Maglev trains move more smoothly and somewhat
more quietly than wheeled mass transit systems. Their nonreliance
on 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). Although conventional wheeled
transportation can go very fast, maglev allows routine use of
higher top speeds than conventional rail, and this type holds
the speed record for rail transportation. Vacuum tube train
systems might hypothetically allow maglev trains to attain
speeds in a different order of magnitude, but no such tracks
have ever been built. Compared to conventional wheeled
trains, differences in construction affect the economics of
maglev trains. With wheeled trains at very high speeds, the
wear and tear from friction along with the concentrated
pounding from wheels on rails accelerates equipment
deterioration and prevents mechanically-based train systems
from routinely achieving higher speeds. Conversely, maglev
tracks have historically been found to be much more
expensive to construct, but require less maintenance and have
low ongoing costs. Across the world, Engineering has the
common language and common goal-“Improving the Quality
of Life” of mankind without any boundary restrictions. To bring
about this much needed change, Science and Technology
need transformation by the frantic pace of market dynamics.
What we need today is “Change Leaders” to bring about
innovation, growth and a totally new work culture. Levitation is
one such remarkable technology that is revolutionizing the
technology to propel vehicles:
• In the present work, extensive literature survey has been
carried out A demo model has been prepared and the
same has been put to operation. The results are very
encouraging .Maglev trains use magnets to levitate and
propel the trains forward
