WONDERFUL TECHNOLOGY OF MAGNETIC LEVITATION BEHIND THE SUPERFAST TRANSRAPID TRAINS

Image
In the current changing scenario of climate change due to global  warming, governments of many countries are really encouraging and advising more people to use more public transportation. So, one of the brilliant options is a trans-rapid system of trains operated with  amazing and wonderful technology like Magnetic levitation. This trans-rapid system of  transportation does not require any driver unlike in high-speed trains and moreover, this magnetic levitation technology uses two sets of magnets:  one set to repel and push the train up off the track a nd another set to move the elevated train ahead, taking advantage of the lack of friction.  With this wonderful and advanced technology, the train travels along a guideway of magnets which control the train's stability and speed. While the propulsion and levitation require no moving parts, the bogies can move in relation to the main body of the vehicle and some technologies require support by retractable wheels at speeds under 150 k

     The word " Vimana " is a Sanskrit word that literally means "measuring out, traversing" or "having been measured out". So, Vimana is defined as "a car or a chariot of the gods, any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air; other descriptions make the Vimana more like a house or palace or even in temple architectures, and one kind is said to be seven stories high", and quotes the Pushpaka Vimana  of Ravana  as an example from one of the greatest Hindu epics namely Ramayana. It may denote any car or vehicle, especially a bier or a ship as well as a palace of an emperor, especially with seven stories.      More interestingly,  In some Indian languages like Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu,  and Hindi,  vimana   or   vimanam  means "aircraft" , for example in the town name Vimanapura  (a suburb of Bengaluru city ) and Vimannagar, a town in Pune city.
