MAGLEV TRAINS



ABSTRACT:

The concept of magnetically levitated or maglev trains is of very much interesting.
The conventional trains with wheels and guide rails turn to be uneconomical beyond 200 km/hr because at this high speed, air resistance and hence the drag force increases. Therefore, they are very much expensive and require intensive maintenance. Maglev trains avoid these disadvantages and prove highly beneficial.

It is based on the three principles viz. electrodynamic suspension, electromagnetic suspension and propulsion by LSM principle.

Its various elements are carefully designed. The Maglev trains are proved very much useful by the environmental consideration.

Because of its importance and benefits, it is important from the study point of view.
Thus, thanks to scientists who have worked hard for its research and implementation.

It is remarkably noted that progress has been achieved in the field of science and technology. Hence by absorbing those techniques, it is believed that the day of implementation of maglev trains all over the world will not be far away.
