World's fastest train
At a state-of-the-art station in the Chinese city of Shanghai, passengers are about to embark on a beautiful new train. Soon it reaches a speed of 5 kilometers [1 mile] per hour, the world's fastest train that regularly carries passengers from one place to another. The distance to Pudong International Airport is 3 km [1 mile] in 5 minutes, but the most amazing thing about this train is that it runs without wheels.
The train, which runs from Shanghai to Pudong, is called the Maglev Train. In addition, the train does not have a driver, but it has computers that constantly inform the control station where the train is and how fast it is moving.
Features of Maglev:
It was not easy to build this train and its track. For example, the distance between the train and the track is very short and there is no room for change in this distance. But the soil of Shanghai is soft which causes the tracks to sink. In addition, concrete has been used to build the rails, which are affected by cold and heat, so the rails have been constructed in such a way that they remain smooth despite these changes.
The technology used in the Maglev train has many advantages. Normal trains have engine and wheel noise, but the Maglev train has no such noise. It also does not emit smoke. The Magellan train uses three times less energy than a car and three times less energy than an airplane. The AC inside is used to run the train. Since the train has no wheels, it can cross mountains with steep slopes and can take very narrow turns. Laying often does not require the construction of bridges and tunnels.
If the Maglev Train has so many benefits, why aren't more countries building it today? One of the reasons is that the cost of building it is too high. Is currently rejected because it costs twice as much to build as a normal high-speed line. In addition, the Maglev train cannot run on the tracks of other trains.
German technology has been used for the Maglev train in Shanghai and research is underway in Germany, Japan and other countries to improve this technology. Set a speed limit per hour, but the train does not carry passengers. To date, the only Maglev line to carry passengers is between Shanghai and Pudong.
Each bogie of the train has speedometers. As soon as the Maglev train leaves Pudong for Shanghai, all the passengers' eyes are fixed on these clocks. They want to see when the train reaches the limit. It touches the speed, so most passengers do not get to see the scenery when they first travel on this train. Only then do they realize how fast this train is and they understand why the Maglev train is called "Bin Par's plane".
How does this train run with magnetic force?
There are electromagnets under each bogie.
1.Electric magnets are also found on the lower part of the track.
2.These two magnets together lift the train to such an extent that only half an inch is left between them. Other magnets are mounted on either side of the bogies of the train so that the bogies are straight on the track Stay
3.Inside the track are also mounted magnets that pull the train forward.
4.To save energy, the control station provides electricity to a part of the track only when the train is passing over it.
5.These magnets are supplied more power when the train accelerates or climbs higher. When the train has to slow down or go in the opposite direction, the magnet Pull the train in the opposite direction.
Is this train safe?
Although the Maglev train travels very fast, the edges of the train's bogie encircle the track in such a way that it is less likely to derail. Passengers do not need to wear safety belts. You can also walk on the train. In the event of a power outage, special batteries run the train's magnet and move it at a speed of 3 kilometers [1 mile] per hour. Slowly stops on the track.
Are train magnets harmful to people who have a pacemaker in their heart? Research has shown that these magnets are not effective enough to be harmful to health.
The train travels at a speed of 5 kilometers [1 mile] per hour.
