INTRODUCTION
Maglev runs on the principle of magnetic levitation.
Maglev is noiseless ,friction less , and require very low maintenance.
World is fast moving but in comparison with it means of transport is low
MagLev “Guideways” or Tracks
Track repels magnets on undercarriage of train, sending the train forward.
Train levitates between 1 and 15 mm above guide way.
FIRE RESISTANCES:
Latest non-PVC material used that is non-combustible
Carries no fuel.
SAFETY:
Collisions are impossible because only section of tracks are activated as needed.
Other MagLev Applications
Disneyland’s California Adventure Coaster
California Screaming’ roller coaster uses MagLev technology to propel car from 0-55 mph in less than 5 seconds!
