3. Introduction
World is fast moving but in comparison with it means
of transport is low.
Maglev is the best alternative for means of transport.
Maglev runs on the principle of magnetic levitation.
Maglev is noiseless ,friction less , and require no
maintenance.
Electrified transport reduces pollution.
The lack of friction allow maglev vehicle to travel at a
speed over 300 miles/hr.
5. Working principle
The propulsion of maglev train is explained by the following
principles
a)Principle of magnetic levitation (Levitation)
b) Principle of lateral guidance (Guidance)
c) Principle of Propulsion(Propulsion)
6.
7. Levitation
There are two types of levitation used in maglev trains
namely
a) Electro Magnetic Suspension (EMS)
b) Electro Dynamic Suspension (EDS)
9. Guidance
When a running Maglev vehicle, that is a superconducting
magnet, displaces laterally, an electric current is induced
in the loop, resulting in a repulsive force acting on the
levitation coils of the side near the car and an attractive
force acting on the levitation coils of the side farther
apart from the car.
10. propulsion
A repulsive force and an attractive force induced between
the magnets are used to propel the vehicle
(superconducting magnet). .
11. Advantages
1)They do not have an engine.
2)They do not use fossil fuels.
3)Fast and Quiet.
4)Light weight’
5)Environmentally friendly.
Disadvantages
1)The initial cost of MAGLEV trains are highly costly
12. Difference Between Maglev and
Conventional Train
Maglev Trains Conventional Trains
No Friction = Less
Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
Needed
No Engine = No fuel
required
Engine requires fossil
fuels
Speeds in excess of
300 mph
Speeds up to 110 mph
13. Current Situation
1.Commercially viable.
2.It will run for commercial service
3.At present countries like Germany, Japan &
China have shown their interest.
4.Since 1990 maglev has gained status of
nationally funded project.

15. Latest Project
INDIA
PUNE PANEL –MUMBAI PANEL
INDIAN ministry is currently in the process reviewing a
proposal to start a maglev train system in india .it has also
has been estimate the cost to complete this process would
over billion core .the company who sent the proposals is a
company based in the united kingdom.
16. Conclusion
1)Department of Energy, found that “maglev technology” is
a technically feasible transportation system.
2) The train is best levitated in centre position.
