Researching Physics of Maglev Train Systems

AI Thread Summary
Maglev train systems, particularly those in Japan, along with developments in the USA and Germany, involve several key physics concepts. Classical mechanics and Maxwell's equations are fundamental to understanding their operation. Magnetic bearings play a crucial role in the functionality of these trains. Additional research into electromagnetic propulsion and levitation principles is also recommended. This foundational knowledge is essential for a comprehensive study of maglev technology.

Hi,
I was wondering if i could gt anyhelp with some research i was doing?

I'm looking at the Maglev train systems used in Japan, and some of the developing ideas in the USA and Germany.
What i was wondering is if anybody would be able to help me compile a list of all the physics concepts involved.

Thanking you in advance

Josh

I would start with classical mechanics and Maxwell's equations. Also look into magnetic bearings.
 
Thank-you
 

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
