Magnetic Leviation

Maglev or Magnetic tranportation Maglev is a system of transportation that suspends,guides and propals vehicles,predominently trains,using magnetic leviation from a large number of magnets for lift and propulsion.Maglev research and devolopment began in germany and japan during 1970's.After laboratory test in both countries,test track was consturcted in japan in 19070,s and germany during 1980's.This technology has the potential to be faster,quieter and smoother than wheeld mass train system.This technology has potential to exceed 6000km/he if deployed in a evacuated tunnel(ie.faster than air transport) In India a maglev line project was presented to india's railway minister Lalu prasad Yadav by an American company.If approved, this line would serve between the cities of Mumbai and delhi,the prime minister Manmohan singh said that if the line project is successful the government will buil more lines connecting other cities also .Maharashtra state government has also approved a feasibility of study for a Meglev train project.
