In 1960s, three experimental systems of manned hovercraft appeared in the world, which was the earliest system to study maglev trains. With the development of science and technology, especially the appearance of solid-state electronics.
It makes the original huge control equipment very light and makes it possible to realize the maglev train technology. 1969, Mafay of german traction locomotive company developed a small maglev train system model, which was later named TR0 1. The speed of the train on the track of 1km reaches 165km, which is the first milestone in the development of maglev train.
At the beginning of 1900, experts from the United States and France put forward some conjectures that objects can get rid of their own gravity resistance and run efficiently-that is, the early model of magnetic levitation. The possibility of using friction-free maglev train is listed. However, at that time, due to the limitation of technology and materials, the maglev train was only in the guessing stage, and no practical methods were put forward to achieve this goal.
1937, Herman, a German, applied for the patent of maglev train.
