Magnetic Levitation Train The Pony Express is to today’s electronic mail as the stagecoach of the Old West is to which modern miracle of land transportation? Did you guess a speeding locomotive? Very good, but a better answer is the magnetic levitation train—abbreviated MagLev. These passenger trains—the world’s fastest—float on a magnetic field about 10 mm above the guideway, propelled by a linear induction motor. Shanghai Pudong International Airport has a MagLev that reaches speeds over 300 mph, 60% faster than the famed Bullet Trains of Japan. It gives the smoothest ride ever, coasting along under magnetic power.
MagLev trains are used primarily when ...
