The students proposed using a turbine fan to propel a maglev train, which would reduce capital and operating costs. Maglev trains use magnets to levitate and propel trains with no contact between the train and track. Typically lateral guidance magnets require large amounts of electricity. The proposed design would use two pairs of magnets to levitate the train and a high-speed turbine fan to push it forward using air pressure. This concept could lower costs and make maglev trains more viable for countries looking to implement new rail systems.

4. Working Principle
• Magnetic levitation is the use of magnetic
fields to levitate a (usually) metallic object.
• Manipulating magnetic fields and
controlling their forces can levitate any
object.
• Most important application of Magnetic
Levitation is Maglev Trains, Lifters & etc.

5. How Magnetic levitation Works
This means there is no friction between the train and the track!

6. How Traditional Guidance Work
Lateral Guidance is use to Push the train In forward direction
It works on Attraction & Repulsion principle of Magnet
Since all the Guiding Magnets are Electromagnets,
Hence they requires huge Amount of Electrical Energy.

7. Our Project Concept

8. Figure in above slide shows actual
concept of Project
•As shown in figure, we are levitating our train
Using 2 pairs of Magnet .
•The train will float due to Resultant of magnetic field
in the air gap .
•The train will move in forward direction due to air
Pressure exerted by fan

9. Use of High speed Turbine Fan
in Maglev train
Typical working of An Turbine Fan

10. •As shown in previous slide, High speed Turbine fan has
Capacity to breath low pressure air & release that air
With a tremendous pressure.
• That pressure causes an high speed of motion in the
Forward direction
•As there is only one turbine fan required, It reduces its
Capital cost & as well as running cost also.

11. Areas for Implementation
•Due to high capital cost of Maglev trains they are
Established in only some countries Like Japan, China.
•But if this Concept comes true & works fine, then the
Capital cost will be reduced by 35%.
• This reduced cost will attract Government as well as
Private companies to invest in project of MagLev train
•This Little project will contribute small share in
development of our country

12. •All noise comes from
moving air. This sound
is equivalent to the
noise produced by city
traffic.
•Speed can be
increased Upto 750
Km/h
Advantages

13. Safety
•The trains are virtually impossible to derail
because the train is wrapped around the track.
•Collisions between trains are unlikely because
computers are controlling the trains movements.
Maintenance
• There is very little maintenance because there is
no contact between the parts.

14. Disadvantages
• This system is not ready for use now, but it
should be ready in a few years.
• The top speed is too high so we will required
new controlling methods.
• The permanent magnets create a strong
magnetic field that could be a problem for some
passengers.

15. Summery
• Maglev trains use magnets to levitate and
propel the trains forward.
• Since use of turbine will reduce capital
cost as well as running cost also
• It is a safe and efficient way to travel
which
will slightly increase the growth of our
country

16. •Use of Turbine Fan is an efficient way for the reduction
in running cost of Maglev Train.
•Use of Turbine Fan is an efficient way for the reduction
in capital cost of Maglev Train.
•The MagLev offers a cheap, efficient alternative to the
current rail system. A country like India could benefit
very much if this were implemented here. Further
possible applications need to be explored
