The role of superconductivity in maglev trains by Lankin D. and Milenko N. Maglev Trains: Magnetic Levitation - operates on the principle of magnetic repulsion and attraction propelled forward by a series of magnets on the track that generate a magnetic field, which interacts with the magnets on the train itself History and Development - in 1960s the technology began to be seriously researched and developed The first maglev train was demonstrated in 1979 in Japan The first commercially operated maglev train line opened in Shanghai in 2004: . up to 431 km/h . 30 km distance Photo by Pixabay Advantages - lower carbon emissions and reduced noise pollution reduction of congestion on roads and airports low energy consumption not too complicated (rather easy to build) Photo by Pixabay Thank you.
