Electromagnetic Propulsion Technology is based on the concepts and applications of electromagnets to enable propelling of an object . This is perhaps the most researched and worked on areas of electric propulsion with greatest possible application in public transport as well as advanced aerospace propulsion systems . For public transport it 's been a magnetic levitation technology which is also known as Maglev that has transformed the vary way of public transport . Electromagnetic Propulsion Technology based Magnetic levitation transport is

a form of transportation that relies on electromagnetic force for suspension guidance and propelling . This technology when applied for mass transit system can enable transportation at 500 to 600 km /h (Bonsar , p1 Jahn Choueiri , p134

As a concept , magnetic levitation train was developed by a German Scientist Hermann Kemper and on Aug . 14 , 1934 , the patent was granted But it was in Britain , world 's first magnetic levitation service was introduced as a link between two terminals at Birmingham airport . The distance was of 400 meters with top speed at around 10-mph . In Germany the TRANSAPID project connects Berlin and Hamburg . The train will move with a speed of 292 kph and would cover the distance of 292 km in flat 60 minutes . In Japan , the advancements have led to the feasibility of moving trains at a speed of 500 kph and on a 7-km test track began in Miyazaki Prefecture , the manned two-car vehicle has been tested and found to register...
