 ABSTRACT

Main objective of this article to prove the advanteges of

magnetic levitation over conventional rail vehicles.Thus,a brief
history of maglev,comparison of maglev and traditional railway
vehicles and some technical points of maglev specifications are
gonna be major focus point of this presentation.While all of
these unique matters being talked you it is going to be main
manner that providing short,essence and clear
informations,hereby you can catch the point,might turn it into
permanent information
 INTRODUCTION

The population of mankind is growing up constantly and dramatically.This situation leads to

lots of problems need be solved so rapidly and cost-effectively.Shortly,these problems are
supplying food and clean water,energy,transportation of human or some sort of
freights,hard acces to basic necessities to survive.These matters might be expanded.In
21.century transportation is one of the major problems in developing and developed
countries to keep production chain and economy alive and active.To be able to achieve that
millions of people have to relocate within the day.Various types of vehicles are being
already used to do this.But there is a new player of this arena.It is maglev.Amazingly
fast,safe,lower malfunction and less maintenance.So,ıt is time to understand what it is.
 A BRIEF HISTORY OF MAGLEV
 1-Maglevs were
conceptualized in
America of 1900s by
an American inventer
which is known as
Robert Goddard.Thıs
is crucial step cause
first thing to succed
something is just
dreaming.
2-First commercial
and limited usage of
maglev in 1984

3-1990s were intense test

period.
4-First public service in
2003 Shanghai.
 Why should maglev be chosen instead of
conventional trains.

As can be seen
in the
figure,much
more less
maintenance
required by
means of lack
of friction
 Even if you change
the materials of
connection surface
it is not more
realiable or
environmentally-
friendly.Because
maglev principle
does not need a tie
surface,hereby
deformation does
not take place
unlike other types
of railway vehicles.
What I mean is being
seen here,in
conventional railway
vehicles engine
produces
torque,transmits
that force over axle
to wheel.After all
these happenings
wheel set got
damaged and
deformed over time.
HOW MAGLEV WORKS

Actually,it is genuinely quite

simple and basic physic.All the
things are being done through
magnets.We all know that the
same poles of magnets push
each other.This is the the way
how we keep our vehicle in
the air.This is called
LEVİTATİON.
 The second part is a little bit
complicated,but it is highly easy to
understand how our vehicle will begin going
forward and reach to so high velocity.It is
much more better telling that over visual
elements.But,all the trick is sequencing of
magnets.To lead vehicle to go forward which
originates from magnets is called
PROPULSİON.

If we desire to state magnetic levitation in

terms of mathematical equaition,it would have
been done in that way;
Levitation+propulsion=magnetic levitation
 CONCLUSİONS

Maglev is much more economic and affordable

transportation system except first investment
cost.But,lower rate of maintenance redeems this
cost.So,it would be logical choice to construct
maglev.Additionaly,no risk of derailment and to
travel over quite big distances takes shorter time.
