What is MagRail?
MagRail is Magnetic levitated Coil Rail. It is not just an improvement of Maglev, but is a whole new generation of Transportation that can create a revolution. With the use of Hydrogen fuel cells, Solar energy, Vacuum tubes & Superconductors, it is not just efficient but has potential to reach speeds from *4000km/hr to 8500km/hr. Most important of all, it is not just a fantasy system but can be implemented in real life.
Salient Component of MagRail:
Tracks: MagRail does not utilize traditional laid tracks but uses vacuum tubes combined with coil guns.
MagRail just requires building up of loops supported by some structure interconnected with each other via Vacuum Tubes.
Although MagRail has aerodynamically perfect structure, but it utilizes vacuum tubes in order to remove air resistance which current generating maglev suffer causing a lot of loss useful energy.
Loops: The Loops are the key components of the MagRail. They are not only supporting structures, but actually provide acceleration to the train.
They compose of Superconductor loops which use a fraction of energy used by today’s electric trains and create super strong magnetic fields as compared to ordinary electromagnets and enable the train to reach such supersonic speed. For attraction, a small amount of current is passed through it to start the magnetic effect of loop and goes on until it is stopped. Loops are sequentially
activated and deactivated to give train a forward push.
Magnetic Leviation: MagRail features super cooled superconductors at its base which cause leviation of the train when they come over the loops. Since Magrail at any instant of time is supported by three loops, they efficiently levitate it giving a smooth drive.
Body: MagRail is made up Light materials and its surface is covered with solar cells which allow it to fulfill its energy needs. Also it consists of a Hydrogen fuel cell for extra energy needs.
Control: Since MagRail can only move forward or backward by alternatively activating and deactivating loops which can be controlled efficiently by smart computer system, it removes chances of brake failure or slipping or accidents due to human error.
Cost: Since it does not requires laying up of tracks and utilizes less energy and is self sustained for a long run, they are very cost and fuel efficient.
Rail Model: The efficient structure of MagRail allows its storage in form of stacks instead of having a places for storing of trains.
