HISTORICAL
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Approximately 25 years ago, scientists became interested in
developing a train that would combine high-speed with a
smooth ride and quiet operation. They developed the
"Maglev", or magnetic levitation train. This vehicle rides on a
cushion created by the electromagnetic repulsion between a
series of on-board magnets and another embedded in the
trackway below the train. Thus, this train does not run on
wheels. As a result, the ride is very smooth and there is no
metal-to-metal contact to generate noise and steel dust.
Keeping this kind of Maglev train airborne and in smooth
motion requires advanced, extremely accurate feedback
circuits and very strict engineering tolerances. The other
type of Maglev uses super-conducting coils embedded in the
guideway and electromagnets in the train cars to establish
the levitation.

There are two types of Maglev's: ones that use like magnets
which repel each other and ones that use opposing magnets
that attract with each other. Ones that use repelling
magnets' are called Superconducting Maglev's. The magnets
allow the train to float. Electromagnetic Maglevs use
opposing magnets.

WORKING OF
OF MAGLEV VEHICLE
Basically the construction depends on
3 different working forces.
PROPULSION FORCE
LEVITATING FORCE
LATERAL GUIDING FORCE
1. PROPULSION FORCE
This is a horizontal force which causes the movement of
train. It requires 3 parameters.

I. EDS SYSTEM:
In EDS both the rail and the train exert a magnetic field, and
the train is levitated by the repulsive force between these
magnetic fields.
At slow speeds, the current induced in these coils and the
resultant magnetic flux is not large enough to support the
weight of the train. For this reason the train must have
wheels or some other form of landing gear to support the
train until it reaches a speed that can sustain levitation.

CONCLUSION
It’s no longer science fiction, maglev trains are the new way
of transportation in the near future, just some obstacles are
in the way, but with some researches nothing is impossible.
With no engine, no wheels, no pollution, new source of
energy, floating on air, the concept has token tens of years
to develop, just recently it’s true capacities has been
realized. Competing planes with speed, boats with efficiency,
traditional trains with safety, and cars with comfort, it seems
like it isn't a fair fight....
Advantages
1. Quicker and efficient transport
2. No noise
3. Comfortable, smooth ride due to very little friction
4. Safe and cost-effective
5. Less consumption of natural resources
6. Environment-friendly as no gas is emitted
Disadvantage
1. Highly Expensive
2. Complex control system
3. No overlap or junction can done
