Working  of Maglev Train:

The train will be floating about 10mm above the magnetic guiding track.The train will be propelled to move by the guide way itself. Thus, there is no need of any engine inside the train. The detailed 

working of Maglev train is shown in the figure below.

The train is propelled by the changing in magnetic fields. As soon as the train starts to move, the magnetic field changes sections by switching method and thus the train is again pulled forward.The whole guide way is run by electromagnets so as to provide the magnetic effect.

The two notable types of maglev technology are

·         Electromagnetic suspension

·         Electrodynamic suspension
