Maglev Train

Electromagnetism

★Exhibit Content: Electromagnetic Effect ★Interaction: Mechanical Interaction ★Operation: Turn the handwheel and observe the levitation state of the train head. ★Exhibit Description: The exhibit mainly consists of a display stand, magnets, acrylic protective cover, coils, train model, handwheel, and instruction sign. Through mechanical interaction, it demonstrates the working principle of maglev trains to the audience. Using the principle of magnetic levitation, the train model levitates when the turntable rotates rapidly. Additionally, the exhibit is equipped with a graduated scale, allowing visitors to measure the levitation height of the train model. ★Scientific Principle: When the visitor turns the handwheel, the turntable begins to rotate. The turntable has several coils, and the train model is equipped with magnets. As the turntable rotates, an induced current is generated in the coils. This induced current creates a magnetic field that interacts with the magnets on the train model, producing an upward force on the train, causing it to levitate. By observing the levitation height on the graduated scale, visitors can see that the faster the turntable rotates, the higher the train levitates. Maglev trains utilize the basic property of magnets: "like poles attract, opposite poles repel." When we turn the handwheel, the rotation of the turntable generates an induced current in the coils, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field produced by the magnets on the train model, exerting an upward force on the train, causing it to levitate.
