Maglev Trains: An Application of Magnetic Levitation
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Magnetic Levitation
Abstract
The name maglev is derived from magnetic levitation. Magnetic levitation is a highly advanced technology. It has various uses. The common point in all applications is the lack of contact and thus no wear and friction. This increases efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and increases the useful life of the system. The magnetic levitation technology can be used as an efficient technology in the various industries. There are already many countries that are attracted to maglev systems. Many systems have been proposed in different parts of the worlds. This paper tries to study the most important application of magnetic levitation technology which is the Maglev train.
