Use of Maglev for Transportation in Future

EasyChair Preprint 9267

Abstract

This paper reviews how maglev or magnetic levitation technology works and how it has become an important part of us moving into the future. Although it is a difficult concept to grasp at first, many studies and researches have enabled us to understand the working principle behind this technology. Maglev technology is mainly used to help in transportation at relatively high speeds while using levitation or suspension with the help of superconducting magnets. Regardless of the high costs of setting up this technology, many countries including Japan, China and South Korea have already started using maglev powered trains as a mode of transport. Keeping this in mind and after modifying the same principle used in helping the trains levitate, we have thought of creating something of our own. It may seem fictional but it is possible. The idea is to create a hover board using maglev basics that may use a lot of magnets fixed on a rotating motor to help in levitation while high powered air blowers may be used in its movement. In the following segments present in the paper, we may be able to see how maglev technology works, it’s basics and how it is being utilized now. Following this we will showcase our own idea and how it can affect lives around us. Maglev technology has a lot of potential to make our lives easier and this paper intends on showcasing that.
