MAGNETIC LEVITATION A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with the present scenario of magnetic levitation with LIM. The magnetically levitated train has no wheels, but floats-or surfs-on an electromagnetic wave, enabling rides at 330 miles per hour. By employing no wheels, maglev eliminates the friction, and concomitant heat, associated with conventional wheel-on-rail train configurations. There are two basic types of non-contact Maglev systems Electro Dynamic Suspension and Electro Magnetic Suspension .EDS is commonly known as "Repulsive Levitation," and EMS is commonly known as "Attractive Levitation." Each type of Maglev system requires propulsion as well as "levitation." The various projects above use different techniques for propulsion, but they are all variations of the LIM or Linear Synchronous Motor. The conversion to a linear geometry has a far greater effect on induction motor performance than on that of synchronous motors. The cost of making the guide way is a high percentage of the total investment for a maglev system. The comparison looks even better for maglev when the terrain becomes difficult. Many of the tunnels, embankments, and cuttings necessary for roads and railroads are avoided because maglev guide ways can be easily adapted to the topography. The Maglev system requires a slightly larger start-up capital construction cost, its operating cost-because it deploys electricity in electromagnets in an extraordinarily efficient manner, rather than using as a fuel source coal, gas or oil can be one-half that of conventional rail. The crucial point is that maglev will set off a transportation and broader scientific explosion.

1. Introduction From the principal point of view, the magnetic levitation is a method which is used for suspending an object in the air, without any physical contact. There are few main types of the magnetic levitation – electromagnetic, electrodynamic, transformation, superconductive and diamagnetic. All these are usually based on the force interaction between magnetic field and gravitation fi...
متن کاملRayleigh-Taylor instability for immiscible fluids of arbitrary viscosities: a magnetic levitation investigation and theoretical model.
A magnetic field gradient was used to draw down a low density paramagnetic fluid below a more dense fluid in a Hele-Shaw cell. On turning off the field a Rayleigh-Taylor instability was observed in situ, and the growth of the most unstable wave vector was measured versus time. A theory for the instability that permits different viscosities for two immiscible fluids was developed, and good agree...
متن کاملMagnetic Field Is the Dominant Factor to Induce the Response of Streptomyces avermitilis in Altered Gravity Simulated by Diamagnetic Levitation
BACKGROUND Diamagnetic levitation is a technique that uses a strong, spatially varying magnetic field to simulate an altered gravity environment, as in space. In this study, using Streptomyces avermitilis as the test organism, we investigate whether changes in magnetic field and altered gravity induce changes in morphology and secondary metabolism. We find that a strong magnetic field (12T) inh...
