Abstract

The term "maglev" refers not only to vehicles but also the interaction between them and race. This interaction is very important because each component is designed according to the other to create and control the levitation (sustentation) magnetic. One of these ideas is to train by lifting push and pull forces generated by magnets with the same polarity or with opposite polarities. The train can be driven by a linear motor installed on the rails and / or vehicle.
