Students utilize computational thinking and the engineering design process to apply the concepts to the design an efficient, fully functional scale model maglev train. What Students Figure Out By the ...

This is the first in a series of articles about amazing technologies that promised to change the world but which did no such thing.

Research conducted by the .Traction Power State Key Laboratory at the Southwest Jiaotong University, successfully developed a vacuum magnetic suspension train model able to run at between 600 (372.8 ...

A Japanese bullet train reached a speed of 366 mph during a test run this week, breaking the previous record of 361 mph set in 2003.

Of Japan’s super-fast trains based on superconducting maglev technology, we’re sure you heard before. But what if you could have a functional scale model in your living room? Well, you can.

In March 1912, Bachelet was granted a patent on the magnetic levitating train system. The “maglev” traded slow, steam-driven engines for magnetic attraction and repulsion. Carefully arranged magnets ...

China is developing a high-speed train that will travel at 620 miles per hour through maglev lines in airless tubes underground.

A model of a maglev train received much public attention in 1914 when it was demonstrated in London, where photographs show Winston Churchill and other government officials viewing it.
