Airfare has skyrocketed ever since oil prices went up and airlines are also implementing new fees to cope with the high oil price. Because of this, people are now looking for another way to travel. Today, scientists are now researching new kinds of trains that can be almost as fast as airplanes but a lot cheaper.
The Maglev trains are now being researched and developed all over the world to provide cheap and fast way to travel for people. In fact, Maglev is now being used in some countries, such as China as part of their public transportation system.
Maglev is a type of train that will change the way you think how trains work. Although Maglev trains have tracks, the cars itself will not touch the tracks. In fact, Maglev trains dont even have any wheels. So, how does this type of train travel if it has no wheels?
Basically, the principle behind this is to use magnets to propel the train. This technology takes advantage of magnets to achieve lift and motion. Basically, Maglev stands for magnetic levitation. The Maglev trains used today can go as fast as...
