How are Maglev trains better for the envirment?
They're not, its all politics and game playing.
What is the difference between maglev trains and normal trains?
It's all in the name - maglev (short for magnetic levitation) uses magnetic fields to lift itself up, reducing friction and as a main source for propulsion.
Do maglev trains use renewable energy?
Depends. maglev trains run in electricity, and electricity can come from all sorts of sources. You can get it from hydro Power, nuclear Power, fossil fuels, solar Power etc. Renewable or not doesn't matter to a maglev train. They can run on anything that can be turned into electricity.
Why didn't they complete a maglev train in the UScities?
It's all to do with magnetic repulsion - when the train is moving, the two magnets have the same pole, and so repel each other, creating a "cushion". It's a bit like the principle of two bar magnets in school, matching north pole to north pole.
What are facts about maglev trains?
Advantages : they'd be wonderful on the moon OR in vacuum tunnels bored through the Earth. Disadvantages : expensive, and by that I mean that their cost does not translate into savings. Like growing corn to make ethanol for fuel when the BTU's spent in fuel and fertilizer exceeds the BTU's you get from the alcohol.
What are the advantages to the maglev train?
MagLev (or magnetic levitation) trains have no moving parts and therefore need much less maintenance and are nearly silent. They run on superconducting magnets and don't require all of the fuel that current trains do and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. The superconducting magnets are run alongside each other. This would mean that for the train to stop running both magnets would have to fail in the time it would take the train to reach the next stopping point which is only a few minutes. The probability of this happening would be less than once in millions of years of operation.And I like the way it looks!!!!!!!!! The electromagnets that are used in the train are easily turned of so there will be hardly and chance of missing your stop. They also go 359mph. Three times the speed of an average car.it also has less friction henrymeadstinks.
How does maglev trains stop?
The current flow is reversed in the opposite direction, which causes a retardation in the speed of the train.MagLev trains use the rule that like poles of magnets repel to stop. So, the electromagnetic track just changes so that all the South and North poles all meet other South and North poles and the train is repelled, slowing it down. They balance it out, and the train is stopped.
What was the basic of all these ethical systems?
The basic purpose of all these ethical system is to restore order.
What do all trains have in common?
all trains have engines and passangers
Which is the basic part of all operating system?
Kernel.
What is the max safe speed for a maglev train today?
Maglev trains are among the safest rapid transit systems in the world. The speed and distance among Maglev vehicles are automatically controlled by the frequency of the electric power fed to the guideway, thus possible collisions are eliminated.
How does the maglev train differ from a normal train?
The biggest difference is that a maglev train is not touching anything while it is traveling, while a normal train is sitting on steel rails at all times.
