Magnetic levitation trains

The discovery of high-temperature superconductors is surely one of the most exciting scientific developments in the last 20 years. It has stimulated an enormous amount of research in chemistry, physics, and materials science that could some day lead to a world of superfast computers, magnetically levitated trains, and power lines that carry electric current without loss of energy. [Pg.930]

FIGURE 21.15 An experimental magnetically levitated train (Maglev) in Japan is suspended above superconducting magnets that are cooled with liquid helium. This five-car train has attained a speed of 552 km/h in a manned vehicle run. [Pg.932]

Yet, recently there has been a renewed interest in rail alternatives—high-speed ones, of course, in keeping with the national preference. More specifically, the focus has centered on fast trains that would take advantage of developments in superconductivity and give us one of the most spectacular of all of its potential applications magnetically levitated trains, maglevs, that would literally fly between... [Pg.132]

A MAGLEV (magnetic levitation) train does not run along a track in the normal way. Instead, magnetic fields lift it above the track, so that the train floats along. [Pg.128]
