Welcome to the only inter-Nordicnewsletters about magnetic-trains.
SwedenThe Swedish governmentagency Trafikverket declaredearlier this moth that they havestudded the possibility to makethe track in “Ostlänken”(Stockholm-Linköping) raisedup over the landscape in steedof cutting throw it.This method give greatenvironment and buildingspeed advantages.With raised track inspired bymaglev-track, have some, botnot all of the advantages.Trafikverket still is notcomenting on maglevtecnology.

The Danish Parliament'sTransport Committee receives on2014-04-24 this magnet traingroup in an audience where a newseries of OH are being displayed(link) and a number ofdevelopment opportunities will bepresented.Link
InternationalThe Nordic "8 million city" grouphas organized the finalconference. We have initiatedialogue with the group and futuredevelopment areas.Ole Rasmussen (DK) frommagnetic train group attended theconference.
The first train tested on the track wasthe Transrapid TR06, it topped outjust over 400km/h. A lot of data wascollected from TR06 and in 1989 aradical new train, the TR07 withimproved aerodynamics, suspensionand lifting mechanism. The mas wasalso lowed considerately. A newcheaper track segment was alsodeveloped, significantly decreasingcost of track construction. A handfulof segments was instated fordurability testing.After 15 years of testing in 1999 theTR07 was updated in a TR08 pre-production, ready for regular service.A new concrete hybrid track sectionwas also developed do decreasetrack installation cost more. Thissystem is almost identical to the onelater installed in Shanghai.In 2007 after years of experience inregular service a TR09 wasdeveloped with a high number ofimprovements over the TR08. Witheverything from increasing confort, toreducing maintenance cost. The oldthyristor was also replaced by moderntransistors reducing energyconsumption.
Transrapid TestTrackSeries – Magnetic trains around the globe

In early 1980 it was obvious thatTransrapid needed a full scale testtrack. The first part was finished in1984. In 1985 the track wascomplemented with a southern

(estimated using the same model Themodel is not optimized for conditionsalong the route and therefore candistinguish one part against expectingreal results). Model assumes directland rout from Aarhus to Kbh. If this isnot available the number of travelerswill be significantly higher, and as aeffect cost lower. There is no modelavailable to date doing thisestimation.See map overleafTrack can use a new south exit fromCopenhagen with extensive tunnel-work, or a north exit following thesame route as Goteborg toCopenhagen line, reducing cost, butalso reducing capacity.Following a somewhat straight lineacross Sjaelland there is a possibilityof stop near Roskilde and Kalundborgreducing the strain on existingcommuter service.Over Kategat to Samsø there isneeded a tunnel to allow for shippingto pass with unlimited size. UsingSamsø as a staging platform thetunnel can exit and using a mediumsize bridge allowing small andmedium size ships to pas.At Samsö a new city can be built withmere minutes access to both Aarhusand Copenhagen center.Over to Aarhus a direct bridging lowcost Transrapid track can be built.After reaching Aarhus a station canbe build just south of the city toreduce cost and building time, or nearcenter in a tunnel for intimidate cityaccess.Future expansion can be built righttrow Aarhus to be split up in twosingle track lines to access bothAalborg and Esbjerg to a reasonablecostContinue 2nd page

Samsø in year 2040? This could be true forthe Samsø, but Århus C only 7 minutes awayand Kbh 25 minutes, it becomes veryattractive to live on the island.
Transrapid TR09 is arguably themost modern magnetic-levitationtransport-system available on themarket today, replacing relay stationwith electronic inverters could bothincrease efficiency and reducemaintenance.

Transrapid trains are similar toLinimo trains in having liftingmagnets under both sides of the T-shaped track. But while Linimo usesa passive magnetic field Transrapidis lifting in a moving electromagneticfield. That is Transrapid uses thesame magnetic field for bothpropulsion and lifting.The induction power transferee is asystem unique to TR09 reducingmaintenance cost for both vehicleand track to a fraction of othersystems. Transfering power to thetrain cordless, similar to a electrictoothbrush.
A great advantage with Transrapidtransport system its that its totallymodular, making it possible toupgrade part by part.
