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
 
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'
My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
