grimreaper Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 how does the maglev trains stop? i know the magnets will pull and push to move the train but when to stop it does it mean the magnets will stop working so the train will stop by itself? thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Wang Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Were you spelling it megnetic or magnetic into google? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G4M3R Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 They reverse the polarity of the magnets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hifive Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Wouldn't it be possible to reverse the magnets? Reverse the current or something so that they attract instead of repel? Would that stop it? Anyways, Maglev trains are incredible. I rode the one in Shanghai, and it's a treat going 450+ km / h. Everything just flies by! I wish cities would have it in the states. It'd be easy going on a weekend excursion to las vegas or nyc then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
