There is a low speed maglev train in Nagoya Japan called the Linimo, as well as a high-speed maglev train called the Shanghai Transrapid which links Shanghai International Airport and a transit station in Shanghai, China. There are also experimental maglev test lines in Daejeon, South Korea; Yamanashi, Japan; and Power Springs, Georgia, United States. A test facility in Emsland, Germany also just recently closed.

The maximum speed of a Maglev (magnetic levitation) train on a test track in japan was 581km/h.
In Shanghai, a Maglev train routinely runs to the airport at 431km/h.

It's in China! Basically it' s a maglev train going up to 431 km/h in service and hitting 501 km/h on tests! It's a 30.5 km line between Shanghai and Shanghai airport. ;)

The fastest train of the world operates in Shanghai, China. It's called the 'Shanghai Maglev' and have a maximum operational speed of 430km/h and regularly operates at an average speed of 251km/h.

The fastest train in the world (July 2010) is the Chinese Shanghai Maglev Train.
In test runs, it achieved a speed of 311 mph, (501 km/h).

A small, three car maglev train weighs more or less 100 tons, so they are relatively light trains.

The development of the maglev train started in the early 20th century, with notable advancements in the 1960s and 1970s in countries like Germany and Japan. The first commercial maglev train system, the Linimo in Japan, began operation in 2005.

1 answer
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.

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.

They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
1 answer
yes the train will go 500 mph
Correction added -
There is no conventional train capable of exceeding 310 miles per hour today for passenger service. Test runs have been made much higher, but no train has run even close to 500 mph, the technology simply does not yet support such high speeds.

The biggest difference is that a maglev train is not touching anything while it is traveling, while a normal train is sitting on steel rails at all times.

No two solids ever touch in a maglev.

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.

There most likely is no alternative if you have selected travel on a maglev. However, the more common method for train travel is a conventional "steeel-wheels-on steel-rails" train.

no its in china...shanghai to Beijing...or Beijing to shanghai
1 answer
It cannot. The magnets used for a maglev train must be engineered and built at very tight tolerances to allow a maglev train to function. Each magnet is specifically built for the maglev train, they cannot be "strengthened" versions of a magnet not made specifically for the train.

You can say yes, because it run on electricity and it has no friction other than air resistance, but it isn't so simple. There is constant need for energy to keep train levitating so energy consumption is not lower than high speed train and if speed is low conventional high speed train may win in energy consumption. But if you compare maglev to aircraft, maglev would definitly would win.
Maglev tracks are extremly expensive, there is only one Maglev build for regular passengers, between airport and city center in Shanghai. There is doubt if it could be economical to operate and even maglevs aren´t much faster than conventional high speed trains. France TGV record is 571 km/h, but japanese Maglev record is only 581 km/h and this isn't big difference.

The new CRH Wuhan-Guangzhou train service travels at an average speed of 217 miles per hour. It is in China, but was developed by a consortium of European companies. Howev er, als in China, However, the Shanghai Maglev Train reaches top speeds of 431 km/h (268 mph), the fastest high-speed train in service in the world - though, being Maglev (magnetic levitation) it does not actually travel on rails, so might not qualify as a train.

*Correction - Each maglev train is unique and may include any number of cars in its consist, but typically a relatively small number simply due to platform lengths and power limitations. So this number may range from 2 to as high as 20, but expect 2 to 8 cars depending on the system.

Maglev trains use powerful magnets to create a magnetic field that repels the train from the tracks, allowing for levitation and propulsion. The system keeps the train hovering at a specific distance from the track, reducing friction and allowing for high-speed travel.

The concept of a magnetic levitation train was first proposed by Robert Goddard, an American engineer and physicist, in the early 1900s. However, the first practical maglev train system was developed by German engineer Hermann Kemper in the 1930s.

Yes, maglev trains can be built underground. In fact, the majority of the Chuo Shinkansen maglev line being built in Japan will be underground.
1 answer
An electromagnetic train, also known as a maglev train, uses magnetic levitation to suspend and propel the train without the need for wheels or tracks. The train hovers above the track and is propelled by the electromagnetic force generated between the train and the track. This technology allows for faster speeds, smoother rides, and lower maintenance compared to traditional trains.
