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.

When was the first maglev train invented?
Electromagnetism was discovered in 1911 and it led to the mag-lev trains. These trains made rail travel much faster and used less energy.
What is maglev?
"magnetic" "levitation" A cute way to make trains float - thus reducing rolling friction, but NOT air friction.
What countries do maglev trains come from?
Germany and Japan are both developing maglev train technology, and are both currently testing prototypes. Japan Railway Company has designed their train to go at 311mph and carry 16 carriages (1,000 commuters). Although Germany and Japan's trains are similar, they have very distinctive differences. The German train uses electromagnetic suspension (EMS) system, and the Japanese trains use an electrodynamics suspension (EDS) system. EMS uses standard electromagnets, in which the coils only conduct electricity when a power supply is present. The EDS chills the coils at frigid temperatures, saving energy. The system used to cool these coils can be expensive though.China is also involved with the construction of maglev trains. China is planning to build a vacuum-tube maglev train which is predicted to go 1,000 km/h. Putting the maglev train inside a vacuum tube will enable greater velocity due to decreased friction.Although these trains will enable faster travel, they will not be available for public use until 2045.Maglev trains are a type of high-speed train that runs on magnets supported by a magnetic field generated around the track. China, Japan, France, Germany, and Spain have maglevs.Not counting models and test projects; one. In Shanghai, China.
Where is the Maglev train used?
The Chuo Shinkansen is a superconducting maglev line being built between Osaka and Tokyo Japan. Currently, a test facility in Yamanashi Japan is being upgraded to be a part of the final 272-mile corridor. The first phase of the train is expected to be open in 2027, and the full corridor by 2045.
How many people can ride on maglev train?
A small, three car maglev train weighs more or less 100 tons, so they are relatively light trains.

What force is used in Maglev trains?
(Electro) magnetism. magnetic attraction and repulsion.
When were maglev trains invented?
== == The Maglev train was first invented in 1902. It was invented from a German man named Alfred Zehden of Germany.The first operational Maglev train was The Transrapid 05used at the International Transport Exhibition in 1979; and later used a s a commuter transport in Kassel, Germany.

"magnetic" "levitation" A cute way to make trains float - thus reducing rolling friction, but NOT air friction.
What are maglev trains used for?
Maglev trains were developed for efficient passenger operations, both for high volume short lines at relatively low speeds, and for very high speed inter-city travel.
Can maglev trains be used as freight movers?
Under current technology, no. A maglev train cannot handle the weight of freight that would make it efficient.
What other ways could maglev be used as?
This cannot be answered in the way it was asked. Maglev refers to magnetic levitation trains. This is limited to passenger trains. There are many systems in use on a maglev train system, not simply magnetic levitation - the magnetic levitation is in use in other systems, such as manufacturing, and has even been examined as a part of launching space vehicles, but is not referred to as "maglev".
Where were maglev trains invented?
The Maglev train (also known as the Magnetic Levitation train) was invented in Germany, by a man named Alfred Zehden, in 1902.+++The Linear Motor which is used to propel the levitated trains, was invented in Britain, in the 1960s I think, but sadly not developed here.in japan The technology in use for the Japanese MagLev was invented by two US inventors and was sold to the Japanese when no US investors could be found to proceed with a full-scale maglev in the US. The American prototype maglev train they made was only 3 feet long. A German maglev, using a different technology, was invented and built at about the same time, with the German maglev in use prior to the Japanese maglev.

What does the magnetism do in maglev trains?
Maglev is a contraction of Magnetic Levitation. Magnets of the same polarity are used to levitate the train so that there is no friction between train and rail. Electromagnets of opposing polarity are switched on in sequence ahead of the train to pull it forward.
