There is currently only one maglev mass transit in work in Shanghai, but in the near future we can expect some more operating lines in the world. The maglev trains are holding the world record of highest speed among trains with 581 km/h. The maximum speed of the Shanghai maglev in normal operation is 431 km/h.

Superconducting Levitation Superconductors expel magnetic field, and hence repel magnets. This repulsion can be stronger than gravity, which leads to levitation - the most fascinating manifestation of superconductivity. This web-page presents a few movies showing how the superconducting levitation works. AVI movie 280 Kb MPEG movie 330 Kb QuickTime movie 460 Kb. Movie 1: Levitation in action A superconductor is immersed in liquid nitrogen to provide cooling below the critical temperature. A magnet is placed in the air above the superconductor and left there levitating. Nothing but magnetic interaction keeps the magnet from falling down. AVI movie 420 Kb MPEG movie 360 Kb QuickTime movie 850 Kb. Movie 2: Finding a better levitating position The levitating magnet has a preferential position above the superconductor and returns there after a small perturbation by a human finger. When the magnet is pushed hard towards the superconductor, it changes the magnetic field distribution in the superconductor, and a new position becomes preferential.

Magnetic Levitation at Room Temperature Tai C. Chiang (first draft 8/7/2004) Simple and inexpensive levitation no batteries, no liquid nitrogen, and no complicated electronic circuits. Stable passive diamagnetic levitation at room temperature using permanent magnets Many people have seen levitation tricks. A common one is a magnet floating above a piece of YBCO high-temperature superconductor cooled by liquid nitrogen. One can also levitate a frog (or other animals or objects) with a very powerful superconducting magnet. But these tricks are hard to do at home. For levitation enthusiasts, here is a simple experiment. You can levitate a piece of graphite at room temperature using powerful permanent magnets. The cost can be as low as a dollar. Sextupole, quadrupole, and 3x3 configurations. Pictures for a quadrupole set. These are some of the simplest configurations. The magnets are arranged with the north poles of adjoining magnets alternately pointing up and down. The magnets are neodymium-iron-boron (NIB) magnets coated with nickel or gold. Small ones are inexpensive. You can find many vendors on the web. You can also find such magnets in some stores. NIB magnets of 0.5-inch size or larger can be dangerously powerful and should not be used by beginners. Keep the magnets away from medical equipment, computers, monitors, TVs, cards with magnetic strips, and other magnetic objects. You can use fairly small ones for levitation. The 3x3 configuration above uses 1/8-inch cubes. High grade NIB magnets (N50 for example) are better, but the cost is higher. N38 grade is more common and cheaper, and works nearly as well.

Future What is magnetic levitation? Essentially it is the use of magnetic fields (or magnetic forces) to levitate a (usually) metallic object. By manipulating magnetic fields and controlling their forces an object can be levitated. more The word 'levitation' comes from the latin word 'levis' meaning 'light'. source : dictionary.com What Why News How History ... Future Why is magnetic levitation important? Magnetic levitation is useful in a variety of applications. Simply levitating an object immediately suggests a number of things: Transport systems eg magnetically levitated trains.

Maglev Trains Magnetic Levitation (maglev) is an exciting new technology that could revolutionize high-speed mass transit, but it may be too soon to start a maglev system in the Seattle area. The Fleming Family home page My Monorail web site Rapid Transit Subways ... Contact me Mag Lev is short for Magnetic Levitation. It is a relatively new mode of transport that basically uses magnet fields to hold a train slightly above the guideway, so that it is actually floating in the air. This greatly reduces the friction and the train can travel at very high speeds. The principle behind this magic is really very simple. If you have ever played around with magnets, and tried to push the south pole of one against the south pole of the other, or the north pole of one against the north pole of the other, you discovered that they tried to push each other apart. This is the scientific principle, that opposite poles of a magnet attract and like poles repel. Basically, the idea in a maglev train is to somehow set up a magnet in the guideway (track) and one in the bottom of the train with like poles next to each other so that they push each other apart and lift the train slightly off of the guideway. The principle is simple, but getting it to work is not. It take some really big magnets to lift a train, and to get the train moving and to keep it correctly positioned on the guideway, along with a lot of other technicalities, has kept many engineers, scientists, and companies busy for many years.
