Maglev: A combination of super conducting magnets and linear motor technology

Ever since the discovery of the wheel, man has been in constant pursuit to achieve better and faster means of transportation. Maglev means magnetic levitation. It is the system which magnetically levitates the vehicle. These ultra high speed trains are acting as an indispossible resource to make the world smaller.

Maglev is a generic term for a family of technologies in which a vehicle is suspended, Guided and propelled by magnetic forces. the basic idea of a maglev is to levitate it with magnetic fields. So there is no physical contacts between the train and rails. Recent developments in cryogenics, superconductivity, power electronics, aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics has led to a renewed. Maglev can move people and goods with much mobility and speed, using much less energy at lower cost and with greatly reduced pollution compared to the existing modes of transport.
