Principle of maglev train

It is precisely by using the properties that like-minded magnets repel each other and opposite-minded magnets attract each other that magnets have the ability of defying gravity, that is, magnetic levitation.

A maglev train with electric operation system is designed based on the principle of opposites attraction of magnets, which is characterized in that magnets are installed at the bottom and upside-down top of the car body, induction plates and induction steel plates are installed above the T-shaped guide rail and below the leg part respectively, and the current of electromagnets is controlled to keep a gap of 10- 15mm between the electromagnets and the guide rail, and the repulsive force of the guide rail steel plate is balanced with the gravity of the car, so that the car body is suspended in the driveway.

Precautions:

The maximum speed of maglev train can reach more than 500 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the 300-kilometer wheel-rail high-speed rail.

Because the maglev train is suspended on the track, there is no actual contact between the guide rail and the locomotive, so there is almost no friction between the wheels and the track, and the speed is as high as several hundred kilometers per hour.

Maglev train has the advantages of high reliability, simple maintenance and low cost. Its energy consumption is only half of that of a car and a quarter of that of an airplane, and its noise is low. When the speed of maglev train reaches more than 300 kilometers per hour, the noise is only 65 decibels, which is only equivalent to a person talking loudly, which is smaller than the sound of passing cars.
