AMLEV IS A SELF-REGULATING MAGLEV

AMLEV is a fulfilled dream of engineers. It is a high speed transportation system ensuring absolutely stable and safe flight of a vehicle in its own magnetic field with a speed up to 540 km/h (150 m/s) without a servo control system. Like a live creature it reacts instantly and automatically to any deviation from its position on an assigned trajectory or any deflection of the vehicle speed from its given value by producing internal magnetic stabilizing forces sufficient to eliminate such variations. Amlev is based only on rare-earth permanent magnets and laminated steel cores covered by an aluminum layer.

AMLEV is capable of maintaining levitation force » 33´ weight of levitated magnets. Permissible lateral pressure is up to 6 t per vehicle; guaranteed deviation - 2mm. It is also capable of developing propulsion force up to 9t with the vehicle weight 35 t and its capacity of 150 passengers. Its power system (three-phased current of constant frequency) is simple and reliable. Minimal radius of curves is 1000 m with speed 225km/h, which makes it compatible with existing highways and railways.
