Support System
The electromagnets on the
underside of the train pull it
up to the ferromagnetic
stators on the track and
levitate the train.
The magnets on the side
keep the train from moving
from side to side.
A computer changes the
amount of current to keep
the train 1 cm from the This means there is no friction
track. between the train and the track!

= ¦atteries on the train power, the system, and therefore
it still functions without propulsion.
= The batteries can levitate the train for 30 minutes
without any additional energy.
= Linear generators in the magnets on board use the
motion of the train to recharge the batteries.
= Levitation system uses less power than the trains air
conditioning.
Propulsion System
The system consists of
aluminum three-phase cable
windings in the stator packs
that are on the guideway
When a current is supplied
to the windings, it creates a
traveling alternating current
that propels the train
forward by pushing and
pulling.
When the alternating current is reversed, the train brakes.
Different speeds are achieved by varying the intensity of the
current.
Only the section of track where the train is traveling is
electrified.

Application Information
Safety
The trains are virtually impossible to derail because the train is
wrapped around the track.
Collisions between trains are unlikely because computers are
controlling the trains movements.
Maintenance
There is very little maintenance because there is no contact
between the parts.
Comfort
The ride is smooth while not
accelerating..
Economic Efficency
The initial investment is similar to
other high speed rail roads.
Operating expenses are half of that of
other railroads.
A train is composed of sections that
each contain 100 seats, and a train can
have between 2 and 10 sections.
The linear generators produce electricity for the cabin of the
train.
Speed
The train can travel at about 300 mph.
For trips of distances up to 500 miles its total travel time is
equal to a planes
It can accelerate to 200 mph in 3 miles, so it is ideal for short
jumps.
Environment
It uses less energy than existing transportation systems. For
every seat on a 300 km trip with 3 stops, the gasoline used per 100
miles varies with the speed. At 200 km/h it is 1 liter, at 300 km/h
it is 1.5 liters and at 400 km/h it is 2 liters. This is 1/3 the energy
used by cars and 1/5 the energy used by jets per mile.
The tracks have less impact on the environment because the
elevated models (50ft in the air) allows all animals to pass, low
models ( 5-10 ft) allow small animals to pass, they use less land
than conventional trains, and they can follow the landscape better
than regular trains since it can climb 10% gradients (while other
trains can only climb 4 gradients) and can handle tighter turns.
Noise Pollution
The train makes little noise because it does not touch the track
and it has no motor. Therefore, all noise comes from moving air.
This sound is equivalent to the noise produced by city traffic.
Magnetic Field:
The magnetic field created is low, therefore there are no
adverse effects.
