How It Works
The Maglev Train isn't like an ordinary train that one would see driving throughout the United States carrying coal, cargo, and much more. It is a train that doesn't have to run off of regular fossil fuels like other trains, the energy can be obtained from other sources. It runs off of electro-magnetism to create a Magnetic Levitation at high speeds of travel.
Magnetic Levitation comes from a process by placing a magnet over a piece of metal causing electrical currents to flow in the metal that creating a force pushing the magnet upwards. If enough force is created it would then produce levitation.
There are three components that are required for the Maglev to work: 1) A large electrical power source, which increases the power of magnetism 2) Metal coils lining the guideway of the train 3) Large guidance magnets are attached underneath.
