Now that momentum is building for an ambitious plan to bring a high-speed “maglev” train system to the Washington region, questions are arising about its potential effect on existing rail ...
Can maglev trains overcome cost and construction challenges to become the next mode of high-speed transportation, or will they be overtaken by other ideas?
During a pivotal test of China's ingenuity in maglev train design, its ultra-high-speed (UHS) maglev transportation system reached the breakneck speed of 621 mph (1,000 km/h). This was the first ...
The US is home to more than 150,000 miles of railroad tracks—the most in the world—but expanding into high-speed trains has been slow.
The levitation created by this magnetic system is the real magic of a maglev system. How, without the normal amount of friction that propels other vehicles, does a maglev train move?
A maglev demo in Europe has showcased how easy it would be to use newer, levitating trains on the already expansive European rail system.
By technology, the inductrack system (permanent magnet passive suspension) segment dominated the global maglev train market in terms of growth rate.
