INTRODUCTION • The principal of a Magnet train is that floats on a magnetic field and is propelled by a linear induction motor. They follow guidance tracks with magnets. These trains are often referred to as Magnetically Levitated trains which is abbreviated to Maglev
MAGLEV… WHAT ?? • MAGNETIC +LEVITATION= MAGLEV • OPPOSITE ATTRACT LIKE REPEL • LEVITATION is derived from ‘levis’ means light.
LEVATION • A small (~6mm) piece of pyrolytic graphite levitating over a permanent neodymium magnet array (5mm cubes on a piece of steel).
APPLICATIONS • RAIL GUN • MAGNETIC FLOATERS • PROPULSION OF ROCKETS • MAGLEV TRAINS
MAGLEV TRAINS • INNOVATIVE TRAIN TECHNOLOGY • FRICTION FREE TRAVEL. • HIGH SPEED • ACCELERATION • CARRIES NO ENGINE • SAFETY & COMFORT

LINEAR SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR • A simple motor’s Stator is when Cut open and flattened it becomes a Linear Motor. • Instead of producing a Rotational Torque it produces a Linear forceand thus is practically suited to MAGLEV operation. • Speed control is achieved by Frequency controlor by varying the field Excitation by changing the current direction. • There is reaction platein which the current is induced, thus producing Horizontal motion

World’s first commercial MAGLEV SHANGHAI MAGLEV, Top speed: 400 Km/Hr. Developed by TRANSRAPID, Germany
Electrodynamic Suspension(EDS) • Built by RTRI,Japan • Uses a Super conducting Magnet. • Linear Synchronous Motor Application. • Repulsion Type. • Guideway clearance is up to 10 cm. • Expensive system
Propulsion Principle of EDS A repulsive force and an attractive force induced between the magnets are used to propel the vehicle (superconducting magnet). The propulsion coils located on the sidewalls on both sides of the guideway are energized by a three-phase alternating current from a substation, creating a shifting magnetic field on the guideway. The on-board superconducting magnets are attracted and pushed by the shifting field, propelling the Maglev vehicle.
Super Conducting Magnets and their cooling. At one end of the tank is the integrally-attached on-board refrigerator, which serves to re-liquefy the helium gas once vaporized by regular heat absorption and external disturbances during running.
EDS Developed by RTRI, Japan. TOP SPEED: 581 Km/Hr, REPULSION Type
Differences in brief : EDS & EMS • EMS is Attraction type whereas EDS is Repulsion type. • Guideway clearance: EMS- Upto 3/8” and EDS-Upto 4”. • Control Circuitry : EMS-on board (Power Ec. Control) EDS-External Control. • Guideway Structure: EDS has much Complex and expensive construction than EMS. • Magnets : EMS-electromagnets powered by continuously charged Batteries, EDS-Superconducting Magnets which need cooling arrangement. • TOP SPEED: EMS-450 Km/Hr, EDS-581 Km/Hr • EDS needs wheels at start but the EMS doesn’t.
INDUCTRACK TECHNOLOGY • Developed by USA. • Based on Halbach array concept. • REPULSION TYPE. • Permanent Magnets • Rests on wheel when stationary. • Permanent magnets lift upto 50 times weight. • Currently under R & D.
