World's FIRST magnetic levitation train on RAILS - Is this the train of the future?

[@markotrieste]

It can't work, this is literally how emergency brakes of ICE trains work. I just don't understand how can they pull this stunt for so long.

[@Titan9731]

It uses magnetic reluctance to lock the wagon in place along the Y-axis. The magnetic fields in magnetic brakes should look completely different compared to the concept shown here. I‘m not an expert in this technology, but even if it is possible to achieve levitation in this way, I don‘t think this solution is practical in reality. As you mentioned, there should still be some braking force generated due to the initial magnetization of the metal. On top of that, there is a weight limit for the wagon, and I think the greater losses in classic trains come from air resistance rather than friction.

[@markotrieste]

@@Titan9731 resistance does not come from initial magnetization. It comes from the currents induced in the rail by the passing magnet. E=-d(fi)/dt Faraday's law: electrical field is equal to the rate of magnetic field change in the space. If the space is filled with conductive material, this will cause currents which dissipate huge quantities of energy as heat. kzbin.infoW1zofKNrx5o?si=ulXp-WGu0rAuQZNT

[@stefanbergung5514]

It is the same principle, that slows down magnets falling in a metal pipe. _kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3iWk2Smhp2ViLMsi=s3p0vOxEenbWKiPM You have to cut the tracks into 10cm parts to prevent this ... or you could just invest in working trains? No? Ok.

[@markotrieste]

@@Titan9731 KZbin has deleted my reply... anyway, I was trying to say the same thing as stefanbergung. The problem is Faraday's law and induced currents.

[@stefanbergung5514]

Let me advertise my new innovation 'Iron lift light'. It replaced magnetic lifts with steel weels. This dramatically reduces friction and makes it allot cheaper.

[@Etothe2iPi]

I agree, but I would suggest steel wheels that make it a lot cheaper.

[@bradmillard1689]

I've watch this twice and I don't see where the lifting force for the vehicle? The magnets affect sideways forces but nothing is proving the lift above the rail. So what I'm I missing?

[@TheShizobear]

It gets explained here 3:07

[@bradmillard1689]

@@TheShizobear that still doesn't explain what the lifting force is. When stationary the car would settle down on the rail unless there are other wheels/rollers holding it up.

[@TheShizobear]

@bradmillard1689 oh I see. Seems like I misinterpreted your question. Now I’m curious, too.

[@patfre]

@@bradmillard1689it does actually explain it. What he is saying is that the magnets on the side can’t go up or down due to the magnetic field meaning the magnets stay at the same height which the train is then attached to

[@markotrieste]

Put it this way: the iron mass of the rail would like to stay as near as possible to the magnets. If it gets too high in between the magnets, it goes to far away from them. This creates a lifting force. The side wheels avoid that the magnets completely stuck to the iron.

[@udirt]

How do you brake?

[@foreigngodx6]

by switching magnetic poles

[@DerDie-k9e]

Very good video😊

[@dangvorbei5304]

I wonder if this can magnetize the rails, and if it only works on welded track.

[@fischmukke]

That would be awesome if it can keep its promises

[@Etothe2iPi]

Gutes Video! Aber sprich bitte nicht so schnell. Dein Englisch ist schwer zu verstehen, wegen dem starken deutschen Akzent. z.B "cushion" wird "kuschen" ausgesprochen.

[@dangvorbei5304]

His English is a lot better than my German.😂

Vielen Dank fur diese Expose von ein andere Gadgetbahn. Our rulers are so rich that too many engineers are pitching stupid ideas to even stupider greedy people... because existing railways either can't or don't want to spend money to hire engineers for projects that would really expand range and frequency. Railways go where roads go more cheaply, with less maintenance, pollution and injury. If we built more tracks to take more traffic and service more businesses directly, then rail would also move more people and stuff faster. Yes, trucks can handle steeper grades, but most trucks aren't driving up and down mountain passes. Our world does just fine with steel, copper and aluminum to move us around.

[@jonasstahl9826]

Problem ist nur das man keine neuen Bahnstrecken bauen kann, da dies an Bürgerinitativen und "Umweltschützern", sowie politischer Inkompetenz scheitert.

[@yesterdayschunda1760]

the ones in Japan do like 500km/h

[@markotrieste]

Completely different principle.

I have a sonic toothbrush with Maglev motor and i kid you not, it only has to be charged every 1-3 months depending on how intense the use is 🤙🏼🗿
