MagLev Toy Train & Rails
MagLev, derived from magnetic levitation, is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of magnets, one set to repel and push the train up off the track as in levitation (hence Maglev, Magnetic-levitation), then another set to move the 'floating train' ahead at great speed taking advantage of no friction. Within certain "medium range" locations (usually between 200-400 miles) Maglev can compete favorably with high speed rail and airplanes.
The challenge was the engineering, at a very low cost, of a toy train and its rails track that uses the principle of magnetic levitation. The result is extremely positive.
Technical details:
• Use of linear magnets
• Adjustable speed and direction
• Magnetic track (rails)
• H0 format
• Copyright & Patent: M12009A000616 - NuZoo Robotics Srl (Italy)
This MagLev package is ready: this is the first of a several final products based on magnetic levitation.
