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.


Are there maglev trains that use repulsion to move?

Yes, the Japanese system uses magnets that attract, then repell the train.EDS - ElectroDynamic Suspension (Japan) - "pull, neutral, push" system. Superconducting magnets in the train are pulled forward by track magnets. When the train is over the track magnet the track switches to neutral, then to the opposite polarity. So the magnet behind the train then pushes it forward.


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.


What does maglev stand for?

Maglev stands for Magnetic Levitation (primarily used in trains) it refers to how they use the repulsion of electromagets to "fly" from 1cm - 10cm above an electromagnetic track (guideway) the applications are mainly for highspeed transport because as there is no friction, these trains have a record speed of 518km/h (311mph).


What is the max safe speed for a maglev train today?

Maglev trains are among the safest rapid transit systems in the world. The speed and distance among Maglev vehicles are automatically controlled by the frequency of the electric power fed to the guideway, thus possible collisions are eliminated.

You can use it to take the magnet train to kanto I think.


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 is the Magnetic Train?

The Magnet Train is a train that you can use to go between Johto and Kanto.


Does it make a difference which way the magnets are placed on the maglev train?

Yes. The "magnets" are not conventional magnets, like the ones you may use at home, on a maglev train. Their position and control of them is extremely critical for train operation so these are engineered to only be installed and function in one way.


How do you reduce the friction between two sufaces?

Use a lubricant between the two surfaces - oil, grease, water (aquaplaning for example), ice (slipping over on ice), air (hovercraft for example), magnet levitation (the Japanese maglev train for example).
