Magnetic Levitation
Technology
Magnetic levitation (maglev) is a highly advanced technology. It
has various cases, including clean energy
(small and huge wind turbines: at home, office, industry, etc.),
building facilities (fan), transportation systems (magnetically
levitated train, Personal Rapid Transit (PRT), etc.), weapon (gun,
rocketry), nuclear engineering (the centrifuge of nuclear reactor),
civil engineering (elevator), advertising (levitating everything
considered inside or above various frames can be selected), toys (train,
levitating spacemen over the space ship, etc.), stationery (pen) and so
on. The common point in all these applications is the lack of contact
and thus no wear and friction. This increases efficiency, reduce
maintenance costs and increase the useful life of the system. The
magnetic levitation technology can be used as a highly advanced and
efficient technology in the various industrial. There are already many
countries that are attracted to maglev systems. Many systems have been
proposed in different parts of the worlds, and a number of corridors
have been selected and researched.
Maglev can be
conveniently considered as a solution for the future needs of the world.
