Maglev (derived from the English word magnetic levitation) is a method of moving an object forward without wheels, axles or bearings by lifting it into space through magnetic force. In this method, the vehicle is pushed slightly upwards from the ground and pushed forward by magnetic force. Used ubiquitously, maglev-powered trains can radically change the way people travel.
Maglev trains usually run much smoother and quieter than other conventional wheeled trains due to the absence of friction problems. In addition, by changing its mass through magnetic energy, this train can run at maximum speed in any weather. Although magnetic levitation is the lifting of an object by magnetic force, in some cases mechanical methods are used to provide a small amount of support to the object. It doesn't take much energy to keep a maglev floating in the air, but the lion's share of the energy is expended in moving forward through the friction of the wind. Although modern electric trains are now moving at a considerable speed, the maglev train still holds all records of speed.
Compared to conventional wheeled high-speed trains, the Maglev requires a lot of money to build the railroad. A lot of friction and vibration while the wheeled train is running on the railway line causes its machinery and machinery to wear out and get damaged very quickly. This requires a lot of regular maintenance of both the line and the train to maintain the high speed of the conventional trains which is a very expensive matter However, although the construction of the line for the Maglev is costly, its maintenance cost is much lower than that of the conventional train.
Just great article brother 👌
