energy due to friction.
• ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:Guideways take up less area than rails do. This can put less impact on environment
• NOISE POLLUTION:Maglev trains are quieter than contemporary trains, so this is another point in their favour.

 CONCLUSION:

Magnetic levitation train is ecofriendly and high-speed train and we have tried to explain about maglev trains. To get to know more about maglev train you can buy a product which SOK provide naming 4M Eco-Engineering Maglev Train Model Science Kit. This can help your kids to discover how super-fast maglev trains can travel with this amazing model.
