INTRODUCTION:
Maglev=Magnetic + Levitation
Maglev runs on the principle of magnetic
levitation.
Maglev is noiseless ,friction less , and require no
maintenance.
Maglev is the best alternative for means of
transport.

BASIC PRINCIPLE OF MAGLEV TRAINS
1.Leviation
2.Propulsion
3.Lateral Guidance
![Page 5: MAGLEV TRAIN (Train that floats in the air)](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a95b131a28abe94d8b4735/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
TYPES OF MAGLEV TRAINSBased on the technique used for Leviation the are
two types of Maglev trains
1. Electromagnetic Suspension -Attractive
2. Electrodynamic Suspension -repulsive

ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENSION(EMS)
Electromagnetic Suspension uses electromagnets to leviate the train
![Page 7: MAGLEV TRAIN (Train that floats in the air)](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a95b131a28abe94d8b4735/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
PRINCIPLE OF MAGNETIC LEVIATION
o Electromagnets attached to the train.
o Has guidance magnets on the sides.
o A computer changes the amount of current to
keep the train 1 cm from the track.
o Max speed -438km/hr
o Has on-board battery power
supply.

PRINCIPLE OF PROPULSION
The principle of electromagnetic propulsion is :
“opposite poles attract each other and like poles
repel each other”
Major components of this propulsion system.
They are:
A large electrical power source
Metal coils that line the entire guideway
Guidance magnets used for alignment
.

WORKING: Stators of the Maglev system are usually in the
guiderails. Rotors are located within the electromagnetic
system on the train. The alternating current allows a pull from the
magnetic field in front of the train, and a push from the magnetic field behind the train
Train reaches maximum velocitiy of 300 miles per hour.

ELECTRODYNAMIC SUSPENSION
Electrodynamic Suspension uses Superconductors for leviation,propulsion and lateral guidance
![Page 11: MAGLEV TRAIN (Train that floats in the air)](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a95b131a28abe94d8b4735/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
SUPERCONDUCTIVITY Superconductivity occurs in certain materials at
very low temperatures. When superconductive, a material has an
electrical resistance of exactly zero. It is also characterized by a phenomenon called
the Miessner effect.

PRINCIPLE OF MAGNET LEVITATION
o The superconducting magnets by figure eight
levitation coils on the side of the track induces a
current in the coils and creates a magnetic field.
o The repulsive forces between the magnets and
coils lift the train, on average, about 4 to 6 inches
above the track.

o The propulsion coils located on the sidewalls on both sides of the guideway are energized by a three-phase alternating current.
oThe on-board superconducting magnets are attracted and pushed by the shifting field, propelling the Maglev vehicle.
oBraking is accomplished by sending an alternating current in the reverse direction.

MERITS AND DEMERITSTECHNOLOGY
MERITS DEMERITS
EMS •Magnetic fields inside & outside the vehicle are less than EDS.•No wheels or secondary propulsion required•Can attain very high speed.(500km/hr).
•Constant monitoring correction of separation between vehicle & guideway using computer systems essential.•Due to inherent instability and corrections ,vibration issues may occur.
EDS •Onboard magnets and large separation enable highest recorded speeds(581km/hr) and heavy load capacity.•Naturally stable and hence no feedback control required.
•Strong magnetic field makes the train inaccessible to passengers with pacemakers or storage media like hard drives and credit cards.•Vehicle must be wheeled for low speed travel.

ADVANTAGES OF MAGNETIC LEVITATED TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
A Maglev is way faster than your usual bullet
train. Maglevs can reach speeds up to 500
kilometres per hour. (Mumbai-Delhi in 2-3 hrs)
Due to its lack of wheels, MagLevs are quieter
than normal trains, or sometimes even traffic.
Maglevs use 30% less energy than normal trains.
In theory, a Maglev and its track would require
very little maintenance since the train never
touches the track there is virtually no wear and
tear.
![Page 16: MAGLEV TRAIN (Train that floats in the air)](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012307/55a95b131a28abe94d8b4735/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
OTHER APPLICATIONS NASA plans to use magnetic levitation for
launching of space vehicles into low earth orbit.
Boeing is pursuing research in MagLev to provide a Hypersonic Ground Test Facility for the Air Force.
The mining industry will also benefit from MagLev.
There are probably many more undiscovered applications!

DISADVANTAGES:
The Maglev's track is much more expensive than
railroad tracks.
Whole new sets of tracks would have to be built
for the Maglev to run. Many Transportation
vehicles in Europe run on existing track, like the
TGV trains in France.
Although Maglevs are pretty quiet, noise caused
by air disturbance still occurs.

MAGLEV VS CONVENTIONAL TRAINS
MagLev Trains Conventional Trains
No Friction = Less Maintenance
Routine Maintenance Needed
No Engine = No fuel required
Engine requires fossil fuels
Speeds in excess of300 mph
Speeds up to 110 mph

CONCLUSION The MagLev Train: Research on this ‘dream
train' has been going on for the last 30 odd years
in various parts of the world.
The chief advantages of this type of train are:
Non-contact and non-wearing propulsion,
independent of friction, no mechanical
components like wheel, axle.
Maintenance cost is less.
A country like India could benefit very much if
this were implemented here.
