  1. Maglev Trains Sloan Hazel

  2. Electromagnetic suspension (ems) • German • .This system uses electromagnets on the train body itself that are attracted to the iron guideway rails. • systems works at all speeds • and eliminates the need for a separate low-speed suspension system. • Tolerance gap is only about 1 cm

  3. Electrodynamic suspension (EDS) • Japanese • Instead of using the attractive properties of magnets, It used the repelling force of magnets. • Japanese trains levitate nearly 10 cm above the guideway • “lift off” after about 62 mph • Wheels for this lift off and slow down speed

  4. Benefits • Reduced Friction • Maintenance • Speed • Noise • Energy • Electric • Green • More Efficient

  5. Liabilities • Original Cost • Initial Setup • Estimate $8.5 Billion for US • Weight • strong magnetic field • Large amount of energy and money • Health risks

  6. Shanghai maglev train • Length: 30.5 km or 18.95 miles • Time: 7 min • Longyang Road (Downtown) to Pudong International Airport • Top Speed: 501 km/h or 311mph (Speed Record in China) • Operational Speed: 431km/h or 268mph
