  3. What is a Magnetic Levitation Train? • It is a high speed train that is lifted by magnetic repulsion and propelled along an elevated guide way by powerful magnets attached to the vehicle

  4. How Does A Magnet Levitation Train Work? • It is lifted by magnetic repulsion along an elevated guide by powerful magnets attached to the vehicle

  5. What Countries Are Currently Using Magnetic Levitation Trains? • Germany • Japan • China • Malaysia

  6. Where are these Trains Being Considered for Use In The U.S.A? • Maryland • New York • Boston • Washington D.C.

  7. How Are The Magnetic Levitation Tracks Built? • The track is made out of reinforced steel or concrete guide way beams

  8. What Speeds can the Trains Travel? • Up to 310mph

  9. What is the Average Amount of Passengers That can be Transported on a Magnetic Levitation Train? • Up to 10,000 people

  10. How are Magnetic Levitation Trains Designed and Built? • A wire that is wound in the track is the thing that powers the maglev • The train has superconducting magnets that induce the magnetic fields in the wire

  11. Pros and Cons • Pros- Faster, more efficient, less noise, can hold more people and safer. • Cons- It takes too long to build track, very expensive, it gives off radiation, Affect airline businesses because people will go on these trains instead of flying in a plane

  12. What are Some Health and Safety Concerns? • Radiation • Becoming nauseous • Claustrophobia
