• IN MAGNETIC LEVITATION MAGNETIC
FORCE PROPEL AND GUIDE A VEHICLE FEW
CENTIMETERS ABOVE A GUIDE WAY USING
MAGNETIC FORCES. THE PHYSICAL
CONTACT BETWEEN VEHICLE AND GUIDE

ACHIVED BY EDS OR EMS.PROPULSION IS
ACHIVED BY LIM OR LSM
BASIC PRINCIPLE

MOVING CHARGE
AND
MAGNETIC FIELD
MAGNETIC FORCE
DEPENDS ON
1.LENGTH OF
WIRE
2.CURRENT
3.STRENGTH OF
MAGNETIC FIELD
CURRENT AND MAGNETIC
FORCE
Direction of the force is
perpendicular to current
direction and magnetic field.
The repulsion or attraction
between two parallel wires is of
particular importance to
magnetic levitation. If the
currents flow in the same
direction (as shown), the wires
attract. If the current flow in
opposite directions, the wire
repels.

LEVITATION AND PROPULSION

1) Levitation by attraction

2) Propulsion by repulsion
LEVITATION BY ATTRACTION
In order for the train float,there
Must be two coils.The top coil is
installed in the train and the bottom
coil is placed in the track .Attraction
is caused by having the currents
within each of the circuits , traveling
in the same direction
PROPULSION BY REPULSION
Similar poles of a magnet repel
each other . In order for the train
to float , there must be two coils.
The top coil is placed within the
train and the bottom coil is placed
on the track . The current in the
top circuit travels in the opposite
direction of the current in the
bottom , resulting in the repulsion
between two coils.
 FLOATING ON COURSE

 PROPAGATION VELOCITY
The forward speed for LSM or LIM is
determined by propagation velocity of
electromagnetic field. In co-axial cable the
velocity of electromagnetic wave is hardly 65%.
This is due to inductance down the length of wire
and capacitive coupling of surface of wire with
free space . Thus electromagnetic wave takes
more time to travel in co-axial cable than in free
space.
The magnetic field of bogie magnets are static
, thus the propagation velocity along the bogie
is zero.
The equations for the bogie velocity are as
follows:-
Vb = V2 - V1
V1 = propagation velocity of guide rail drive coil
V2 = propagation velocity of bogie magnetic field
Vb = bogie velocity
CONDITIONS :

If V2 = 0 then Vb = V1
If V1 = V2 then Vb = 0
If V2 = - V1 then Vb = 2V1
 SPEED CONTROL
The speed of MAGLEV depends on the propagation
velocity of electromagnetic coil excitation .
• For LSM :Bogie moves at the propagation speed
• For LIM : Bogie will have a certain slip
Speed control can be done by :
1. Adjusting capacitance
2. Having switch system
3. Succession of excitation coil
APPLICATIONS OF MAGLAV
PROPAGATION
• Launch Vehicle
• MERRI
• Inter-city trucks
• Mach-3
 ADVANTAGES
ENERGY CONSUMPTION:
MAGLEV uses 30% less energy than high speed train

SPEED ICE Train MAGLEV Train

200km/hr 32Wh/km 32Wh/km

250km/hr 44Wh/km 37Wh/km
300km/hr 71Wh/km 47Wh/km
400km/hr - 71Wh/km
 OPERATION COST
• Virtually no wear and tear.

• Specific energy consumption is less.

• Faster train turn around time means fewer

vehicles
 NOISE LEVELS:
• No noise by wheel rolling or engine.

VIBRATIONS:
• Just below human threshold of perception

POWER SUPPLY:
• 110KV lines fed separately via two substations

POWER FAILURE:
• Batteries on board automatically activated
FIRE RESISTANCES:
• Latest non-PVC material used that is
non-combustible
• Carries no fuel.

SAFETY:
• Collisions are impossible because only
section of tracks are activated as
needed.
 Conclusion

1:Maglav trains use magnets to levitate and propel the

trains forward
2:Since there is no friction these can reach high speeds
3:It is a safe and efficient way to travel
