![Science Online Lesson #5(Maglev Trains) ,[object Object],2) What advantage(s) would be achieved using this technology? It reduces the maintenance cost of the Maglev System by a significant extent. More importantly, there is no physical contact between the train and the track, as a result of which there is no rolling resistance. Maglevs are also environment al friendly as they don’t resort to internal combustion engines. These trains are weather proof, which means rain, snow, or severe cold don’t really affect their performance. Maglev , is a system of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles, predominantly trains, using magnetic levitation from a very large number of magnets for lift and propulsion. This method has the potential to be faster, quieter and smoother than wheeled mass transit systems.

Meglev train
- 2. 3)The countries that have introduced this technology to her people. They are US(New York), Hamburg and Berlin(Germany), Birmingham (UK), Japan and Vancouver(Canada). 4) What is the average speed of the maglev train and which country claimed the fastest moving one? The average speed of a maglev train is 250km/h(160 mph). Japan claimed the fastest moving maglev train, which is 581km/h. 5) Which is faster? F1 racing car or Maglev train? The maglev train. The highest speed of the F1 racing car is only about 360km/h whilst the highest speed of the maglev train is 581km/h. 6) Would you want the maglev train to be introduced in Singapore? If yes, why? If no, why not? Yes, I would want it to be introduced to Singapore as it is environmental friendly especially the when the earth is ‘sick’ now.
