Researching Physics of Maglev Train Systems

AI Thread Summary
Maglev train systems, particularly those in Japan, along with developments in the USA and Germany, involve several key physics concepts. Classical mechanics and Maxwell's equations are fundamental to understanding their operation. Magnetic bearings play a crucial role in the functionality of these trains. Additional research into electromagnetic propulsion and levitation principles is also recommended. This foundational knowledge is essential for a comprehensive study of maglev technology.

Hi,
I was wondering if i could gt anyhelp with some research i was doing?

I'm looking at the Maglev train systems used in Japan, and some of the developing ideas in the USA and Germany.
What i was wondering is if anybody would be able to help me compile a list of all the physics concepts involved.

Thanking you in advance

Josh

I would start with classical mechanics and Maxwell's equations. Also look into magnetic bearings.
 
Thank-you
 

Thread '2:1 Pulley Question'

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...

Thread 'Why do all my clocks run slow?'

Hi. I noticed that all electronic devices in my household that also tell time eventually lag behind, except the ones that get synchronized by radio signal or internet. Most of them are battery-powered, except my alarm clock (which runs slow as well). Why does none of them run too fast? Deliberate design (why)? Wrong temperature for quartz crystal? Decreasing battery voltage? Or just a coincidence?
