Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
When were maglev trains first being used?
MagLev trains were first designed by a German man named Hermann Kemper. he was the first man to design and patent a MagLev train. The first MagLev train to be built and used was designed by Thyssen Henschel, another German, in the 1970's. The first passenger-carrying MagLev train was introduced in 1979 at the International Transportation Exposition in Hamburg, Germany. Thus began the MagLev train.
What is the force that lifts up and moves maglev trains?
It cannot. The magnets used for a maglev train must be engineered and built at very tight tolerances to allow a maglev train to function. Each magnet is specifically built for the maglev train, they cannot be "strengthened" versions of a magnet not made specifically for the train.
If someone wanted to ride on a maglev train what city could they go to?
The Chinese city of Shanghai is reported to have a Maglev train in commercial use. The Japanese and Germans are working on Maglevs so are the USA.
Where in the world are maglev trains found?
There is a low speed maglev train in Nagoya Japan called the Linimo, as well as a high-speed maglev train called the Shanghai Transrapid which links Shanghai International Airport and a transit station in Shanghai, China. There are also experimental maglev test lines in Daejeon, South Korea; Yamanashi, Japan; and Power Springs, Georgia, United States. A test facility in Emsland, Germany also just recently closed.

What is the name of the Japanese Maglev train?
The Chuo Shinkansen
What was the name of the creator of the maglev train?
don cornelius
What type of train uses magnets?
The maglev train floats over its track using an electromagnet. Maglev trains have managed speeds in excess of 370mph. A model of the maglev train uses two permanent magnets to get the model to float over the track.Describe how the magnets must be arranged to get the model Maglev Train to float.
How does magnetism keep the cars suspended on a maglev train?
Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.
Does Italy have Maglev train?
no
What controls the levitation of the cars of a Maglev train?
The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).
How does balance effect the maglev train?
It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.
What is electromagnet train?
You must mean a Maglev train. A Maglev train operates on maglev (magnetic levitation). It uses electromagnets (and possibly superconductors) that repel each other to lift the train above the ground to reduce as much friction as possible.
How do you people get on maglev trains?
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
What is the weight of the maglev train?
