Magnetically Levitated Trains (Maglev) Shripad Shashikant Chopade, M Tech (Machine Design & Robotics), UPSC (IES) IRSME (R&D), Government of India, Ph.D Research Scholar, India --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract: Magnetic Leviated Trains system represent a promising evolution in the high-speed ground transportation offering speeds in excess of 500-600 mph along with the potential for low operating costs and minimum environmental impact. The goal of this effort is to investigate the feasibility and viability of maglev systems in the Japan. The emergence of a sophisticated technology such as maglev requires a need for a coordinated research test program and the determination of test requirements to identify and mitigate development risk and to maximum use of domestic resources.
The study is directed toward the identification and characterization of maglev systems development risks tied to preliminary system architecture. Research objectives are accomplished by surveying experiences from previous maglev development programs both foreign, domestic and interviews with individuals involved with maglev research and testing. Planning and implementation requirements are identified for a maglev test program, including the development of a facilities strategy to meet any operational concept that evolves out of early development effort. Also specified is the logical development flow and associated long-lead support needs for sub-scale and full-scale testing. Keywords: Beam, Propulsion Coil, Track, Levitations and Guidance Coil, Magnets and Magnetic Coil, Magnet Trains, N-S Poles, Super Conducting Magnet.
INTRODUCTION Magnetic Levitation Transport or Maglev is a form of transportation that suspends guides and propels vehicles via electromagnetic force. This method can be faster than wheeled mass transit systems potentially reaching velocities comparable to turboprop and jet aircraft (500 to 600 km/h).
