Abstract
The term “Levitation” refers to technology related to magnetic levitation causes to propel
vehicles with magnets and not with wheels, axles and bearings. The vehicle is levitated above and short distanceaway from a “guide way” which creates both thrustand lift.
Such Maglev trains move very smoothly without friction and noise thanmass wheeledconventional transit systems. Such maglev transit system is unaffectedby weather. The system works with less power required for levitation.Themajor power loss is observed to overcome drag (air resistance).The maglev transportation system is more efficient, stable, economic and faster.High speed maglev trains promise to create dramatic improvements for travelling. High-speed maglev trains prospect will certainly prove to be a tough competitor to the aviation industry. It is more economic in construction maglev routes compared to conventional wheeled trains.
