Magnetic levitation

Magnetic levitation

  • Eric Laithwaite
    Eric Roberts Laithwaite (14 June 1921 – 27 November 1997) was an English electrical engineer, known as the "Father of Maglev" for his development of the linear induction motor and maglev rail system.
  • Baltimore – Washington D.C. Maglev
    The Baltimore – Washington D.
  • Shanghai Maglev Train
    The Shanghai Maglev Train or Shanghai Transrapid (Chinese: 上海磁浮示范运营线) is a magnetic levitation train, or maglev line that operates in Shanghai, China.
  • Old Dominion University
    Old Dominion University also known as ODU is a public, co-educational research university located in Norfolk, Virginia, United States, with two satellite campuses in the Hampton Roads area.
  • SkyTran
    skyTran is a Personal Rapid Transit system first proposed by inventor Douglas Malewicki in 1990, and under development by Unimodal Inc.
  • Transrapid
    Transrapid is a German high-speed monorail train using magnetic levitation based on a 1934 patent.
  • Krauss-Maffei Transurban
    Krauss-Maffei's Transurban was a 12-passenger automated guideway transit (AGT) mass transit system based on a maglev guideway.
  • M-Bahn
    The M-Bahn or Magnetbahn was an elevated Maglev train line operating in Berlin, Germany from 1989 to 1991.
  • Linimo
    Linimo (リニモ Rinimo), formally the Aichi High-Speed Transit Tobu Kyuryo Line (愛知高速交通東部丘陵線 Aichi Kōsoku Kōtsū Tōbu Kyūryō-sen) is a magnetic levitation train line in Aichi Prefecture, Japan, near the city of Nagoya.
  • Hyperloop Makers UPV
    Hyperloop Makers UPV (a.k.a. Hyperloop UPV) is a team of students from the Universitat Politècnica de València (Valencia, Spain) designing a rail-free concept of Hyperloop.
  • L0 Series
    The L0 Series (Japanese: L0系 Hepburn: Eru-zero-kei, "L zero series") is a high-speed maglev train that the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) is developing and testing.
  • Maglev
    Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a transport method that uses magnetic levitation to move vehicles without making contact with the ground.
  • Diamagnetism
    Diamagnetic materials create an induced magnetic field in a direction opposite to an externally applied magnetic field, and are repelled by the applied magnetic field.
  • Orlando maglev
    The Orlando International Airport to Orange County Convention Center maglev train is a proposed US$400 million magnetic levitation train system that will connect the Orlando International Airport and the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, with a stop at the Florida Mall.
  • Line S1, BCR
    Line S1 (Chinese: S1线; pinyin: S Yī Xiàn) or Mentougou Line (Chinese: 门头沟线; pinyin: Méntóugōu Xiàn) formerly known as Datai Line (Chinese: 大台线; pinyin: Dàtái Xiàn), or Beijing Maglev Trains (Chinese: 北京低速磁悬浮; pinyin: Běijīng Dīsù Cíxuánfú) is a magnetic levitation train currently under construction.
  • Changsha Maglev
    The Changsha Maglev, or Changsha Maglev Express(Chinese: 长沙磁浮快线; pinyin: Chángshā cífú kuàixiàn), is a medium-low speed magnetic levitation, or maglev line in Changsha, China.
  • California–Nevada Interstate Maglev
    The California–Nevada Interstate Maglev project is a proposed 269 mi (433 km) Maglev train line from Las Vegas, Nevada to Anaheim, California.
  • SCMaglev
    The SCMaglev (superconducting maglev) (formerly called the MLU) is a magnetic levitation (maglev) railway system based on the principle of magnetic repulsion between the track and the cars.
  • Incheon Airport Maglev
    The Incheon Airport Maglev is a maglev line in South Korea opened in February 3, 2016.
