4. What is a Magnetic Levitation Train? It is a high speed train that is lifted by magnetic repulsion and propelled along an elevated guide way by powerful magnets attached to the vehicle

5. How Does A Magnet Levitation Train Work? It is lifted by magnetic repulsion along an elevated guide by powerful magnets attached to the vehicle

6. What Countries Are Currently Using Magnetic Levitation Trains? Germany Japan China Malaysia

7. Where are these Trains Being Considered for Use In The U.S.A? Maryland New York Boston Washington D.C.

8. How Are The Magnetic Levitation Tracks Built? The track is made out of reinforced steel or concrete guide way beams

9. What Speeds can the Trains Travel? Up to 310mph

10. What is the Average Amount of Passengers That can be Transported on a Magnetic Levitation Train? Up to 10,000 people

11. How are Magnetic Levitation Trains Designed and Built? A wire that is wound in the track is the thing that powers the maglev The train has superconducting magnets that induce the magnetic fields in the wire

12. Pros and Cons Pros- Faster, more efficient, less noise, can hold more people and safer. Cons- It takes too long to build track, very expensive, it gives off radiation, Affect airline businesses because people will go on these trains instead of flying in a plane

13. What are Some Health and Safety Concerns? Radiation Becoming nauseous Claustrophobia
