German scientist Herrmann Kemper who have patent for levitating vehicle from year 1934.
Patents for Maglev trains were issued as early as 1905, But the first person to demonstrated a prototype of a magnetic levitating railway car was Emile Bachelet, of Mount Vernon, N. Y. in 1913.
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
972 MPH
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.
Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.
no
It is called MAGLEV or Magnetic Levitation. This locomotive is capable of reaching speeds of around 365 mph which makes it the worlds fastest train. Also this train is NOT AMERICAN made.
The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).
It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.
No the tgv train was recorded at 574.8km/h (357 mph) and the maglev train (magnetic train) was recorded at 581km/h (361 mph) a 6.2 km/h (4 mph) differenceSource:http://www.wikipedia.org
Less (rolling) friction.
