MAGNETIC LAVITATION TRAIN (MAGLEV)

Project Abstract / Summary : Magnetic levitation train is a method of transportation that uses magnetic levitation to carry vehicles with magnets rather than with wheels, axles and bearings. With maglev, a vehicle is levitated a short distance away from a guide way using magnets to create both lift and propulsion. Maglev trains move more smoothly and somewhat more quietly than wheeled mass transit systems. Their non-reliance on traction and friction means that acceleration and deceleration can surpass that of wheeled transports, and they are unaffected by weather. The power needed for levitation is typically not a large percentage of the overall energy consumption. most of the power is used to overcome air resistance (drag), as with any other high-speed form of transport. Although conventional wheeled transportation can travel very quickly, a maglev system allows routine use of higher top speeds than does conventional rail, and it is this type which holds the speed record for rail transportation.

Why did you choose to work on this project topic : the project is about mobile transportation. it completely removes conventional wheels, its speeds,etc. It is most important revolution in the mobile transportation field switching of transportation towards wheelless system using magnets.it carry vehicles with magnets rather than with wheels, axles and bearings.It is next generation technology advancement towards transportation.
