Maglev – Introduction.

Image
Maglev (derived from Magnetic levitation)  is a transport method that uses magnetic levitation to move vehicles without making contact with the ground. Maglev trains does not have any wheels they move in air due to the magnetic repultions. Maglev trains move more smoothly and more quietly than wheeled mass transit systems. The power needed for levitation is typically not a large percentage of its overall energy consumption; most goes to overcome drag, as with other high-speed transport. Compared to conventional trains the maglev trains are costly to establish but saves more after.Moreover such high speeds are possible to get only through a non frictional model. The most energy generated in a normal train (may it be generated by diesel or by electricity) is wasted by the forces which oppose the motion among which the frictional force is a major factor. The non contact feature of maglev reduces the energy loss to a great proportion due to which it has good speed generation an

Upto 30% Discount on late booking, Fare Reforms by Indian Railways!

Image
Indian Railways’ premium trains Shatabdi and Rajdhani began to lose their popularity after the application of dynamic fare system. To regain the lost popularity Indian Railways have started the new ticketing system which offers a discount of upto 30% on late booking in Shatabdi. Indian Railways figured out 9 Shatabdi which suffered due to the dynamic fare system and on those routes only this reform is been adopted. The railways wants to have a check if this system would be successful or not.After its success it could be adopted to all Shatabdis and Rajadhanis.

Rewari-Sitapur Passenger coach with solar panel. The solar DEMU have 6 coaches having 12 solar panel each on the roofs which are expected to generate 300W and 3.6KW per coach which are more than enough of power for running lights and fans. More
