Hey guys could some one give me a link to an engineering report on maglev trains. I am doing an assessment on braking systems and have chosen magnetic brakes from the maglev train. So i need a full on complex engineering report on them and info on Hydro-Aire Brakes, Aerodynamic Brakes, Linear permanent magnet brakes.

Welcome to the PF. What have you found with google so far? I did a google search on maglev train brake, and got lots of good hits. What have you found at howstuffworks.com? The same search there netted some good stuff.
 
I actualy got nothing, no solid information just very versy short summories. I need in depth info. If you have any good links can you psot them pelase?
